How to Download Facebook Videos in HD (Free)

2025-02-15 · Facebook

Facebook gives you no native "save video" button — and the third-party browser extensions that exist often pack adware. The web-based approach is safer.

Quick guide

1. Open the Facebook video. On desktop, right-click the video and copy the page URL. On mobile, tap Share → Copy link, or use the fb.watch shortlink.
2. Open our Facebook downloader.
3. Paste the link. Choose HD if it's offered, otherwise SD.

Why is HD sometimes missing?

Facebook only encodes an HD version for uploads above a certain resolution. Older videos and many phone-recorded clips never had an HD version, so SD is the only option.
