What this Facebook video downloader does
This tool takes a link to a public Facebook video and gives you a direct file you can save to your phone or computer. It works with standard video posts, Facebook Reels, and public Facebook Stories. There's nothing to install,paste a link, and a preview with HD and SD download options appears in a few seconds.
How to download a Facebook video
- Copy the link. Open the video on Facebook (app or browser), tap the three-dot menu, and choose Copy Link.
- Paste it above. Drop the link into the box and click Download Video.
- Pick a quality. Once the preview loads, choose HD for the original resolution or SD for a smaller file.
- Save the file. Your browser downloads the MP4 directly,no redirect to a third-party app.
Downloading Facebook Reels
Reels use the same video player Facebook uses for regular posts, so the process is identical: copy the Reel's share link and paste it into the tool above. You'll get the same HD/SD choice once it loads.
Saving Facebook Stories
Public Stories,ones anyone can view without following the account,can be downloaded the same way. Stories set to friends-only or followers-only can't be pulled by this tool, since it only has access to whatever the link itself makes publicly viewable.
HD or SD,which should you pick?
HD keeps the original resolution Facebook stored for that video, which is best if you plan to rewatch it on a larger screen or repost it elsewhere. SD is a compressed, smaller file,handy on a slow connection or when storage space is tight. Not every video has a separate HD version; when that's the case, only the SD option will appear.
Works on any device
Because the tool runs entirely in your browser, it works the same way on an iPhone, an Android phone, or a desktop computer. On mobile, downloaded videos typically land in your device's default Downloads or Files app, from which they can be shared or moved into your camera roll.
A note on copyright
Downloading a copy for personal, offline viewing is generally fine, but the underlying video still belongs to whoever created or posted it. Reposting, reselling, or using someone else's footage commercially without permission can run into copyright issues,use this tool for content you have the right to save.
When a link won't process
A failed download usually comes down to one of a few things: the post is private or restricted to a specific audience, the video was deleted or age-gated, or the link was copied from an address bar redirect rather than the actual share link. Opening the link directly in a browser first,confirming the video plays,is the quickest way to check before trying again here.

How do I download a Facebook video?
Open the video on Facebook, tap Share, then Copy Link. Paste that link into the box above and click Download Video. Choose HD or SD when the preview appears.
Can I download Facebook Reels with this tool?
Yes. Facebook Reels use the same underlying video player as regular posts, so copying the Reel link and pasting it above works the same way.
Can I download Facebook Stories?
Public Stories can be downloaded the same way,copy the Story link and paste it in. Stories limited to friends or followers require you to be logged in and able to view them; this tool can only fetch content that's publicly accessible from the link itself.
What's the difference between HD and SD downloads?
HD gives you the original higher-resolution version of the video where Facebook has one available. SD is a smaller, lower-resolution file,useful for a quicker download or smaller file size.
