Download Facebook Video
Want to download a Facebook video to your phone or computer? There's no built-in way — Facebook keeps videos streaming-only. This free tool is the shortcut: paste the video link, and seconds later you have the MP4 saved locally in full HD.
It's the fastest method because there's nothing to install. No desktop software, no browser extension reading your data, no “video downloader” app harvesting your contacts. The whole thing is one web page that fetches the public video file Facebook already serves to your browser.
Use it to archive videos you love, save tutorials to watch offline, or keep copies of your own uploads. Every download is the original file at the best quality Facebook hosts — usually 720p or 1080p with sound.
By using this tool you agree to our Terms of Service — download only content you have the right to save.

Frequently asked questions
What's the fastest way to download a Facebook video?+
Copy the link (Share → Copy link), paste it into the box above, and hit Download. No software to install makes this the fastest method — about 30 seconds end to end.
Can I download a Facebook video to my iPhone?+
Yes. Paste the link in Safari, tap download, then use the Share menu → “Save to Files” or “Save Video” to keep it in your Photos library.
Why can't I download directly from Facebook?+
Facebook intentionally offers no download button — videos are streaming-only to keep you in the app. Third-party tools like this one fetch the same public video file your browser loads when you watch.
Will downloading work for Facebook Live replays?+
Yes, once the live stream has ended and the replay is posted as a regular public video, it downloads like any other Facebook video.
Does the downloader keep my links private?+
Links are processed to fetch your video and held only in a short-lived cache for abuse prevention. We never ask for your Facebook login.
Can I download videos from Facebook groups?+
Public groups, yes — paste the video link as normal. Private or closed groups are protected by Facebook and can't be downloaded by any legitimate tool.
To download a Facebook video you don't need to be technical — if you can copy a link, you can save the video. That's the entire skill requirement.
Need the same for other apps? Our Instagram video downloader and TikTok video downloader work exactly the same way.
