Facebook video URLs come in more shapes than most platforms — full facebook.com links, shortened fb.watch links, Watch-tab links, and the newer Reels format. All of them work here as long as the video itself is public.
Facebook also frequently offers a choice between SD and HD versions of the same upload, so once a link resolves you'll usually see both options rather than a single fixed quality.
How to download
- 01Find the video on Facebook, in the app, on the Watch tab, or in a group.
- 02Click the three dots on the post and select "Copy link," or copy the fb.watch short link if that's what you were sent.
- 03Paste it into the field on this page and press Download.
- 04Pick SD or HD if both are offered, then save the file.

Available formats
- MP4 (HD)
- The higher-bitrate version, when the uploader made one available.
- MP4 (SD)
- A smaller, lower-bitrate file — often the only option for older or mobile-uploaded videos.
- Audio only (M4A)
- Extracts just the audio track, where offered, for interviews or podcast-style clips.
Troubleshooting
- "This content isn't available" error
- The video is either private, restricted to a specific audience (friends-only), or the group it was posted in isn't public. Facebook's privacy settings are enforced the same way here as they are in the app.
- fb.watch link doesn't resolve
- Short fb.watch links redirect through Facebook's servers before landing on the real video — occasionally that redirect expires. Open the link in a browser first, then copy the full facebook.com URL it lands on.
- Only SD is available, no HD option
- Not every upload has an HD version — this depends on the original upload quality and settings the uploader chose, not on anything this tool controls.

FAQ
- Can I download a video from a Facebook group?
- Only if the group itself is set to public. Content from closed or secret groups can't be accessed here, the same way it can't be viewed without joining.
- Why does the same video sometimes give two different qualities?
- Facebook transcodes most uploads into multiple bitrates for streaming. When more than one is available, both are offered so you can choose file size versus quality.
- Does this work with Facebook Watch shows and episodes?
- Yes, as long as the episode page is publicly viewable without logging in.
