Why Choose Our Facebook Video Downloader?
In fact, there are more than 2 billion people who use Facebook every day, sharing millions of videos every hour, but Facebook doesn't make it easy to download videos to watch offline. It's not their business model. That's where we come in with our Facebook Video Downloader to help you solve this problem.
1. Lightning Fast and Ultra Intuitive
Our video downloader is designed for everyone, from beginners to more advanced geeks. You just have to copy the link from any Facebook video and paste it into our software. You choose the video quality or by default it will keep the best quality and you click the download button, that's it.
There are no complicated steps or specific technical knowledge required or difficult configurations. The entire download process takes well under 30 seconds for most videos, depending obviously on the quality of your internet connection.
Compared to browser extensions that can slow down either Chrome or Firefox or browsers in general, our standalone Windows application works independently to ensure maximum speed and stability without experiencing browser crashes or suffering from unwanted pop-ups or ads that invade you or limitations inherent to browser extensions or online downloaders.
2. Premium Quality, Always Free
We believe that the download quality of your videos should be accessible in the best quality for everyone. That's why even the free download that is offered to test the software unlimited in time allows you to download all possible video qualities and formats, so 4K resolution or 144p for the smallest resolutions for smartphones.
When many of our competitors limit free users to lower quality like 480p or 720p, we give you the possibility to access even for free the best possible quality, including Full HD 1080p and 4K when it's obviously available on the source video.
All videos are saved in MP4 format which is the most compatible video codec with all latest generation devices, whether your phone, your smart TV, tablets. Don't worry about format or codec compatibility because it doesn't require special software to watch the videos you've downloaded. In all modern devices, MP4 is widely supported.
3. Multi-Platform Compatibility
Whether you're on Windows 10 or 11 or Linux or macOS, we are developing the software on macOS, however it works very well currently on Windows. On Windows 10 or the latest Windows 11 licenses, our license allows you to be installed on several different computers within a limit of three computers and keeps your video download history absolutely private on all your devices.
The installation process is quick and effortless. Our small installer automatically detects your system configuration and installs everything necessary in less than two minutes. You don't need to read the manual or install particular plugins, no complicated configuration, you just have to download the software installer and follow the standard installation process simply.
Supported Facebook Video Types
So our Facebook Video Downloader is not just limited to standard Facebook posts. We also support all types of video content on Facebook, namely classic videos first.
Classic Facebook Videos
You download your videos from any Facebook page, from a personal profile or from a public post. If a video is posted by a friend, a viral clip from a celebrity or educational content from a brand, our software allows you to download it simply by copying the URL from any facebook.com/watch or facebook username video page. You take the link, you paste it into our downloader and you start the download.
Facebook Reels
For Facebook Reels, Facebook Reels are short videos that are somewhat similar to TikTok or Instagram content. Our software allows full support for downloading these Reels in original quality. You can save your favorite little clips for offline use, you can reshare them differently, whether to create compilations or keep content that inspires you to create others without needing an internet connection.
FB.watch Links
FB.watch links are short URLs that are fully supported. When you have friends who share videos using these compact URLs, you can download them as easily as a traditional video with a standard link. Our software automatically detects the short link and retrieves the original link of the video to download it.
Facebook Mobile Links
Facebook mobile links, m.facebook.com work perfectly as well. Whether you're browsing Facebook from your smartphone and want to download a video link later on your computer, you copy this link somewhere and then you paste it into the software which will take care, as in other cases, of retrieving mobile Facebook URL links without problem and you can download the content that interests you.
Video Quality Options - From 4K to 144p
If a default file size doesn't necessarily correspond to your need, so we offer the possibility to download in the resolution that interests you. So there are several video qualities available.
Premium Resolutions
You already have premium resolutions, so the famous 4K 2160p. It's the standard ultra high definition that's perfect for watching on large screens like for example your 4K televisions. You can download in Full HD 1080p too, so a very clean resolution on most large Full HD screens. It's sufficient in almost all cases. Or you can also download in HD 720p, a high definition in correct quality that allows you to preserve disk space and keep an image quality that remains quite correct overall.
Standard and Optimized Resolutions
In standard resolutions, you have 480p, so which is really used and perfect for everything that is mobile display or really if you need to save your disk space. And after 240 to 144p, so it's really ultra compressed. It's perfect for slow internet connections, even if it's little or not used at all today. After that can also be in the case where the video doesn't interest you so much and only the audio content might interest you.
