Facebook Video Downloader

Facebook publishes each video twice — an HD copy and a much smaller SD one. Both appear here with their real sizes, so choosing is a decision about your data plan rather than a guess.

A share link, an address-bar link, or a shortened one — all fine.

01How Facebook serves video

What you are actually getting

The specifics for Facebook, so nothing about your download is a surprise.

  1. 01

    Facebook typically publishes exactly two renditions: an HD copy (usually 1080p) and an SD copy (360p–480p). Both appear with their sizes so you can pick on data cost, not guesswork.

  2. 02

    Both renditions are single combined MP4 files, so downloads start instantly.

  3. 03

    fb.watch short links work directly.

  4. 04

    Facebook Reels use the same delivery pipeline as ordinary videos and behave identically here.

  5. 05

    Older uploads are often SD only, because that is all that was ever encoded.

02Limits, stated plainly

What will not work

Every downloader has these. Most sites hide them until you have already tried three times.

Only public posts work
Friends-only and group-restricted videos require a session. Check by opening the link in a private window first.
Use the post's permalink
A link copied from the feed sometimes points at the feed position rather than the video. Open the post first, then copy from the address bar or the post's own share menu.

03How it works

How to download from Facebook

No account, no software to install, no confusing second download button.

  1. Copy the Facebook post link — from the Share menu, or straight from your browser's address bar.

  2. Paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Fetch.

  3. Look over the list: every quality, format and exact file size is shown before you choose.

04Questions

Facebook, answered

How do I download a Facebook video in HD?

Paste the post link and pick the HD row. If only SD appears, HD was never encoded for that upload.

Can I download private Facebook videos?

No. If the video needs a login to view, it cannot be fetched anonymously.

Do fb.watch links work?

Yes, paste them as-is.

Can I get just the audio?

Yes — switch to the Audio only tab and choose MP3 or the original track.
