Import your Facebook posts
Bring your own Facebook posts into this missionary's Mission Archive. Each one lands at its date, with its words and photos.
1. Export your information from Facebook
- On Facebook, click your profile picture, then Settings & privacy → Settings → Meta Account → Your information and permissions → Export your information.
- Click Create export, choose your Facebook profile, then Export to device.
- Pick the dates you want, set Format to JSON and Media quality to High, then click Start export.
- Facebook lets you know when it's ready. Download it from Available downloads within 4 days — every file, if there are several. There's no need to unzip them.
1. Export your information from Instagram
- On Instagram, click More, then Settings → Meta Account → Your information and permissions → Export your information.
- Click Create export, choose your Instagram profile, then Export to device.
- Pick the dates you want, set Format to JSON and Media quality to High, then start the export.
- Instagram lets you know when it's ready — it can take up to 30 days. Download it from Available downloads within 4 days — every file, if there are several. There's no need to unzip them.
2. Add the downloaded file
Drop your Facebook download here — the .zip, or every .zip if Facebook split it.
Only your posts and their photos are read. Your messages and everything else stay on your computer.
3. Choose what to bring in
Choose the years and months to bring in — usually the months of the mission.
That's a lot for one book. The months of the mission keep it a comfortable size.
Keep this page open until the import finishes. If it stops, drop the same download again — posts already imported are skipped.
