How do I download a Facebook video? This is a common question among Facebook users who want to save their favorite videos for offline viewing or share them with others. Whether you’re using a computer or a mobile device, downloading Facebook videos is a straightforward process. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to download a Facebook video on both platforms.
Facebook has made it easier for users to download videos by providing a download button on the video’s page. However, this feature is not available for all videos, especially those that are not public. In such cases, you’ll need to use third-party tools or browser extensions to download the video. Below, we’ll discuss both methods to help you download a Facebook video with ease.
Downloading a Facebook Video on a Computer
1. Open Facebook in your web browser and navigate to the video you want to download.
2. Right-click on the video and select “Copy video URL.”
3. Open a new tab and paste the copied URL into the address bar.
4. Replace “www.facebook.com” with “savefrom.net” in the URL (e.g., “savefrom.net/video_URL”).
5. Press Enter, and the website will display the video along with a download button.
6. Click the download button, and choose the desired video quality.
7. The video will start downloading to your computer.
Alternatively, you can use browser extensions like “FB Down” or “SaveFrom.net Helper” to download Facebook videos directly from your browser. To install these extensions, follow these steps:
1. Go to your browser’s extension store (e.g., Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons).
2. Search for the desired extension and click “Add to Chrome” or “Add to Firefox.”
3. Restart your browser, and the extension will automatically detect Facebook videos you visit.
4. Right-click on the video and select “Download” to save it to your computer.

5. Open a web browser on your mobile device and paste the copied URL into the address bar.
6. Replace “m.facebook.com” with “savefrom.net” in the URL (e.g., “savefrom.net/video_URL”).
