Facebook Video Downloader

A Facebook video downloader is an online service that captures public video files from Facebook posts, Watch pages, and shared clips so you can store them offline. Since Facebook does not offer a direct download button for most content, this tool bridges the gap by extracting the underlying MP4 file from the public URL you provide.

Our downloader works entirely in your browser. You do not need to install anything or connect your Facebook account. Just paste the video link, and the tool handles the rest.

Getting a Facebook video onto your device takes only a few seconds:

1. Open the Facebook app or website and locate the video you wish to download.
2. Click the Share button below the video and choose Copy Link.
3. Go to Online Downloader and paste the Facebook link into the text field above.
4. Press Download and let the tool fetch the video metadata.
5. Pick your preferred quality setting and save the video to your device.

This method works for videos in your News Feed, Facebook Watch, pages, and groups — as long as the content is publicly accessible.

Saved Facebook videos land in your device Downloads directory. On mobile phones, they also appear in the gallery or photos app depending on your operating system. On a desktop computer, check the Downloads folder in File Explorer on Windows or Finder on macOS. You can change the save location in your browser settings if needed.

Yes. Because Online Downloader is a pure web application, it works on every major platform: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Use any modern browser like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge, and the downloader will function the same way regardless of screen size or operating system.

Absolutely. Online Downloader does not require any personal information or Facebook account access. We do not inject ads, track your downloads, or store files on our servers. The video passes through our parser only to generate a direct download link, and the file is never retained. Only public Facebook links are supported — private posts or restricted content cannot be accessed.

Facebook videos are output as MP4 files with H.264 compression, ensuring broad compatibility with media players, video editors, and social media platforms. The audio track is encoded as AAC. You can watch downloaded Facebook videos offline on any device without needing to install additional codecs.

Desktop users can follow this quick workflow:

1. Navigate to the Facebook video in your browser and copy the URL from the address bar.
2. Alternatively, click the share icon and copy the shareable link from the popup.
3. Return to this page, paste the link into the input area, and click the download button.
4. Choose your resolution and the file will be saved to your default download location.

No extensions, no account linking, and no complicated setup — it just works.
