    Facebook hides video downloads behind a wall of UI choices — a 'Save video' button that just bookmarks the post inside Facebook, a desktop right-click that returns 'Show video URL' but not the file itself. SnapFetchr's Facebook Video Downloader cuts straight through. Paste any Facebook video URL — facebook.com/watch, facebook.com/<page>/videos/<id>, fb.watch short links, m.facebook.com mobile shares, or even Facebook Reels and Live replays — and you get an SD or HD MP4 in seconds. You don't need a Facebook account, a Meta-issued access token, or a desktop helper app. Facebook serves video through a dual MP4/DASH delivery pipeline — SnapFetchr probes the higher-quality progressive MP4 first and falls back to the DASH manifest only when needed, which keeps quality predictable across Watch tab clips, Reels, and Live replays. Same flow on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac. We don't cache the resulting file on our servers and we don't log your URL.

    How to Use the Facebook Video Downloader

    1. 1

      Open the Facebook video

      Open the video in the Facebook app or on facebook.com. It needs to be from a public Page or a public group/profile post.

    2. 2

      Copy the link

      Tap the three dots (⋯) on the post → Copy link. On desktop, right-click the video → Show video URL, then copy from your address bar.

    3. 3

      Paste into SnapFetchr

      Paste the URL into SnapFetchr and click Fetch Video. We support fb.watch, fb.me, fb.gg, and m.facebook.com — no manual conversion needed.

    4. 4

      Pick SD or HD and download

      Choose SD or HD and tap download. The MP4 saves to your device with audio included, ready for offline viewing or editing.

    Watch videos, Reels, Live replays, Page videos — the four Facebook formats

    Facebook hosts more video formats than most users realize. Watch tab videos are long-form, often horizontal content from Facebook Watch — typically 720p or 1080p source. Facebook Reels are 9:16 short-form clips, identical in quality to Instagram Reels because Meta serves them from the same CDN. Live broadcasts that have ended become Live Replays — these have a slightly different URL pattern (videos/live) but download the same way. Page videos uploaded directly by businesses or creators sit at facebook.com/<pagename>/videos/<id>.

    Common use cases are practical: archiving your own Page's video library before deleting old posts, saving event recordings from public groups, downloading a tutorial from a Page that doesn't cross-post to YouTube, and grabbing news clips for personal reference. Note that Facebook Live broadcasts are typically only downloadable after the stream ends and the replay is published.

    How to download a Facebook video on iPhone

    1. 1

      Copy the link from the Facebook app

      Open the video in the Facebook app and tap the three dots (⋯) on the post → Copy link.

    2. 2

      Open SnapFetchr in Safari

      Open Safari, go to snapfetchr.com, and long-press the URL bar → Paste.

    3. 3

      Fetch and pick HD

      Tap Fetch Video. Both fb.watch short links and full facebook.com URLs are processed automatically — pick the HD option once it appears.

    4. 4

      Save to Camera Roll

      Tap Download. Open Files → Downloads, share the MP4 → Save Video to land it in Camera Roll.

    Common Problems & Fixes

    'This content isn't available right now'

    The post is from a private group, restricted profile, or has been deleted. Only public content can be downloaded.

    fb.watch link doesn't load

    Some fb.watch short links expire after the original post is removed. Open the short link in a browser to confirm — if it 404s, there's nothing to download.

    Downloaded video is low quality (240p)

    Facebook serves multiple resolutions; older or mobile-uploaded videos may genuinely have no HD source. We can't upscale beyond what Facebook stores.

    Live broadcast can't be downloaded

    Live streams in progress aren't downloadable. Wait until the stream ends and the replay is auto-published, then download from the replay URL.

    Reel downloads but plays sideways

    Some Facebook Reels have orientation metadata that confuses certain players. Re-encode in any video editor (CapCut, VLC) to fix the rotation tag.