Automatic Selection of Best Quality
Anyway, you have automatic selection of the best available quality. You don't want to manually choose the output format, don't worry, automatically the best available format is downloaded by default. Which allows you after if you want to be able to convert it to a lower format. Which ensures you in fact the fact of being able to think about it, always have the best possible video quality without needing to check the specifications of the source video you wanted to download.
Universal MP4 Format
As we said a little earlier, all videos are downloaded in MP4 format, which ensures universal compatibility with the majority of modern devices from the last decade. The MP4 video format is supported by all video players on the planet, whether VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player, Apple QuickTime obviously, without particular effort or without installation for you of specific software to watch your videos.
So you can easily transfer the MP4 files you've downloaded to your smartphone, a USB key, a tablet or an SD card to watch it on a portable device without worrying about having to convert the video to another format. MP4 is widely supported.
Batch Download - Save Time
The Batch Download, which allows you to save time when downloading many videos. If you need to download many videos at once, no problem, you add the video links as you go in the download list and then you click download and gradually it will download all the videos that are added in the download list.
How Batch Download Works
You can also add with Batch a list of URLs that you will have copy-pasted in a text file or that kind of thing. After our intelligent download system from your list allows you to stay organized and efficient. After if you have a download that fails for any reason, whether it's a network interruption, an invalid link, etc. The software automatically continues with the next video in the list and then you can retest downloading the video maybe with other options, maybe being behind a VPN if your video is geo-restricted or that kind of thing.
Perfect for Playlists and Collections
So if you want to download a complete playlist or a collection of videos from your favorite page, Batch download makes it really easy. You copy all the video links and you paste them into the Batch Downloader and then the software does the work and you can focus on the other tasks you have to do.
You can easily download more than 50 videos simultaneously without any performance degradation. We specify though, videos are downloaded one after the other to avoid getting you banned and making you perceived as being a robot.
Advanced Features for a Better Experience
Pause and Resume Download
Advanced options for a better experience, pause and then resume download. It happens if sometimes you simply have your internet connection that drops or if you need to preserve your bandwidth for another use, a video call or whatever, which is more important than downloading your Facebook videos, you can simply pause during your downloads for example of your 4K videos and finish them later.
Our software supports pause and resume of all your downloads. So you pause your downloads, the software saves the progress and you resume it at any time when you open the application and you resume the download where you left it. This way you don't waste your bandwidth and you don't waste your time.
Real-Time Progress Monitoring
You can see real-time progress, real-time progress monitoring, watch your video downloads in real time with progress indicators, the completion percentage, so you know exactly how many percent of the video has been downloaded, the current download speed, you also have the estimated remaining time for the download to be effective and you also have the current size of the downloaded file.
It's transparent like that, you know everything that's happening. You can see live which downloads are active, which ones are still in the download list, those that are completed and those that have possibly encountered errors.
Complete Download History
The complete download history, our software allows you to have a complete download history for all the videos you have saved. This archive obviously includes the URL by which you downloaded the video, the file name and location on the computer, the date and time of download, the video quality and its size and the download status, if it was completed completely, if it failed or if it was canceled.
You can access your history anytime to find a video that you might have accidentally deleted or find a video that you downloaded a few weeks or months ago. You can reshare these URLs possibly elsewhere and you can keep track of what you've downloaded in your personal video library.
But obviously you can keep control of your history, at any time you can clear it when you close the software or you can delete it at any time, the choice is in your hands.
Quick Actions on Downloaded Videos
Quick actions on downloaded videos. As soon as a video is finished downloading, you immediately have access to several possible actions.
Open Folder: Either you can open the folder that contains this video. This opens the destination folder, whether you're on Windows or other. It's perfect when you want to directly move the video to another location or possibly rename it if it doesn't suit you.
Play Video: You can also, as soon as the video is downloaded, launch playback directly. This will be launched with the default player of your system, which can be VLC, Windows Media Player, QuickTime or another of your choice. You can immediately start watching the video you downloaded without being forced to navigate through your folders.
Copy Path: You can also copy the link with which you downloaded the video to your clipboard. This is useful when you want to reshare it to someone else or keep the reference somewhere in a document or open it in new software.
