Converting Your Facebook Profile into Facebook Page


What's the Need?
Since personal accounts are meant for individual people, they aren't suited to meet your business needs. Pages offer more robust features for organizations, businesses, brands and public figures. Keeping a personal account for anything other than an individual person is a violation of Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. If you don't convert your noncompliant account to a Page, you risk permanently losing access to the account and all of its content. 





How do i convert it?
If you'd like to convert your personal account to a Page, click here

When you convert your personal account to a Facebook Page, Facebook will transfer your current profile picture and add all your friends and subscribers as people who like your Page. facebook will also make your account's username the Facebook web address for your Page. 

No other content will be carried over to your new Page, so be sure to save any important content before beginning the conversion.

Will all the content on my timeline be transferred when I convert my personal account to a Page?
When you convert your personal account to a Page, some things will be automatically transferred for you:

  • All your confirmed friends and subscribers will be converted to people who like your new Page
  • Your current profile picture will become your Page's picture.
  • Your username will become your Page's Facebook web address
  • You'll remain the admin of any Facebook Pages you managed

You won't remain the admin of any groups or apps you managed from your personal account. Be sure to add new admins before converting. Additionally, content on your timeline (ex. photo albums, profile information, etc.) will not be transferred. Download any important content before converting.


Can I convert my newly created Page back to a personal account?
If you've accidentally converted your personal account to a Facebook Page, you can submit a request for a reversal. Please keep in mind that it's a violation of Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities to maintain a personal account for anything other than an individual person. If you wish to submit an appeal, you can do so here.
