Often times, you're working on dox'ing someone, and you hit a dead end. This will help you find a Facebook profile from just a Facebook picture's URL.
Prerequisites
- able to right click an image and view it directly
- have the file saved, with a name like "535035_437599272997897_2093328748_a.png"
take a look at the Facebook URL from the image you've got (Facebook even keeps the ID in the name when you save-as a picture to your PC)
Code:
https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-ash3/c0.6.180.180/s160x160/535035_437599272997897_2093328748_a.png
- The important part of the URL is the last chunk of numbers near the end of it:
- Usually, the center group of numbers (called a Facebook ID, or FBID for short) is the ID of the Facebook we're looking for.
- Take that ID, and add it after Facebook's URL, like below: (in my example, I used the ID from the URL above)
- This takes us to that user's Facebook profile and/or the photo album that photo came from.
you can also try the two other groups of numbers in the original URL as well, to see if you get a profile
