How to download Facebook videos? See here

One way to download Facebook videos is to use desktop software that is designed to download videos from various platforms, which can also work for Facebook URLs in addition to YouTube and Vimeo. However, there are alternative methods too, have a look at these.

Direct download from Facebook

Facebook offers a "Save Video" link located in the ellipsis menu beside nearly every video. However, this feature merely "saves" the video on Facebook to a designated section in your account called "Saved Videos," where you can make collections for future viewing. If the video owner deletes the content, you will no longer have access to it.

While the process of downloading a Facebook video to your computer is somewhat complicated, it is not challenging. Initially, click the three-dot ellipsis menu on the video and select "Copy link" in your browser (this option may not be available for private videos).


Next, paste the link into a new browser tab and watch as it redirects the shortened link (starting with https://fb.watch/) to a longer link that starts with https://www.facebook.com/watch/. Change the "www" to "mbasic" in the address bar, forcing the browser to load the mobile version of the page.

Then, right-click on the video, select "Open link in new tab," and in this third tab, you will see only the video. Finally, right-click on the video and select "Save video as" to download it to your PC.

Using other websites

Fdown.net lets you download videos with choices of resolutions, which is not the case in Direct Downloads.

To get a higher-quality video from Facebook, paste the URL copied by selecting "Copy Link" from the ellipsis menu. The website will analyze the content and present links to download either the "Normal Quality" version (similar to the process described above) or an "HD Quality" video.

You may click the links or right-click and choose "Save link as." In the "More Options" box, you can attempt to enforce a standard or high-definition download and even rectify any audio issues.
