How to download from Facebook
Copy the post address, paste it here, save the file.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
How it works
- 1
Get the address of the post
On desktop, click the timestamp and copy what is in the address bar. In the app, use the share menu and Copy link.
- 2
Paste it and press Start
Every Facebook address shape is handled; only the fb.watch short link is not.
- 3
Save the file
One video row, at the quality the uploader posted.
Why fb.watch links are refused
Facebook hands out fb.watch short links in the share sheet, and they are deliberately not accepted here. A short link is a redirector: it says nothing about where it goes until our server follows it, and allowing a redirector inside a list of permitted sites means the list permits every site.
That is not a theoretical worry — it is the standard way a tool like this gets turned into a proxy for scanning someone else’s network. Paste the address the post itself shows and it works. These are the shapes that are accepted:
- facebook.com/watch?v=1234567890
- facebook.com/reel/1234567890
- facebook.com/pagename/videos/1234567890
- web.facebook.com and m.facebook.com, of any of the above
What is out of reach
Anything restricted to friends, to a private group, or to logged-in viewers only. This reads the open web, and a post that the open web cannot see is a post we cannot see.
Live broadcasts in progress have no finished file. Once the stream ends and Facebook publishes the replay, the replay behaves like any other video.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my link not work?
If it starts with fb.watch, open it once in a browser and copy the full facebook.com address it lands on.
Can I download from a group?
Only if the group is public. A private group needs membership, which means an account.
Does it work with reels?
Yes, facebook.com/reel/ addresses are handled the same way.
