Facebook Video Downloader

Paste a public Facebook video or Reel link, pick an available MP4 quality, and download. Free, no sign-in.

What is a Facebook video downloader?

A Facebook video downloader (often called FB to MP4) finds the progressive MP4 files Facebook already serves for a public video, Reel, or completed Live recording, then lets you save one quality to your device. Private, deleted, age-gated, and login-only posts cannot be fetched. The tool does not raise resolution beyond what the source provides.

What you can do

Paste one public link and save an available MP4.
  1. Public videos and Reels: Works with supported public Facebook video, Reel, watch, and completed Live links when the page exposes progressive MP4 URLs.

  2. Choose a quality: When HD and SD variants are available, pick the one you need. Formats and resolutions depend on the source.

  3. Save without re-encoding: Download the source MP4 Facebook already hosts. Sound depends on the original file; this tool does not add a watermark.

  4. No account required: Open the page, paste a link, and download in the browser. There is no sign-in wall.

How to download Facebook videos as MP4

Three steps from a public post link to a saved file.
  1. Paste the Facebook URL

    In Facebook, open the video or Reel, use Share or the post menu to copy its link, then paste it above.

  2. Find its video links

    Choose Find videos. The resolver reads the public page and lists available MP4 qualities.

  3. Choose and download

    Pick an available quality and choose Download MP4. On a phone, check the browser Downloads list or the video’s save/share menu if it opens in a new tab.

Tips before you start

Limits and habits that keep downloads reliable.
  • 01

    Use a public link

    Friends-only, group-only, and login walls cannot be resolved. Copy the share link from a post you can open while signed out.

  • 02

    Links expire

    Resolved media URLs are temporary. Find the video again if a download stops working.

  • 03

    Live streams

    Ongoing Live streams are not downloadable here. Completed Live recordings may work when Facebook still serves an MP4.

  • 04

    Permission matters

    Download only content you own or have permission to save. Respect the creator’s rights and Facebook’s terms.

Technical details

How a Facebook link becomes an MP4 on your device.
Public page lookup
The server fetches the public Facebook page HTML and reads progressive MP4 fields such as browser_native_hd_url and browser_native_sd_url.
Optional download gateway
If the page scrape fails and a Cobalt-compatible gateway is configured, the tool can fall back to that resolver.
Proxied download
Download MP4 streams the chosen CDN URL through our allowlisted media proxy so the browser receives an attachment response.
Size cap
Remote media downloads are capped at 50 MB per file.
