Download Facebook videos in HD or SD
Public Facebook videos, watch links and fb.watch shares — pick the quality variant Facebook actually has available and download it directly.
Facebook serves two quality tiers — this tool surfaces both
Every public Facebook video is encoded at two levels: a full-bitrate HD version and a smaller SD fallback for slow connections. Facebook's own player picks automatically based on your network; a downloader that only grabs one URL is guessing which tier you got.
This tool resolves both variants explicitly and lists them separately with their quality label, so the choice is yours — HD when file size does not matter, SD when it does.
Short fb.watch and fb.me links get expanded to the full watch URL first, since the underlying video id lives there, not in the short link itself.
How it works
- 1
Copy the video link
From the share menu on any public Facebook video, or copy the address bar URL on desktop.
- 2
Paste it above
Short links (fb.watch, fb.me) get expanded automatically before resolving.
- 3
Pick HD or SD
Both quality variants are listed when Facebook has them — download whichever fits.
FAQ
Does this work on Facebook Reels?
Yes — public Facebook Reels and Watch links both resolve through the same flow.
What about videos in private groups?
No — only content a logged-out visitor could view publicly. Private group and friends-only videos are not accessible.
Why does a link sometimes fail with an HD variant but succeed with SD?
Facebook does not always encode an HD tier for older or low-resolution source uploads — SD is the only variant that exists in that case.
