Does it fix Facebook's removal of exif/metadata from images?

There's also https://www.fbexporter.com/, which uses the Facebook API to get the metadata and put it back in the EXIF data, but unfortunately it will only export photos you are tagged in, not all photos you've uploaded.

This is an open-source project, in case you don't feel like dropping your zip file in to your browser (even though it does run _in_ your browser): https://github.com/textileio/textile-facebook

For those wanting to run this locally: git clone https://github.com/textileio/textile-facebook cd textile-facebook/ python -m http.server # Python 3.x, or python -m SimpleHTTPServer # Python 2.x

Just to clarify: the python bit is to run a local webserver. You do not need python to run this project. If you're on the node/npm bandwagon, you may find it easier to use this:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server

This is awesome, it makes me wish I had my Facebook data. I deleted my account without downloading it :/

Bummer. There is a grace period, I forget how many days, where you can undo it before it's gone forever. You could sign back in, undo, export, and then redo. Unless you did it too long ago.

Yes good point, I should have been more clear! Thanks for the clarification :)

Keep in mind that, just because it's open source, and possibly hosted on github pages doesn't mean that the hosted copy is the same as the open-source.

Yup, take a look at the page source to be as sure as you can :)

We made sure it wasn't uglyfied or minified, so folks who want can see what's up
