Facebook public video downloader
Public videos need only a link. Paste it on the Public tab and the tool fetches every available quality. This covers posts, pages, profiles and groups that are set to public, and it works without any login on your side.
How to download private Facebook videos
A server can never log in as you, so private videos use the page-source method. Open the video in your own logged-in browser, view the page source, copy everything and paste it into the Private tab. The tool reads the video address inside that text and returns the files. Nothing is stored and your login never leaves your device.
Privacy and fair use
Only download private videos that you own or that were shared with you for saving. Friends-only clips, private group content and messages carry privacy expectations, so always get consent before copying or sharing someone else's video.
How to use the Facebook Public & Private Video Downloader
- Open the video on Facebook, tap Share and choose Copy link.
- Paste the link into the box at the top of this page, or press the Paste button.
- Press Download, wait a moment while the formats load, then pick the quality you want and save the file.
The whole process takes a few seconds and works the same way on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac. You do not need to install an app, create an account or sign in, and the Facebook Public & Private Video Downloader never asks for your Facebook password. If a link fails to load, check that the video is public and that you copied the full address.

Tips for the best results
On mobile, copy the link from the Share menu instead of the browser address bar; shortened fb.watch links work perfectly. If the video is very long, give the server a little extra time to read it. Clear your clipboard between downloads, and if a particular video refuses to load, try again in a few minutes or use the page-source method on our Private Video tool. Keeping your browser updated also avoids most copy and paste problems.
Use it responsibly
Videos on Facebook belong to their creators. Use the Facebook Public & Private Video Downloader only for content you own, content you have permission to save, or material that is clearly free to share, and respect copyright and each creator's privacy. Saved clips should be for personal, offline viewing such as watching on a flight, keeping family memories or archiving your own uploads. This website is independent and is not affiliated with Facebook or Meta.
Supported links and formats
The Facebook Public & Private Video Downloader accepts links from facebook.com, m.facebook.com, web.facebook.com, mbasic.facebook.com and the short fb.watch domain, including video, watch, reel and share URLs. Downloads are delivered as MP4 video, with separate audio and photo options where Facebook provides them. If you are unsure which address to paste, copy it from the Share menu of the post. Results depend on what Facebook makes available at the time, so quality choices can differ from one video to another.
