Facebook Video Downloader
Paste a public Facebook video link to download in your browser.
The Facebook extractor supports videos, Watch, Reels, and fb.watch shares and looks for media URLs in public page data.
When Facebook exposes both progressive HD and SD MP4, the stronger candidate is preferred. Login-only, private-group, or restricted content is not supported.
How to download Facebook videos
- Open a public Facebook video and copy the share link.
- Paste the link below and click download.
- Pick a quality option (if available) and save.
Highlights
- Public video support.
- HD options when available.
- Works on mobile and desktop.
Practical download tips
Download and save flow
- For best results, paste a specific public video, post, Shorts, playlist, or collection URL rather than a profile or channel homepage.
- Use batch mode for multiple links and playlist results; queue tasks can retry and continue after interruptions.
- Set quality, format, audio-only, or mute options before parsing when you need a specific output.
- Use the platform-specific download pages when available because they explain the exact link type that works best.

FAQ
Why can I not find my Facebook file?
Direct mode saves to browser folder; queue mode requires Save after completion.
Which links work best?
Use a specific public video URL, post URL, Shorts URL, or supported playlist/collection URL. Profile pages, channel homepages, search pages, private links, and membership-only content are not reliable download targets.
Does FreeSaveVideo support playlists and batch downloads?
Yes. Supported playlist, collection, and multi-link workflows can be turned into batch tasks so users can review and save several public videos from one page.
Where are downloaded files saved?
Direct downloads are saved to the browser default download folder. Queue downloads finish inside FreeSaveVideo first, then the user clicks Save to store the file locally.
Is FreeSaveVideo only a downloader?
No. It also includes browser tools such as MP4 to MP3, audio extraction, video conversion, whiteboard recording, cross-device file transfer, Discover, and random 1v1 video chat.
Can I download private or friends-only videos?
No. Only publicly accessible videos can be downloaded.
Why does it fail sometimes?
The video may be restricted or the link expired. Try another link or retry later.
Do I need to install an app?
No. It works directly in your browser.
Can I download private content?
No. Only publicly accessible content can be downloaded.
Why is the download slow?
Network conditions and source limits can affect speed. Try again later or switch networks.
