Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know

Still have questions? Here are detailed answers to the most common ones.

On desktop: navigate to the video, click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the post, and select "Copy link." On mobile: tap the Share button and choose "Copy link." You can also copy the URL directly from the browser's address bar when watching the video full-screen on desktop.
Yes! FB Downloader supports Facebook Reels, Watch videos, regular post videos, and public group videos. Note that Facebook Stories expire after 24 hours, so the link must be active when you try to download. Private or friends-only Stories cannot be downloaded.
The most common reasons are: (1) The video is private or restricted — it must be set to "Public." (2) The URL was copied incorrectly — try again using the Share → Copy link method. (3) The video may have been removed by the original poster. (4) Make sure you're pasting a facebook.com or fb.watch link, not a link to a photo or post without video.
On iPhone: after clicking Download, tap and hold the video preview and select "Download linked file" or use the share sheet to save to your Files app. On Android: tap the Download button and the file will save to your Downloads folder automatically. You can then find it in your Files or Gallery app.
SD (Standard Definition) is typically 480p — smaller file size, faster download, good for sharing. HD (High Definition) is 720p or 1080p — larger file size, crystal-clear quality, better for viewing on big screens. We recommend HD for any video you plan to keep long-term. Availability depends on the original upload quality.
Absolutely. We do not require any login, we never store your video URLs, and we don't install anything on your device. Our site uses HTTPS encryption. We also never add tracking software or malware to downloaded files. Your privacy is fully respected.
