Steps
Open the Google Photos app and sign in to the account that holds the pictures you want.
Tap a photo to open it full screen, or press and hold on several photos to select them all at once.
Tap the three dot menu at the top right and choose Download, or Save to device, so the pictures land in your phone gallery.
For a single photo, you can instead tap Share and pick Facebook from the share sheet, then post it straight away.
Open the Facebook app and tap your profile picture to go to your profile page.
Tap Photos, then Albums, then Create album.
Type an album name, pick who can see it such as Friends or Only me, then tap Create.
Tap Add photos, select the downloaded pictures from your camera roll, then tap Done or Post to finish.
Add captions or tag friends if you like, then save the album.
Tips and common mistakes
The download creates a copy on your phone, so your original Google Photos stay untouched in the cloud.
Delete the downloaded copies from your gallery afterwards to save space.
The audience you pick when creating the album applies to every photo inside it, so check it before adding pictures.
Very large or HEIC files can take a moment to upload, so keep the Facebook app open until the album finishes loading.
Questions
Does moving photos to Facebook delete them from Google Photos?
No. You are uploading a copy, so the originals stay in your Google Photos library.
Can I add more pictures to an album later?
Yes. Open the album in Facebook, tap Add photos and pick the new files from your camera roll.
Can I do this on a computer?
Yes. Download the pictures from photos.google.com to your computer, then upload them through the album page on facebook.com.
