Facebook downloader
Download Facebook videos online, free
LoveConverts' Facebook Video Downloader saves Facebook videos and Reels as MP4 files directly to your device — paste the video's link, choose a quality, and download it. It's free, requires no signup, and works entirely in your browser.
The basics
What is a Facebook video downloader?
A Facebook Video Downloader converts a Facebook video's link into an MP4 file you can save locally, instead of only being able to watch it inside Facebook or the Facebook app. Facebook doesn't offer a built-in save-to-device option for most videos, so a separate tool is what bridges that gap for content you're allowed to download.
The process works from a link, not a search: you find the specific video on Facebook, copy its URL, and paste that URL into LoveConverts. The tool identifies the video tied to that link and prepares an MP4 version at the quality you select.
Under the hood
How the Facebook downloader works
The workflow has four moving parts: a Facebook video link, the downloader itself, a quality selection, and the resulting MP4 file.
You supply the link — copied directly from Facebook using its own share or options menu. LoveConverts reads that link, locates the corresponding video, and generates a download at Best Available, 720p, 480p or 360p, depending on what you select. Once processing finishes, clicking Download MP4 saves the file to your device.
Nothing about this requires installing software or creating an account. The entire exchange — pasting a link and receiving a file — happens on this page in your browser.
Content types
What Facebook videos can you download?
The downloader supports two main categories of content.
Facebook videos
Standard video posts, including those shared to a Timeline, a Page, or a Group, as well as videos found through Facebook Watch, provided you can copy a supported link to that specific video.
Facebook Reels
Short-form vertical videos, downloaded using Facebook's dedicated Reel link format. The downloaded file preserves the original vertical orientation.
Quality
Facebook video download quality
What quality options does the Facebook Video Downloader offer? Best Available, 720p, 480p and 360p.
Selecting Best Available retrieves the highest quality version of that specific video that Facebook provides. This generally offers the sharpest detail, but it also produces the largest file size of the available options.
Choosing 720p, 480p or 360p instead trades some visual detail for a smaller file — useful when you're downloading on a slower connection, working with limited storage, or simply don't need full resolution for how you plan to use the video. Not every video is available at every resolution; quality depends on how the video was originally uploaded to Facebook, so Best Available for one video may look different from Best Available for another.
How to use it
How to download a Facebook video
- 1Find the video on Facebook. This can be a video post on a Timeline, a Page, a Group, or one found through Facebook Watch.
- 2Click the three dots (⋯) and select Copy Link. This generates the correct URL for that specific video.
- 3Paste the URL into the field above. The downloader reads the link to locate the video.
- 4Select a quality option. Choose Best Available, 720p, 480p or 360p.
- 5Click Get Download Link. LoveConverts processes the video for download.
- 6Click Download MP4. The file saves directly to your device.
Reels
How to download Facebook Reels
Reels use a distinct link format — facebook.com/reel/ — rather than the standard video URL. Open the Reel, tap the three dots, and select Copy Link to generate this format.
From there, the process matches standard videos: paste the Reel link into the field above, choose a quality option, click Get Download Link, then Download MP4. Because Reels are vertical by default, the downloaded file preserves that original orientation.
Watch
How to download Facebook Watch videos
Facebook Watch videos are downloaded the same way as other Facebook video content, as long as you can copy a working link to the specific video. Depending on how you're viewing it, that link may appear as a standard facebook.com/video/ or facebook.com/watch/?v= URL, or as a shortened fb.watch link when shared.
Paste whichever format Facebook gives you into the downloader — both are recognized. Not every video surfaced through Facebook Watch will necessarily be downloadable if it isn't publicly accessible through one of these link formats.
Links
Supported Facebook URL formats
The downloader recognizes four Facebook link formats:
https://www.facebook.com/video/1234567890A standard video post link.
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1234567890A Facebook Watch video link.
https://fb.watch/XXXXXXXXXX/Facebook's shortened share link, commonly generated when sharing a video.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/XXXXXXXXXXA Facebook Reel link.
Using Facebook's own Copy Link option matters here, since these URLs include specific identifiers tied to that individual video. A link copied from your browser's address bar, or one retyped by hand, may be missing pieces the downloader needs to locate the correct video.
On a phone
Facebook video downloader on mobile
On mobile, open the video inside the Facebook app, tap the three dots, and select Copy Link. Then switch to your phone's browser, open LoveConverts' Facebook Video Downloader, and paste the link into the field above.
From there, the process is the same as desktop: choose a quality option, tap Get Download Link, then Download MP4. There's no separate mobile app involved — you're moving from the Facebook app to your existing mobile browser.
On a computer
Facebook video downloader on desktop
On desktop, open the video on facebook.com, click the three-dot menu, and select Copy Link. Paste that link into LoveConverts in the same browser tab, or paste in a link that was copied from the Facebook mobile app instead.
Once the link is in the field, select your quality option, click Get Download Link, then Download MP4 to save the video to your computer.
No account
Facebook video downloader without signup
No account or login is required to use LoveConverts' Facebook Video Downloader. You paste a link and download a file — there's no registration step, and no profile created to track your activity on the tool.
The exchange is straightforward: you provide a link, the tool processes that specific video, and you receive a file. Nothing more is required from you to complete a download, so there's no login or profile tied to the videos you save.
Limitations
What the Facebook downloader cannot do
A few practical limits are worth understanding before using the tool.
A working Facebook link is required
The downloader depends entirely on a correctly copied URL — without one, it has nothing to process.
Private or restricted content isn't supported
If a video isn't publicly accessible through one of the URL formats above, it can't be retrieved.
Available quality depends on the source video
Best Available reflects whatever quality Facebook actually provides for that specific upload — it doesn't upscale a lower-resolution original.
Only the content types listed above are supported
Standard videos, Facebook Watch videos and Reels are covered; other Facebook content types aren't part of the tool's current functionality.
Permitted use
Facebook video downloading and copyright
LoveConverts' Facebook Video Downloader is intended for personal use, limited to content you own or have the rights to use — the same notice appears directly above the downloader on this page, alongside a link to the full Terms of Service.
Downloading a video doesn't transfer ownership or copyright to the person downloading it. The original creator or rights holder retains those rights whether or not their video has been saved elsewhere. If you're downloading content that isn't yours, keeping it for personal viewing is different from reusing, reposting, or redistributing it — the latter can raise copyright and Facebook Terms of Service concerns, so permission from the rights holder matters once your use goes beyond a personal copy.

It depends on the video and how you use it. Downloading your own content, or content you have permission to use, is generally fine.

Can I download someone else's Facebook video?
The downloader can retrieve any publicly accessible video, but reusing someone else's content beyond personal viewing may require their permission under copyright and Facebook's Terms of Service.
Does the downloader work with fb.watch links?
Yes, shortened fb.watch links — commonly generated when sharing a video — are one of the supported URL formats.
