When asked: “Does Facebook tell you if someone downloaded your photo?” others may tell you that it does and even show you faked images as proof.

You will then need to crop the image back down to size, but there will be no way for Facebook to tell you if a photo has been downloaded in this way.

In the event that you are still somewhat paranoid about whether or not Facebook will notify them, you can take a screen capture of the image by viewing it full screen and then hitting ALT+PRTSC before saving it to your computer. If you use the download icon on Facebook, it is probably being tracked, but by using the right click feature, there is no way for Facebook to track who has saved the image. The second part to the above question is: “can you tell if someone saved pics on Facebook?” When someone saves a picture from Facebook, they start by right clicking on the image and then saving the document to their own computer. If you do not wish for anyone but close friends to see your photos, then you will want to change your settings so that each time you share a photo only your friends can see them – standard privacy setting on Facebook allows anyone who can search for your profile to see pretty much anything you post on your Facebook. For those whom are concerned about privacy, you will want to review your Facebook privacy settings in depth as there are many options that can make your photos public.

Notifications on Facebook work according to each individuals' security settings, but there is no setting for notifications about downloading photos, just notifications for when one is tagged in photos, or when a photo is shared by another, or uploaded. First and foremost, the answer to the above question is NO, they do not know nor will they receive a notification when you download photos from another's Facebook profile.
