We often turn to social media platforms like Facebook to connect and reminisce.
Still, there is something more about a memory you can hold in your hands.
Printing posts can also translate into meaningful gifts you can compile and give to a loved one.
So what do you do if you want to print a Facebook post?
You can print a Facebook post by:
1. Connecting a printer and pressing right-click from your mouse or keypad and selecting the “Print” command.
2. You can take a screenshot and print directly with Bluetooth or export it to your computer for printing.
Printing a Facebook post is pretty easy to do. You can choose a few different methods, which we’ll discuss in this article.
The Different Methods of Printing a Facebook Post
There are three common methods to print a Facebook page for the different kinds of posts you might be interested in.
You can follow the same steps to print anything across the internet.
It would be best if you keep in mind not to download or print anything sensitive to the post’s owner.
Let’s look at the first method to print a Facebook post.
Method #1: Print The Web Page Directly
Before following these steps, ensure a printer is turned on and connected to your device:
- Open the browser on your laptop/desktop.
- Launch the Facebook website.
- Open the Facebook page that you want to print.
- When you have opened the page you want to print, just right-click or double-tap if you are on a Mac.
- From all the options, select “Print.”
- You can check your printing details after you have given the print command.
- Once you have finalized your printing specifications, click the blue button that says “Print.”
Instead of clicking on ‘Print,’ you can use keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+P for Windows users and Command+P for Mac users.
Method #2: Download the Page and Print It
This second method is mainly used for printing Facebook posts that are photos.
The steps are relatively simple; let’s have a look at them:
- Open the browser on your laptop/desktop.
- Launch the Facebook website.
- Open the photo you want to print.
- Click on the three dots in the right corner.
- Click on “Download” from among the options.
- Either right-click on the photo if you’re using a Windows laptop or tap with two fingers if you use a Mac.
- Click “Print.” For Mac users, click “Command + P” or tap “File” on the top left corner of the screen.
- Review all details once the printer window opens.
- Once you are satisfied with the settings, click the “Print” button.
Usually, photos are more likely to get printed by users because they’re easier to save and print.
You can also access the Save Photo feature on your smartphone and follow the same steps to print through your mobile.
Method #3: Print From Your Phone
This method will work best if you want to print a Facebook post through your smartphone.
This method can work for any phone or software you are operating.
Let’s dig deeper:
- Launch the Facebook app on your smartphone.
- Go to the screen or post you want to print.
- If it is a photo, tap on it and tap the three dots in the top right corner.
- Select “Save to phone.”
- If it is a text post or another screen, just take a screenshot.
- Transfer the screenshot or photo to your computer.
- Once you have downloaded the screenshot on your computer, just right-click it and select the “Print” option.
- Review all details once the printer window opens.
- Once satisfied with the settings, click on the “Print” button.
You can also send screenshots to a printer directly if your printer has a Bluetooth option.

However, you might face serious legal consequences if you steal intellectual property.
But if you’re just trying to pin some ideas, make some albums, and save some memories, you don’t have anything to worry about.
Existing in the digital age can pose many threats to our online content.
Sometimes it gets taken down.
Facebook posts are also at risk of being reported for an inaccurate reason, so printing Facebook posts can become a great alternative to preserve content.
