How do I get the link to an album on Facebook?

Facebook allows users to share photos by creating albums. Once you’ve created an album, you may want to get a direct link to that album to share with friends or use elsewhere. Getting the link to a Facebook album only takes a few clicks.

Open the Album

To get the link to an album you’ve created on Facebook, you first need to open that album. Here’s how:

1. Go to Facebook and log into your account.
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
3. Select “Photos” from the menu.
4. This will take you to your Photos page where all your albums are listed. Locate the album you want and click on it to open it.

Once you’ve opened the album, you’re ready to get the link to share it.

Copy the Album Link

With the album open, getting the link is easy. Here’s what to do:

1. Look at the top of the album window for the album title and number of photos. Click on the title.
2. This will highlight the album title indicating it is selected.
3. Right click on the highlighted title and choose “Copy Link Address” from the menu.
4. The album link is now copied to your clipboard.

You can now paste this link anywhere you want to share it. When pasted, the link will take anyone directly to that album on your Facebook profile.

Sharing the Album Link

Once you’ve copied the album link, here are some ways you can share it:

• Paste it in an email, text, Facebook post, or message to share the album with friends.
• Paste it on a separate website or blog to embed the album.
• Paste it in a document along with photos for sharing or printing.

The album link gives quick access to that album without needing to search for it on your profile. Share it anywhere you want people to see your Facebook photos!

Link Only Works for Some Viewers

One thing to keep in mind is that the album link will only work for people you’ve allowed to view that album. If the album is fully public, anyone with the link can view it. But if you’ve limited access to friends only or a custom list, only those people will be able to see it.

Make Album Public

To allow anyone with the link to view the album:

1. With the album open, click the options button (three dots) at the top right.
2. Choose “Edit Privacy” from the dropdown menu.
3. In the window that pops up, set it to “Public” and click “Confirm”.

Now the album is fully public and anyone you share the link with can view it.

Preview Link for Others

To check what someone else will see, open the album link in a private browsing window. If it’s not visible there, then others won’t see it either with just the link.

Get Notification When Album is Viewed

Facebook allows you to get a notification each time someone views your album. Here’s how to turn this on:

1. With the album open, click the options button (three dots) at the top right.
2. Choose “Turn on notifications” from the dropdown menu.
3. Toggle the switch on for “Get notifications when this album is viewed.”
4. Click “Turn On” to confirm.

Now whenever someone clicks that album link and views the album, you’ll get a notification. This lets you see how many people are actually looking at your shared album link.

Disable Album Link If Needed

If you ever want to disable or reset the album link, that’s easy to do:

1. Open the album and click the options button (three dots) in the top right.
2. Choose “Edit Privacy” from the dropdown menu.
3. Change the privacy setting to “Only me” and click Confirm.

This removes all public access to the album. To share it again, repeat the steps above to choose a different sharing option.

Conclusion

Getting the link to share a Facebook album is simple! Just open the album, copy the link from the title, and paste it wherever you want to share it. Remember the link may only work for certain viewers depending on your privacy settings.

Use album links to easily share albums on Facebook without having to add each viewer individually. Sent the link through email, text, or social media posts to give quick access to your photos.
