Paste a Facebook Reel link and save it as an MP4 in the best quality Facebook offers. No login, no app — works in any browser on iPhone, Android and desktop.

Updated · 5 min read · By the FDownloaders team

Works with public Facebook videos, Reels and Watch links — no login needed. How it works

  1. Open the Reel in the Facebook app or on facebook.com.
  2. Tap Share (the arrow icon) and choose Copy link.
  3. The link should look like facebook.com/reel/1234567890. If you get a /share/r/… link, open it in your browser and copy the address from the address bar.

How to download Facebook Reels

Paste the link in the box above and tap Download. When the result appears, pick a quality — HD when Facebook has it. On iPhone, the Reel goes to Files → Downloads; on Android, to the Download folder.

Reels are vertical (9:16), so expect a tall video. If Facebook hasn't made a file available for a Reel — for example while it's still processing — you'll see a clear message rather than a broken download.

Or use the Download option in the Facebook app

Facebook lets you download Reels you shared directly in the Android and iPhone apps: open the Reel, tap ⋯, then Download. According to Facebook, this isn't available on computers, which is where FDownloaders is handy.

Private Reels

Reels shared only with friends can't be downloaded without the owner's login. If the Reel is yours, connect Facebook in the downloader and use Choose from my videos, or use the app's Download option.

Reels shared from Instagram

If you cross-post Reels from Instagram to Facebook, the Facebook copy is a separate video. You can download the Facebook copy here. To get the Instagram original, use Instagram's own download option or keep the file from your camera roll — usually the best-quality version you'll find.

Respect creators

Reels belong to the people who made them. Save them for personal viewing, and ask before re-posting or using them commercially. More on fair use of downloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download a Facebook Reel without the app?

Yes. Paste the Reel link into the downloader above in any browser, press Download and choose a quality. Public Reels need no login.

Does a downloaded Reel have a watermark?

We don't add one. Anything that was part of the Reel when you published it — text, stickers, a logo — stays in the file.

Why is the music missing from my downloaded Reel?

Songs from Facebook's music library are licensed for use on Facebook, so Facebook may provide the file without that audio — or not offer it at all. Your own recorded sound is unaffected.
