Facebook is one of the world’s largest social platforms, where users frequently share videos on personal profiles, groups, and public pages. These may include event livestreams, tutorials, or short video clips. However, Facebook does not provide a built-in download option, making it difficult to save videos directly.
This guide explains how to extract and download videos from Facebook posts by using our Video/Image Downloader tool—no plugins or extensions required.
Steps to Follow
Step 1: Copy the Facebook post link
Open the Facebook app or website and find the post that contains the video you want to save. Tap the Share or More options icon, then select Copy link.
Step 2: Open the media extraction tool
Go to our video & gallery extractor website. After logging in, paste the copied link into the input box on the homepage.
Step 3: Extract and download the video
Click the Extract button. The system will analyze the link and identify the embedded video content. Once detected, a preview and download button will appear. You can then save the video to your device in MP4 format.
FAQs
1. The tool says “Extraction failed” — what should I do?
Make sure the copied link is complete and that the video is from a public post. Private or restricted posts cannot be extracted.
2. Can I extract videos from private profiles or closed groups?
No, only videos from publicly accessible posts can be extracted due to Facebook’s privacy settings.
3. Is the original video quality preserved?
We always attempt to fetch the highest available resolution, but the final quality depends on what was originally uploaded to Facebook.
