How to Download Facebook Videos
Facebook does not have a built-in video download button, and videos auto-play in the feed without any obvious way to save them. SMI Facebook Video Downloader solves this with a simple paste-and-click approach that works on any device. Whether the video is a shared post, a Facebook Reel, a Watch video, or content from a public page, the process is the same. Here is how to do it:
Open Facebook in your app or browser and find the video you want to download. Click or tap the video to open it in its own view. Make sure it is a public video - videos from private profiles or closed groups cannot be downloaded.
On the Facebook app, tap the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top corner of the post and choose "Copy Link." On Facebook.com in a browser, right-click the video, choose "Show video URL," and copy it - or simply copy the page URL from your browser's address bar when the video is open in full view.
Come back to this page, paste the Facebook video URL into the input field, and click the Download Free button. The tool fetches the video from Facebook and returns download links within seconds.
The results will show available quality options - typically HD (720p or 1080p) and SD (360p or 480p). Choose HD for the best quality. Click your preferred option and the MP4 file downloads directly to your device.
Downloading Facebook Videos on iPhone
iPhone users can download Facebook videos using Safari. Open Safari (not the in-app Facebook browser), navigate to SMI Facebook Video Downloader, paste the video URL, and tap Download Free. When the quality options appear, tap your preferred option. Safari will ask if you want to download the file - tap Download. The file saves to the Files app under the Downloads folder. To move it to your Photos library, open Files, long-press the video, tap Share, and choose Save Video. The video will then appear in your camera roll.
If you are copying the link from the Facebook app, tap the three dots on the post and select Copy Link, then switch to Safari and come to this page to paste it. Avoid using the Facebook in-app browser because iOS restricts downloads in embedded browsers.
Downloading Facebook Videos on Android
On Android, downloading Facebook videos is straightforward. Open Chrome or any browser on your phone, visit SMI Facebook Video Downloader, paste the Facebook video URL, and tap Download. When the download options appear, tap the HD or SD button. Android will save the file to your Downloads folder automatically. Open your Files or Gallery app to view the downloaded video. Android gallery apps typically detect and display new videos automatically, so your Facebook download should appear in your gallery right away.
Downloading Facebook Videos on PC or Mac
On a desktop computer, the process is especially easy since you can copy Facebook URLs directly from the browser address bar. Open Facebook.com in your browser, find and open the video you want to save, and copy the URL from the address bar. Then come to SMI Facebook Video Downloader, paste the URL, and click Download. When the results appear, click the HD download button and save the file to your preferred location on your computer. The MP4 file is immediately playable in any video player including VLC, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime.
Facebook Reels Downloader
Facebook Reels are short-form vertical videos similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels, displayed in a dedicated Reels section. SMI Facebook Video Downloader supports Facebook Reels with the same simple process as regular videos. Open a Facebook Reel, copy its URL, paste it here, and download. Reels typically download in HD quality as standard portrait-orientation MP4 files. This is useful for content creators who want to save Facebook Reels to repurpose as content on other platforms, or simply to watch offline later.
What Types of Facebook Videos Can I Download?
SMI Facebook Video Downloader works with the following types of publicly available Facebook video content:
Feed videos - regular video posts shared by users or pages in the news feed. Works with any public post.
Facebook Reels - short vertical videos posted through the Reels feature. Download as MP4 in the original portrait orientation.
Facebook Watch videos - longer-form content published through Facebook's Watch platform. Paste the Watch URL the same way as any other Facebook video.
Page videos - videos posted by public Facebook pages (brands, news outlets, public figures). As long as the page is public and the video is visible without logging in, it can be downloaded.
Content not supported: private videos, group videos from closed or private groups, Facebook Live broadcasts (real-time streaming), and videos from friends-only posts.
HD vs SD - Which Quality Should I Choose?
When you download a Facebook video using SMI Downloader, you will typically see two quality options: HD and SD. Here is when to choose each:
HD (High Definition) - usually 720p or 1080p. This is the best quality and what you should choose if you plan to watch the video on a large screen, use it for editing, or share it on another platform. HD files are larger in size but significantly clearer.
SD (Standard Definition) - usually 360p or 480p. Smaller file size, lower quality. SD is fine for sharing in WhatsApp, Telegram, or other messaging apps where file size matters. It also downloads faster on slow internet connections.
If storage space is not a concern, always choose HD. For sharing via messaging apps where large files are inconvenient, SD is the practical choice.
