Downloading images from the internet through a browser is a very simple process that we all know how to do and, in fact, it is one of the first things that every person learns when they begin to interact with computers. This is just as basic a function as knowing how the copy and paste commands work. However, when we want to download images from social networks, things get complicated.
It gets complicated because some platforms have a feeling of ownership towards all the content that users publish, totally removed from reality, since, despite the fact that in the conditions of use they state that they can do whatever they want with the photos, it is legal and it really is not. This feeling of ownership sometimes makes downloading images a complete odyssey, not for all photos, but for certain posts, especially on Facebook.
But if, in addition, we want to download a large number of images from Facebook, things get even more complicated, since we are forced to carry out the process one by one unless we use the different extensions for Chrome that allow us to perform this task in seconds, as long as it is not about our photographs, since we can do this process directly from the platform.

Next, we select if we want to download the images in HD version (Download HD) or if we want prioritize download speed (full speed). Finally, we click on Select a Folder to Download All to select in which folder we want to save the content and the download will begin.

Album Downloader
Album Downloader is also an interesting extension to take into account to download all the images that are part of a Facebook album. This extension works in a similar way to the previous one, since it displays a banner at the top of the browser when we access the Facebook photos section. But, unlike the previous one, the extension compresses all images into a ZIP file that we can unzip natively in Windows without the need to use any third-party application.
