Download Facebook Videos
Paste a link to any public Facebook video, Reel, or live recording. Works with both facebook.com and fb.watch short links.
Quick answer
A Facebook video downloader saves public videos from Facebook to your device as an MP4 file. YaliKit's downloader takes a facebook.com or fb.watch link, follows the redirect, and pulls the highest quality H.264 stream Facebook hosts, up to 1080p, for regular videos, Reels and Watch content, with no Facebook login required.
Supported Content
Why Use Facebook Video Downloader?
MPEG-DASH Adaptive Streams at Up to 1080p From Meta's CDN
Meta uses MPEG-DASH (ISO/IEC 23009-1) adaptive bitrate streaming to deliver video across its 3.07 billion monthly active users (Meta Q4 2023 earnings). Videos are stored at multiple quality tiers, typically 1080p, 720p, 480p, and 360p, with H.264 encoding for maximum device compatibility. We extract the highest-quality variant available from Facebook's CDN, which is the same file your browser would receive on a fast connection.
Facebook Reels, Meta's Fastest-Growing Format With 200 Billion Daily Plays
According to Meta's Q3 2023 earnings call, Reels reached over 200 billion plays per day across Facebook and Instagram combined. Facebook Reels use vertical video (1080 × 1920 pixels, 9:16 aspect ratio) encoded as H.264 in MP4 containers. Copy the Reel share link and download it at full resolution, including any added music or effects that were baked into the final render.
fb.watch Short URLs Resolve Through Meta's CDN Redirect
Facebook's fb.watch short URL service generates compact links for sharing videos. These 301-redirect to the canonical facebook.com video page, and our tool follows the redirect chain automatically. No need to manually expand the link, paste whatever you copied from the Facebook app or share sheet.
No Facebook Login Required for Public Content
Public Facebook videos are accessible without authentication via Facebook's OEmbed API and public graph endpoints. We never ask for or store your Facebook credentials.
Facebook Watch Shows and Creator Content
Facebook Watch hosts original shows, creator content, and live recordings. According to Meta, users spend an average of 26 minutes per day on Facebook, with video comprising over 50 percent of time spent on the platform.
Mobile Friendly Downloads
Copy links from the Facebook app on iOS or Android, paste them here in your phone's browser. The downloaded MP4 saves directly to your device's camera roll or downloads folder.
When You Need This
Backing Up Memories
That video from the family reunion posted to a relative's timeline? Download it now. Accounts get deleted, posts get removed, memories get lost.
Presentation Materials
Need a video clip for work or school? Download it instead of relying on an embed that might not load when you're presenting.
Cross-Platform Sharing
Want to share a Facebook video on WhatsApp or Discord? Download it first. Those platforms don't always handle Facebook links well.
Travel Entertainment
Long flight ahead? Download entertaining videos while you have wifi. Watch them in airplane mode.
Content Reference
Creators and marketers sometimes need to reference competitor content or viral videos. Download for analysis or as inspiration.
News Documentation
Citizen journalism often happens on Facebook. Download important videos before they get taken down or the account disappears.
How It Works
Find the Video on Facebook
Open Facebook and navigate to the video you want. This could be in your feed, on a Page, in Watch, or in Reels. The video needs to be public.
Get the Share Link
Click the Share button under the video. Select 'Copy link' from the options. On mobile, you might see 'Copy Link' directly in the share sheet.
Paste the Link Here
Drop the copied link into the input box above. We'll validate it's a real Facebook video URL and fetch the preview.
Pick Quality and Download
Choose HD for maximum quality or SD for a smaller file. Hit download and the video saves to your device.
Good to Know
Finding the Right Link
The share button on any Facebook video gives you the correct URL. Avoid copying from your browser's address bar if you're viewing from a feed - it might include extra parameters.
Privacy Restrictions
See a message about the video being unavailable? It's set to private. Only the poster can change this to make it downloadable.
Storage Considerations
HD videos can be 100MB+ for longer content. If you're low on space, the SD option cuts file size significantly while remaining watchable.
Page vs Profile Videos
Videos on public Facebook Pages are always downloadable. Profile videos depend on that person's privacy settings.
