For standard video posts
Use this page for supported public Facebook videos rather than links that point to Reels.
Facebook Video Tool
Download Supported Public Facebook Videos
ReelVideoSaver provides a browser-based way to save a compatible video from a supported public Facebook video post. Copy the original post URL, submit it in the downloader above, and use the download control if the source can be processed.
This page focuses on standard Facebook video posts. If your link points to a Reel, visit the Facebook Reels Downloader for the corresponding workflow. The source must be accessible to the service; this tool does not bypass private profiles, restricted audiences, or login requirements.
The available format, resolution, audio, and file size depend on the media Facebook makes available for the submitted video. Not every public URL is guaranteed to work, and the tool cannot recreate image detail that is missing from the source.
How to Download a Facebook Video
Submit the complete link to a public video and check the returned result.
Step 1
Copy the video link
Open the Facebook video you are authorized to save and copy its URL using Facebook's share option or the browser address bar.
Step 2
Submit the URL
Paste the complete link into the Facebook Video Downloader above and submit it using the available controls.
Step 3
Review and save the file
If processing succeeds, check the available video result and use its download control to save the compatible file.
When to Use the Facebook Video Downloader
A browser-based workflow
Submit the public video URL using a browser on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Clear source limitations
The available result depends on the source. The tool does not promise a particular resolution or recover missing video or audio data.
Which Facebook video links should you use?
Start with a video post that opens at its original Facebook URL and is accessible without private-account permissions. Posts limited to friends, restricted groups, or other audiences may not be accessible to the downloader.
Copy the link to the actual video rather than the creator's profile or a general page. If the content is a Facebook Reel, use the dedicated Reels page. Even when a post is public, successful processing depends on the media that Facebook makes available.
- Open the original video post before copying its link.
- Use a URL that points to the video, not only its profile.
- Choose the Facebook Reels Downloader for Reel links.
Understanding the returned format, quality, and audio
Facebook may deliver different versions of a video depending on the original upload and its available media streams. The format and quality of the returned result depend on the compatible source and processing options available for that particular link.
Resolution, aspect ratio, duration, and file size can vary between posts. A larger file is not necessarily sharper, and converting a file to another format cannot restore detail lost through compression.
Audio may be included when the source provides a compatible soundtrack. A silent upload or inaccessible audio stream can affect the result. If you only need the available soundtrack, use the Facebook Audio Downloader instead.
Save a Facebook video on mobile or desktop
On Android or iPhone, copy the public video URL from Facebook, open ReelVideoSaver in your browser, and submit the link. After saving the returned file, check the browser's download manager or the Files application.
On a Windows, macOS, or Linux computer, submit the complete video URL and use the download control when a result is available. Most browsers save downloaded files to Downloads unless you configured a different location.
If the browser opens the media instead of saving it immediately, check whether its built-in download or save option is available. The exact behavior depends on the browser and device.
Troubleshoot a Facebook video that will not process
A link may fail because the video was removed, its audience changed, the URL is incomplete, or Facebook temporarily changed how the media is delivered. Network interruptions and other source-access problems can also prevent processing.
Open the original URL directly and verify that it leads to the intended public video. Copy the link again from Facebook and retry. If the source remains inaccessible, the downloader may not be able to prepare a result. Do not attempt to bypass privacy or account restrictions.
- Confirm that the URL opens the correct video.
- Check that the post is still publicly accessible.
- Copy the complete URL again instead of typing it manually.
- Retry later if the source or network is temporarily unavailable.
- Use the Reels page for a Facebook Reel.
- Use the Audio page if you only need an available soundtrack.
Copyright, privacy, and permission
A public Facebook video may contain copyrighted footage, music, performances, artwork, or personal information. Being able to view or download a video does not automatically give you permission to redistribute, edit, publish, or monetize it.
Use the downloader for your own videos, authorized backups, licensed material, public-domain content, or media you are otherwise legally entitled to save. Respect the creator's rights and the privacy of people featured in the recording.
Facebook Video Downloader FAQs
How do I download a Facebook video?
Copy the public video URL, paste it into the downloader above, submit it, and use the download control if a compatible result is returned.
Can I download a private Facebook video?
No. ReelVideoSaver does not bypass private profiles, friends-only posts, restricted groups, or other access restrictions.
Is this tool for Facebook Reels?
This page focuses on standard Facebook video posts. For a Reel, use the Facebook Reels Downloader.
Will every video download in HD or MP4?
A particular resolution or result cannot be guaranteed for every link. The available format and quality depend on the compatible media Facebook makes accessible for that source.
Will the saved video have sound?
Audio may be included when a compatible soundtrack is available. Silent uploads or inaccessible audio can affect the result.
Why is my public video link failing?
The post may have been removed, restricted, or temporarily unavailable, or the copied URL may be incomplete. Check the original link, copy it again, and retry if the post remains public.
Where is the downloaded video saved?
Check your browser's Downloads folder or download manager. On mobile, also check the Files application.
Can I repost or monetize a downloaded video?
Only if you have the necessary rights, permission, or another valid legal basis. Public visibility and downloading do not automatically grant reuse or monetization rights.
