Facebook video downloader, HD MP4
Paste any public Facebook link, feed video, reel, watch page or a share link from a public group or page, and take the MP4. Facebook keeps a full resolution HD file and a lighter SD re-encode, and both are offered when they exist, so you can choose sharpness or a smaller download on mobile data.
Why people use it
Files stream straight to your device. We keep no copy of the video or the link.
No sign up, no email, no tracking pixel. Paste a link and save the file.
Every tool on the site is free to use, with no daily download cap.
We pick the highest stream the source offers, up to 4K where it exists.
One paste, one click. No queues, no waiting rooms, no forced ads between steps.
Runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet and desktop. Nothing to install.

What quality Facebook actually serves
Facebook keeps an HD and an SD rendition of nearly every video and picks between them based on your connection. We list both so you can choose file size over sharpness when you are on mobile data.
| Format | What to expect |
|---|---|
| HD MP4, 720p or 1080p | The full rendition, roughly 30 to 60MB for five minutes. |
| SD MP4, 360p or 480p | Around a quarter of the size, fine for reference clips. |
| Reels MP4 | Vertical 1080x1920 when the creator uploaded at that size. |
| MP3 audio | Handy for lectures, sermons and long live replays. |

Why a Facebook download sometimes fails
The video is in a private group and will not resolve
Group and friends only posts need a session cookie. Only content that loads in a logged out browser can be fetched.
A live replay stops partway
Facebook stitches live broadcasts from segments and the manifest can still be assembling. Wait until the replay shows a fixed duration, then try again.
Only SD is offered
That upload never had an HD rendition, usually because it was posted from an older phone or reshared through Messenger.
Facebook Frequently asked questions
Why do some links fail?
Videos in private groups or on friends only profiles are not public, so the link cannot be opened without a session.
What is the difference between HD and SD?
HD is the full resolution upload, SD is a lighter re-encode. Pick SD on slow connections.
Do Facebook reels work?
Yes, reel links resolve the same way as normal video links.
Can I save a live broadcast?
Only after it has ended and Facebook has published the replay.
Is it free?
Yes, there is no account and no payment step.
Where does the file go on my phone?
Into your browser downloads folder, which on Android is usually Downloads and on iPhone is Files.
Do Facebook reels work the same as feed videos?
Yes. Reel links resolve through the same route and normally return a single vertical MP4.
Can I save a video from a page I do not follow?
Yes, as long as the page post is public. Following has no effect on what can be fetched.
