Facebook Video & Image Downloader

Save public Facebook videos, reels and photos — no extension needed.

How to download from Facebook

Facebook's share menu has no download option. Paste a public video, reel or photo link and the file comes back in the best quality Facebook is serving.

  1. 1

    Copy the post link

    Use the share menu, or copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

  2. 2

    Paste it here

    Pick Video, Reels or Photo and paste the link in.

  3. 3

    Save the file

    Preview it, then download.

What comes back

HD where it exists

Facebook stores several renditions of a video. The highest one available on the post is what you get.

Public posts only, by design

Anything visible without logging in can be fetched: Page posts, public profile posts, and public group content.

Friends-only posts, private groups and anything behind a login stay out of reach. That's deliberate — this tool never asks for your Facebook credentials.

One tool, plenty of uses

Keep your Page's videos

Recover creative you published but no longer have the source file for.

Competitor research

Save ads and organic videos you want to study frame by frame.

Offline playback

Take a long video with you where there's no data.

Re-edit your own footage

Pull a clip back down to cut a shorter version.

Community archives

Keep public group announcements before they scroll away.

Client handovers

Give a client the actual files that ran on their Page.

What you get

Best available quality

The highest rendition Facebook serves for that post, not a downscaled copy.

Reels supported

Vertical reels work in the same box as regular videos.

No extension

Nothing to install. It runs in a normal browser tab.

No account

You never sign in, and no Facebook session is used.

Where the limits are

  • Only public content works — private and friends-only posts can't be reached.
  • Facebook re-encodes uploads, so the file you get is Facebook's version, not the original camera file.
  • Live videos can only be fetched once the replay has finished processing.

Rights and fair use

Downloading public video for personal use is generally accepted. The rights stay with whoever posted it.

Commercial reuse, re-uploading, or passing someone's video off as your own needs their permission.
