Links that identify one video
Useful addresses include a /videos/ path, a /reel/ path, a watch URL with a video id, and fb.watch short links. Copy them from Share on the video itself. A link to a group home, a profile, or a photo album is not one video.
Reels on Facebook are still Facebook videos. If the reel is public and the page returns an MP4, it saves here. You do not need a separate Facebook login on this site, and you should not paste your Facebook password anywhere on this page.
Login walls are the common failure
A video can look public when you are signed in and still be invisible to everyone else. This tool sees the page the way a logged-out visitor does. If that view is a sign-in form, there is no media URL to save. That rejection is intentional.
Private profiles, friends-only posts, secret groups, and videos limited to a country or an age gate behave the same way. Open the link in a private browser window first. If it does not play there, it will not download here.
Quality and what is not in the file
When Facebook lists more than one rendition, HD prefers the higher one. Many public videos only publish a single MP4. We do not upscale it and we do not burn in captions that were drawn by the player.
Comments, reactions, and the caption text are not part of the download. Live videos that have ended sometimes leave a VOD file and sometimes leave nothing. If the premiere never produced a public file, the link fails.
How to save a public Facebook video
Step 1
Copy the video or reel link
Open the public video, tap Share, and copy the link. fb.watch links are accepted. Skip profile and group home links.
Step 2
Confirm it plays logged out
If you are unsure, open it in a private window. Then paste it above and press Download.
Step 3
Save the MP4
Choose the listed quality and save. A login wall returns an error, not a partial file.
Public videos and reels
MP4
Public videos and reels when a file is exposed to logged-out viewers.
HD when listed
A higher rendition is used only if Facebook published one.
Rejected
Friends-only posts, private groups, and sign-in walls.
Why Facebook links fail
Why do Facebook links fail more often?
Many videos exist only for logged-in people. Those links are rejected so you do not save an empty file.
Can I download a Facebook reel?
Yes, when the reel is public and the page returns a video file.
Do you store the video?
No. It is fetched for your download and not kept as a library on this site.
Can I paste my Facebook password to unlock it?
No. This page never asks for a Facebook login.
