What Facebook content can I download?

Public videos including Facebook Watch content, page videos, Reels, and shortened fb.watch links. Private videos, videos in closed groups, and content behind login are not accessible.

What video quality do I get?

The highest quality Facebook serves for that video — typically 720p or 1080p (HD). The exact quality depends on what the uploader posted. We don't transcode or downscale.

How long does the download take?

Metadata fetch takes 3–8 seconds — slightly longer than TikTok or Instagram because Facebook's metadata endpoints are more restrictive. The actual file download depends on your internet speed and video size.

Can I download Facebook Stories?

Not currently. Facebook Stories require authenticated access and aren't reachable by public metadata APIs. Only public feed videos, Watch content, and Reels are supported.

Can I download Facebook Live videos?

Once a Live broadcast has ended and been saved to the page's video library, it can be downloaded like any other public video. Live broadcasts in progress cannot be downloaded.

Is it legal to download Facebook videos?

For personal use — saving your own content, archiving public news videos, or preserving reference material — this is generally acceptable. Re-uploading someone else's video as your own, using it commercially without permission, or violating privacy may infringe copyright or Facebook's Terms of Service. Always respect the original creator's rights.

Why do some Facebook links fail?

Private videos, videos in closed groups, region-locked content, and videos posted by users with strict privacy settings can't be accessed. Facebook also occasionally changes its CDN structure, which can temporarily break downloads — try again after a few minutes if a valid public video fails.

About the Facebook Video Downloader

Everything you need to know

Why download Facebook videos?

Facebook doesn't offer a native download option for most videos — only videos you uploaded yourself, and even then only through a buried menu in the mobile app. This tool gives you a direct download link for any public Facebook video, Reel, or Watch content, at the original quality. Perfect for saving newsworthy clips, archiving your own page's videos, or watching offline without needing a Facebook login.

Supported link formats

You can paste any of these Facebook URL formats: standard watch links (facebook.com/watch?v=123…), page video URLs (facebook.com/pagename/videos/123…), Reels (facebook.com/reel/123…), and shortened links (fb.watch/abc123). If the video is public, it will download. If the link is behind login or privacy restrictions, the tool returns a clear error.

How it works

When you paste a Facebook link, our backend fetches the video's public metadata and CDN URLs using a WhatsApp-style preview user-agent — the same trick that makes Facebook videos embed correctly in chat apps. We extract the highest-quality MP4 URL, sign it with a time-limited HMAC, and return a direct download link that streams from Facebook through our proxy to your browser. Nothing is stored on our servers.

Legal and ethical use

Facebook videos are copyrighted by their creators unless otherwise stated. Downloading for personal, non-commercial use — archiving your own uploads, saving public news footage for reference, or preserving videos that might be deleted — is generally considered fair use. Re-uploading someone else's video as your own, using it in commercial projects without permission, or exploiting it in ways that harm the original creator may infringe copyright and violate Facebook's Terms of Service. Always credit original creators and respect their rights.
