Save Facebook videos, Reels, and Live replays as HD MP4. Works with fb.watch, full URLs, and mobile links.
Supports public videos only.
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.
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.
Tap the three dots (⋯) on the post → Copy link. On desktop, right-click the video → Show video URL, then copy from your address bar.
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.
Choose SD or HD and tap download. The MP4 saves to your device with audio included, ready for offline viewing or editing.
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.
Open the video in the Facebook app and tap the three dots (⋯) on the post → Copy link.
Open Safari, go to snapfetchr.com, and long-press the URL bar → Paste.
Tap Fetch Video. Both fb.watch short links and full facebook.com URLs are processed automatically — pick the HD option once it appears.
Tap Download. Open Files → Downloads, share the MP4 → Save Video to land it in Camera Roll.
The post is from a private group, restricted profile, or has been deleted. Only public content can be downloaded.
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.
Facebook serves multiple resolutions; older or mobile-uploaded videos may genuinely have no HD source. We can't upscale beyond what Facebook stores.
Live streams in progress aren't downloadable. Wait until the stream ends and the replay is auto-published, then download from the replay URL.
Some Facebook Reels have orientation metadata that confuses certain players. Re-encode in any video editor (CapCut, VLC) to fix the rotation tag.
Watch tab videos are Facebook's long-form, usually horizontal content — shows, news segments, and creator uploads that often run several minutes. They tend to have a genuine HD source (720p or 1080p), which is why they're the Facebook format where quality selection actually matters. SnapFetchr probes the higher-quality progressive MP4 first and only falls back to Facebook's DASH manifest when needed, so you get the best rendition Facebook stored rather than a low-res preview.
On desktop, the reliable way to grab a Watch video's link is to right-click the player and choose Show video URL, or copy the facebook.com/watch/?v=<id> address from the bar. Page-uploaded videos sit at facebook.com/<pagename>/videos/<id> and download the same way.
Facebook Reels are the vertical 9:16 short-form clips that live at facebook.com/reel/<id>. Because Meta serves Facebook and Instagram Reels from the same content delivery network, their download quality is effectively identical — a cross-posted Reel comes down at the same resolution on either platform.
Reels are trickier to copy than Watch videos because there's no desktop 'Show video URL' on them; use the share sheet instead — open the Reel, tap the three dots, and Copy link. If a downloaded Reel happens to play sideways, that's an orientation-metadata quirk in some players, fixed by a single re-encode in CapCut or VLC.
Live broadcasts are the one Facebook format with a timing catch. While a stream is in progress there's no finalised file to download — the content is still being generated. Once the broadcast ends, Facebook publishes a replay (using a videos/live URL pattern), and from that point the replay downloads exactly like any other Watch video.
So the rule is simple: wait for the Live to finish and the replay to appear, then copy that replay's URL. This is ideal for keeping event recordings, webinars, or announcements from public Pages that don't cross-post the footage to YouTube.
The workflow is the same across devices: copy the link, paste into SnapFetchr, fetch, choose SD or HD. fb.watch short links and m.facebook.com mobile URLs are resolved automatically, so you don't need to convert anything. On iPhone the file saves via Files → Downloads → Share → Save Video; on Android and desktop it drops straight into your Downloads folder.
What never changes is the boundary: only public content is reachable. Videos in private groups, on restricted profiles, or shared as ephemeral Stories are blocked at the source. A quick test is to open the link in a logged-out incognito window — if it plays there, SnapFetchr can fetch it; if it doesn't, no tool can.
Beyond Watch, Reels, and Live, a lot of Facebook video sits on business and creator Pages at facebook.com/<pagename>/videos/<id>, and in public groups where members post clips. Both download with the same copy-link-and-fetch flow as long as the Page or group is public. The output is a standard MP4 with the original audio, ready to play offline or import into an editor.
These formats cover the most practical reasons people save Facebook video: archiving your own Page's library before deleting old posts, keeping event recordings shared in a public group, and grabbing a tutorial from a Page that never cross-posted it to YouTube. As always, the content has to be public — a video in a closed group or on a restricted profile can't be reached, while anything visible without logging in can.
