How to download Facebook videos on any device

Facebook has been becoming increasingly popular over the last decade and is now one of the world’s most visited websites. It currently has a staggering 2.7 billion monthly active users and is the most popular social networking site. People primarily use Facebook to keep up to date with what their friends and family are up to. Facebook is a lot more than just a social networking website. Facebook video has become increasingly popular, with over 100 million hours of video being viewed every day. That’s more video than you can watch in a lifetime. It’s no wonder that many users want to share videos that they see in their news feed with their friends or upload them to other social networking websites like Instagram.

In today’s post, we will discuss a few options for downloading Facebook videos with a Facebook video downloader’s aid. Once you’ve downloaded the video, you can edit it using a Youtube converter and seamlessly post it on other social media sites like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. 

Download Facebook videos

Downloading videos off Facebook isn’t very difficult. What used to be hard has been made easy by the countless tools that have been designed for downloading Facebook videos. In today’s article, we will discuss two ways to save video using web-based tools. Many software options are available, but in my experience, they always lack some functionality.

On top of this, I’m not one for installing third-party software as they can be compromised with malware that can infect your computer. There’s really no need to install software if web-based options work.

Option 1

The first option we are going to cover is the Facebook Downloader by FBDownloader.net. This tool rocks a very easy to use interface that even an internet notice could navigate. This downloader works on all devices regardless if you’re on an iPhone, PC, or tablet. Getting started is a sinch. Just follow the steps outlined below.

Head over to Facebook, either by visiting the website or accessing it via the app.

1. Find the video you want to download and click on the “show video URL” tab.
2. Select and copy the video URL and save it to your clipboard.
3. Open up the Facebook video downloader website and insert the link into the box on the homepage.
4. Click the “Go” button and wait for the download links to be displayed.
5. Click on the download buttons corresponding to the video that you want to download.

FBDownloader will give you options to download Facebook videos in high and standard quality formats. You’re also able to download videos as audio MP3 files if you wish.

Option 2

The second option we are going to cover is the Facebook video downloader by FBOffline.net. This downloader works very much like option one; the main difference being that it provides more video download options in terms of video quality.

Much like option one, the process for downloading videos is virtually identical.

1. Find and copy the Facebook video URL for the video you want to download.
2. Open the FBOffline website and insert the URL into the box on the homepage and click continue.
3. Watch as the download links for the video are generated. Just click on the link you want to download, and it will be saved into your device’s download folder.

FBOffline allows you to save Facebook videos in high-quality 1080p, 640p, and 480p resolutions. It is also platform-independent, so you’ll enjoy the same user experience regardless of what device you might be on.

Can I download any video?

If you can view a video on Facebook, then you’re more than likely able to download it. Public videos can easily be downloaded using both downloaders mentioned above. If the video is private, then you’ll need to use a private Facebook downloader. Thankfully, FBDownloader has a private video downloader that works to save videos from private Facebook groups or from direct messaging chats. To use it you’ll just need to copy and paste the page source into the text box on the private video downloader and click download. The options for downloading the videos will soon appear.

Somebody can download Facebook videos for a variety of reasons. Maybe they want to add the video to their website, share it via email or publish it on your social media accounts. Whatever the case, using the right Facebook downloader makes the process so much easier. Stick with the downloaders that we mentioned in this article, and you won’t regret it. Remember that when you download videos off Facebook to ask the author for permission before republishing it on other social networking websites. Happy downloading!
