From Facebook post to downloaded video
- Open the individual video and copy its link from the Share or post menu.
- Paste the complete address into the Facebook downloader and select Download.
- Choose the available quality you want, checking that the result includes audio.
No app installation or DownVid account is needed for this browser-based workflow.
Video posts, Watch, and short links
Use a link to one video, including a video post, a Watch video, a Reel, or an fb.watch share URL. A Facebook profile or general Watch feed is not a specific video. Keep short links intact so they can resolve to their destination.
Choose SD or HD based on the job
If more than one quality appears, a smaller rendition uses less storage and is easier to send; a larger one retains more picture detail. The result list reflects the source, so HD is not guaranteed for every upload.
Select video with audio for a complete clip. A high-resolution video-only result is not the same as a combined file. Keep the page open while any preparation is in progress.
When Facebook opens a different page
If a share link leads to a feed or fails to resolve, open the intended video in your browser and copy its final address. A video visible inside your account may still be limited to friends or a group; this service does not bypass those restrictions.
Once the download finishes, locate it in your browser’s Downloads list. Play a short section and seek forward to check sound before moving the file into a gallery or editor.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use an fb.watch link?
Yes. Paste the complete link so it can resolve to the Facebook video. If it fails, open the video and copy its full browser address.
Is a Watch feed link enough?
No. Open one video from the feed and copy that video's link.
Can I download a friends-only or private-group video?
This workflow uses publicly accessible links. It does not bypass friends-only, group, or account restrictions.
Why is HD not listed for my Facebook video?
The available qualities depend on the media Facebook supplies for that post. Choose from the returned options.
Does the highest quality include sound?
Not necessarily. Check for video with audio rather than choosing by resolution alone.
