FAQ
Questions about the free facebook video downloader
No. Only videos that are visible without logging in can be downloaded. Friends-only posts, private groups, and videos with restricted audiences show a clear message. The tool never asks for your Facebook credentials.
facebook.com/watch/?v=…, facebook.com/reel/…, page video links like facebook.com/page/videos/…, video.php?v=… links, fb.watch short links, and the share links the mobile app creates. Short and share links are followed to the real video automatically.
Facebook serves two progressive renditions for most videos: HD is the higher resolution, usually 720p or 1080p, and SD is a smaller file at a lower resolution. Some older or low-resolution uploads only have SD, in which case only one option is listed.
No. Facebook does not watermark its videos and captionrich does not add anything. You get the original MP4 with its audio. Reposting someone else's video without permission may break Facebook's terms, so use the tool for your own content or with consent.
