See Locked Profile Pictures in Facebook

After launching the timeline in 2012, the first thing that Facebook did was to protect the profile pictures with privacy Settings. Well, it’s actually a good thing. Because you’ll be safer from people with bad intentions. But, what if someone, with his entire body as a private profile picture, sent you a friend-request and at the same time, you can’t recognize his name. Won’t you like to check out at least his profile picture? Obviously, you’ll. In fact, there may come many situations when you need to check out the private profile picture of someone, but you can’t because of his/her privacy settings. Well, don’t worry. With me, you definitely can!

You might be in a hurry to know this. Just follow these simple steps you will get what you want.

Open any Profile Page/Timeline in Facebook

Right click on profile picture. Select Open image in new tab /Copy Image URL
and copy the image link. It will be like this.

or

Remove the highlighted text in your image URL.

It will be like this:

Hit ENTER.
You will see the full sized picture as uploaded by the user.


Trick – 2 : To get full Resolution Picture

  1. Get the username or user ID from his/her timeline URL.
  2. Click on this URL
  3.  http://graph.facebook.com/USERNAME/picture?width=2000&height=2000.
  4. Replace ‘USERNAME’ with the his/her username.
  5. Hit ENTER, and there you go.
The 2nd trick is much more easier than the first one. Moreover, if you can’t access his/her profile due to some reasons (like, she blocked you), then too you can get the profile picture without any hassle. You just need to keep his/her username or user ID in mind.
