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?
What you can do
Public videos and Reels: Works with supported public Facebook video, Reel, watch, and completed Live links when the page exposes progressive MP4 URLs.
Choose a quality: When HD and SD variants are available, pick the one you need. Formats and resolutions depend on the source.
Save without re-encoding: Download the source MP4 Facebook already hosts. Sound depends on the original file; this tool does not add a watermark.
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
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.
Find its video links
Choose Find videos. The resolver reads the public page and lists available MP4 qualities.
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
- 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.
When to use it
Archive your own public Reel
Save a copy of a Reel or Page video you published when Facebook’s in-app save is awkward.
Reuse a clip you have rights to
Grab an available MP4 quality for editing when you already have permission to use the footage.
Move FB video into another editor
Download MP4, then open it in a trimmer, converter, or GIF tool such as Video to GIF.

Technical details
- 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.
