Supported Facebook links
DownReels accepts public Facebook watch links (facebook.com/watch/?v=...), direct video links (facebook.com/.../videos/...), Facebook Reels (facebook.com/reel/...), and Facebook mobile share links (fb.com/share/v/...).
Only public media can be analyzed. Posts in private groups, posts shared with friends-only privacy, and videos requiring a personal login cannot be prepared.
How to download a Facebook video or Reel
Step 1: On Facebook, click the 'Share' button on the video or Reel and choose 'Copy link'.
Step 2: Paste the link into the downloader above and click 'Get video'. DownReels resolves the video ID and identifies available SD and HD qualities.
Step 3: Select your preferred quality and click 'Download'. When ready, click 'Download video' to store the MP4 on your device.
SD versus HD qualities on Facebook
Facebook typically encodes uploaded videos into Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) MP4 streams. DownReels inspects the source streams to deliver verified H.264 video with AAC audio.
If a video uploader uploaded a low-resolution clip, only SD quality may be available from Facebook's servers.
Exporting your personal Facebook data
For creators and account owners, Meta provides an official 'Download Your Information' archive tool in the Meta Accounts Center, which lets you download all videos and photos you have posted.
Use DownReels only for content you own or have explicit permission to save.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download Facebook Reels?
Yes. DownReels accepts public Facebook Reel URLs and share links, preparing them as standard MP4 video files.
Can I download private Facebook videos or group posts?
No. DownReels never accesses private Facebook accounts, private groups, or restricted posts. Only public videos can be prepared.
What video format does the Facebook downloader provide?
Facebook downloads are prepared as MP4 files encoded with H.264 video and AAC audio for broad compatibility.
Why did my Facebook link return an error?
The video may be set to private, shared in a closed group, region-restricted, or removed by the uploader. Verify that the link opens publicly in a private browser window.
