Download from Facebook

Paste a link to a Reel or a video post and save it.

By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.

How it works

  1. 1

    Get the post address

    Click the timestamp on desktop and copy the bar; in the app use Share → Copy link.

  2. 2

    Paste it and press Start

    Every facebook.com shape works. fb.watch short links do not — see below.

  3. 3

    Save

    One video row at the quality the uploader posted.

What you can get

Reels and ordinary video posts both work, whether the link says facebook.com or web.facebook.com — the share sheet gives either. Anything behind a login cannot be read, which covers private groups, friends-only posts and most of what a profile keeps to itself. Facebook also serves its video in AV1, a format older phones cannot play, so we convert it to H.264 before handing it over: the file is larger than the original and it opens anywhere.

Why fb.watch is refused

A short link is a redirector: it says nothing about where it goes until our server follows it, and allowing one inside a list of permitted sites means the list permits every site. That is the standard way a tool like this is turned into a proxy for probing someone else’s network.

Paste the address the post itself shows and it works. These shapes are accepted:

  • facebook.com/watch?v=1234567890
  • facebook.com/reel/1234567890
  • facebook.com/pagename/videos/1234567890
  • web.facebook.com and m.facebook.com, of any of the above

What quality to expect

Facebook re-compresses uploads, often hard, so a video that was crisp when filmed can arrive soft. That is how it is stored on their side rather than something this adds — the file is already H.264 with AAC, so it is copied rather than re-encoded.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my link not work?

If it starts with fb.watch, open it once in a browser and copy the full facebook.com address it lands on.

Can I download from a group?

Only a public one. A private group needs membership, which means an account.

Does it work with reels?

Yes, facebook.com/reel/ addresses are handled the same way.