Remove from List: You can also remove the file from the list, clean up the fact that you downloaded this file in your history or delete the video and history.
Advanced Deletion Options
So you have advanced deletion options when you want to delete a video. In fact, you have three options.
Remove from List: Either you remove it from the list, it just removes it from your current history, but it keeps the file intact that was downloaded in your download directory.
Send to Trash: You can send it to trash to delete it securely and use your trash on Windows or Mac OS trash afterwards. You can restore the video later if you change your mind. It's convenient when you want to avoid accidental deletions.
Permanent Deletion: You can also choose permanent deletion. At that point, it completely deletes the video file from your computer without going through the trash. That's when you're absolutely certain you no longer need the video and want to free up disk space. And then obviously, it also deletes the video from the download history.
Quick and Simple Installation
Lightning-fast installation. From the moment you've downloaded our Facebook Video Downloader, it's incredibly simple. At the installation process level, you don't have anything very complicated to do and it doesn't require particular technical skills.
Installation in Three Steps
First step, download the software by clicking the button on your right or at the bottom of the page. So this allows you to download the installer for your environment. It's a small file that's downloaded in a few seconds, a bit more on slow connections.

To test, you don't need any registration, any email validation, any license key to test the free version. You're ready to download from the moment the installation is finished.
System Requirements
At the system requirements level, for now Windows 10, Windows 11, the software works on most installations. We don't need a lot of memory to function. So a traditional desktop PC should amply suffice to accomplish the task assigned to downloading videos on Facebook without any problem.
It won't slow down your computer or consume excessive processor or software resources during downloads. Even on old computers, performance remains very correct.

Security and privacy first. Security and privacy are our philosophy. We built our Facebook Video Downloader at enterprise level respecting best practices and keeping in mind a strict philosophy of privacy preservation.

Legal Aspects and Copyright
Legal aspects and copyright. Is downloading Facebook videos legal? For personal use, yes. Facebook's terms allow downloading personal videos for personal and non-commercial use. Our software is designed specifically for archival use and private copying for offline viewing of content.
At the level of considerations concerning copyrights, video rights, our software is a tool, not an encouragement to violate copyright laws. Users are responsible for ensuring they have the right to download any video.
We recommend downloading only:
- Videos you created yourself
- Videos where creators have given their permission
- A public domain or if the video is public domain or creative commons
- Videos for educational use with responsible use
Never use videos you've downloaded for commercial use, redistribution or activity that would contravene intellectual property rights. Respect creators and download only videos you legitimately have the right to archive.
Why Choose a Desktop Application and Not Other Alternatives?
Desktop Application vs Browser Extension
So desktop application versus browser extension comparison. So browser extensions whether for Chrome, Firefox, it seems pretty good but there are still some small limitations particularly in terms of sometimes performance because it will slow down your browser in its entirety by obviously consuming more hardware resources like RAM or processor when you download videos, which can occasionally cause browser crashes or what we call freezes or conflicts with other extensions.
There are obviously also security risks. Browser extensions often need excessive permissions from all sites you visit, which allows them to read your browser history, permissions to modify pages. You should know that many extensions still track your activity and resell data to advertisers.
Then there can also be functions that are limited particularly often in terms of video quality that you can download. It doesn't support all options, batch downloading, it lacks small advanced features.
The advantage is that our desktop software avoids all these problems, it's fast, more secure, more powerful and it's completely independent of your web browser.
Desktop Application vs Online Download Site
Now if we have to compare desktop application versus online download site, it's a little bit the same concept but online video downloaders without installation, you just have to paste a URL to download, it seems really interesting. But often if it's free it's because you are the product and so you often face either aggressive advertising with pop-ups or download buttons, finally fake download buttons.
You click on the wrong button, it opens an advertising window or it downloads unwanted software for you. In short, it's a bit annoying and then anyway it remains a nightmare for your privacy because as soon as you paste the URL of a Facebook video into an online downloader, in fact you send the link to a server whose implications you don't control who knows exactly which video you download, you watch your browsing habits, become data that is easy to analyze and sell.
And then you are often limited in the quantities you can download with online downloaders that compress videos during the download process also reducing their quality. But in fact often this quality is degraded and downloads end up slowed down.
Our desktop application provides you with an ad-free experience with direct downloads in maximum quality that preserves the original quality.
