Download in 3 steps

No install, no signup — done right in your browser.

1

Copy the Facebook video link

Click ⋯ on the video → Copy link, or copy from the address bar: facebook.com/watch/?v=… or facebook.com/pagename/videos/…

2

Paste and resolve

Drop it into the box above. When the video ships in more than one quality, every option is listed for you to choose from.

3

Choose a quality and download

Usually HD and SD. HD is a bigger file and a sharper picture; one click saves the MP4.

Once downloaded, use multi-platform scheduling to queue the content to TikTok, Instagram and more in one go.

What can and can't be downloaded from Facebook

Facebook's permission model is considerably more complex than other platforms — a video being visible to you does not mean it is visible to our resolver. This section explains which videos work, which don't, and why the difference is deliberate.

01

Public videos, Watch and Reels all work

As long as the video's audience is set to Public, it resolves whether it lives on a personal profile, a business page, Facebook Watch or the Reels feed. Facebook Reels — links starting facebook.com/reel/ — are handled the same way as any other video and come back as a vertical MP4.

02

Why private videos can't be downloaded

This is the most common question we get. Facebook's Friends-only and group-only settings are enforced through your logged-in session: you can see the video because your account is on the list. Our resolver does not hold your session, and it should not. Any site that asks for your Facebook password in order to 'unlock private videos' is, functionally, phishing you. So we don't support that content — a security boundary, not a missing feature.

03

Choosing between quality tiers

Facebook prepares several transcodes of the same video. When the results show more than one video item, they typically map to HD (720p or 1080p) and SD (around 360p). Take HD if the clip is going into an edit; take SD if you're archiving it or sending it somewhere bandwidth-constrained, since the file is dramatically smaller. We never re-encode — whichever tier you pick, you get that original file.

04

Live replays and long videos

Public live broadcasts can be downloaded once the replay is generated, but that takes a few minutes; resolving immediately after a stream ends may find nothing, so wait and retry. Very long videos — over an hour — are more exposed to browser and network instability. The tool automatically retries on an alternate route if a transfer fails; if it still fails, switching networks usually fixes it.

FAQ

Facebook downloader FAQ

A few things worth knowing before you download.

How do I download a video from Facebook?+

Open the ⋯ menu on the video, choose Copy link, paste the address into the box above, resolve it and pick a quality. No browser extension required.

Can I download private Facebook videos?+

No. Friends-only and group-only content is gated by your logged-in session, and we neither hold nor request your credentials. Any site claiming to unlock private videos is asking for your password — don't give it.

Are Facebook Reels supported?+

Yes. Links beginning facebook.com/reel/ are handled the same as any other video and return a vertical MP4 file.

Does the video download without a watermark?+

What you save is exactly the frame you watched play: Facebook prints nothing over the video and this downloader doesn't either. Reshared videos are a different matter — many carry the caption bar, logo or subtitles the original author burned in before posting, which belongs to the footage itself rather than to the platform.

Can I download a Facebook Live replay?+

Yes, once the replay of a public broadcast has been generated. That processing takes a few minutes, so resolving right after the stream ends may return nothing — wait a little and try again.
