Facebook hides its download options, but saving a public video, Reel or Watch clip is straightforward. Here's how to download Facebook videos in HD on any device.
Step by step
- Open the video, tap the three dots or Share, and Copy link.
- Paste it into our Facebook video downloader.
- Choose HD or SD and download the MP4.
A note on quality and playback
We always aim for an H.264 MP4, which plays on every device including iPhone — some Facebook HD streams use VP9, which iOS can't play, so we prefer the universally compatible version automatically.
What about private videos?
Only public Facebook videos can be downloaded. Private group or friends-only videos require being logged in and aren't accessible.
