Description
===========

FBCacheView is a simple tool that scans the cache of your Web browser
(Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome), and lists all images displayed
in Facebook pages that you previously visited, including profile
pictures, images uploaded to Facebook, and images taken from other Web
sites. For every Facebook image, the following information is displayed:
URL of the image, Web browser that was used to visit the page, image
type, date/time of the image, visit time, image file size, and external
URL (For images taken from another Web site).



System Requirements And Limitations

  XP and up to Windows 10. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.

Start Using FBCacheView
=======================

FBCacheView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL
files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file -
FBCacheView.exe

After running it, FBCacheView begins to scan the cache of your Web
browser and displays the list of all images loaded from Facebook Web
pages. You may need to wait up to a few minutes until the scanning
process is finished. After the scanning process is finished, you can also
watch the image in the lower pane of FBCacheView, by selecting the
desired item in the upper pane.

If from some reason FBCacheView fails to detect the cache of your Web
browser properly, you can go to 'Advanced Options' window (F9), and
choose the desired cache folders to scan for each Web browser.

* URL: The URL of the image on Facebook.
* Web Browser: The Web browser that stores the specified Facebook image
  file in the cache.
* Image Type: The type of the image: Profile image, uploaded image, or
  external image taken from another Web site. For 'External Image' type,
  the original URL of the image is displayed on 'External URL' column.

  of Facebook. This column usually represents the time that the image was
  uploaded to Facebook.
