Frequently asked questions
How do I download a Facebook video?
Open the video on Facebook, use Copy link (from the three-dots menu or the share button), paste it in the box above and press Download. Pick HD or SD and the file opens so you can save it.
Can I download Facebook reels and stories too?
Yes for public reels and page stories. Private stories (visible only to friends/followers) cannot be downloaded by any website, because they need a logged-in session — use the PAYATE Media Saver extension for those.
Can I download private Facebook videos?
No. This tool only works with public videos, or ones you have permission to view without logging in. Private videos require a login, which a website cannot do — the browser extension handles those.
What quality and format do I get?
Videos come as MP4, which plays on almost any device, usually in HD (720p) and SD (480p) options when both are available.
Is it free, and is my data safe?
It is free with no registration. Nothing you download is stored on our side; the link is fetched in real time and the video is saved straight to your device.
Is it legal to download Facebook videos?
Downloading videos for personal use is generally fine, but respect copyright — do not redistribute someone else’s video without permission.
