How to download a Facebook video: copy the link from Facebook, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Download. You get an MP4 video in a few seconds. It is free, needs no login and adds no watermark.
Facebook rarely gives you a download button, so a good video can be gone from your feed before you get to watch it again. ReelGrab saves public Facebook videos and reels as MP4 files from their link, in HD and SD when both exist. You do not need to log in, install an app or share a password, and nothing is added to the file. Private groups, friends-only posts and stories stay private, because they are not visible to a public tool. Open the video, copy its link, paste it here and pick the quality that suits your phone, your storage and your connection.
What it supports: Public Facebook videos and reels in HD or SD. Group, friends-only and private videos are not available.

Good to know
What to know about Facebook links and files
Links that work
Links look like facebook.com/watch/?v=, facebook.com/reel/, facebook.com/name/videos/ or a short fb.watch address.
What is supported
Public videos and reels only. Group posts, friends-only posts and stories need a login, so they are not available.
Quality to expect
HD and SD buttons appear when Facebook publishes both. A single button means only one version exists.
Common reasons it fails
Videos that ask you to log in when opened in a private window, and videos limited by country or age, cannot be saved.
Formats
Formats you can save

How to download a Facebook video?
Copy the link from Facebook, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press the button. You get a preview and a Download button in a few seconds. It is free and needs no account.
Can I download a Facebook video without watermark?
Yes. Facebook does not add a watermark to the video file and neither do we. You get the clean MP4 that plays in the app, in HD or SD.
Do I need an FB video downloader app?
No. It works in your phone or computer browser. For one-tap access, use the Add to home screen button on this page. It opens like an app, with no APK and no store download.
Is this a free online video downloader app?
It is a free online downloader that runs in your browser, so you do not need an app or an APK. For one-tap access, add the site to your home screen from the install card on this page.
Do I have to install anything?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so it works the same on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac and Linux.
What quality will I get?
We return the best file the platform makes available for that post. That is often 1080p for video and a full-size JPG for photos. We never upscale or re-compress.
Can I download from private accounts?
No. Only public posts are supported. We never ask for, and you should never share, your login details.
Where does the file end up?
On desktop it goes to your Downloads folder. On phones it lands in Downloads or Files; from there you can move it to your gallery or camera roll.
Do you keep copies of what I download?
No. Files pass through as a stream and nothing is saved on our servers.
Why does a video fail sometimes?
The post may be private, deleted, age-restricted, or the platform may be temporarily rate-limiting requests. Wait a moment and try again, or report the link to us.
