Facebook video links come in at least four shapes: a watch page, an fb.watch short link, a mobile address and a post on a profile or page. Kwebby's Facebook Video Downloader reads all of them. You paste a public link, click Get Video Info, and choose HD or SD to download an MP4. It is one of Kwebby's Free Video & Audio Downloaders, and it needs no Facebook login.
Use it for videos you posted, or videos whose owner has said you may save them. Follow Facebook's terms and copyright rules, and leave private content alone.

What Is the Kwebby Facebook Video Downloader?
The Kwebby Facebook Video Downloader is a free web tool that saves a public Facebook video from its link as an MP4 file. You paste the link, click Get Video Info, and pick HD or SD. It works on video posts, Reels, Watch videos and completed Live streams, and it runs on Kwebby's servers without any app or Facebook login.
HD gives you the best version Facebook offers for the video, often 720p or 1080p. SD gives you the smallest version it offers. The exact resolutions depend on the upload. The format list also offers MP3 192kbps for audio only, and the Facebook to MP3 Converter does the same job on an audio-first page.
Key Features and How It Works
Four link shapes in one box
Facebook gives you different links depending on where you copied them. The tool accepts each of these:
| Link looks like | Where it usually comes from |
|---|---|
| facebook.com/watch | A video on Facebook Watch |
| fb.watch/... | A short link from the Facebook app's share options |
| m.facebook.com/... | A mobile browser address |
| facebook.com/username/videos/... | A video posted by a page or profile |
HD and SD in plain terms
HD downloads the best available version, often 720p or 1080p, and suits large screens and archives. SD downloads the smallest version available, which saves storage and finishes faster. Choose after you click Get Video Info.
Reels, Watch videos and finished Live streams
The tool treats a Facebook Reel like any other video. A Live broadcast works only after it ends and Facebook keeps it as a public video. A stream still in progress cannot be saved.
Public videos only
The tool reaches public videos. Closed groups, private accounts and restricted posts return an error. That boundary protects people who chose to limit their audience, and you should not try to work around it.
Why Saving Facebook Videos Responsibly Matters
A Facebook video usually belongs to a person, a page or a business, and it often shows other people who never agreed to be copied. Saving it for your own reference is one act. Reposting it is another.
The US Copyright Office on fair use offers no safe percentage or runtime that you may copy without permission, whether the clip comes from a family video, a local news segment or a business tutorial. When you want to reuse someone's video, ask first and keep the answer.
Privacy adds a second layer. A video from a community group may show neighbours or children. Even when you hold the copyright, get consent from the people in the footage before you republish it.
How to Use the Kwebby Facebook Video Downloader
- Open the Facebook video you own, or have permission to save.
- Click the three-dot menu on the post and select Copy link. On a desktop you can also copy the address from the browser bar.
- Paste the link into the input field above.
- Click Get Video Info and wait for the video to load.
- Choose HD for the best quality or SD for a smaller file.
- Click Download, and the MP4 saves to your device.
If the tool says a video cannot be downloaded, check that it is public and that the live stream has ended.
Best Practices for Saving Facebook Videos
Match quality to the destination
Use HD when you plan to edit, present on a large screen or archive. Use SD when you only need a reference copy or when storage is tight. You can always compress an HD file later, but you cannot add detail to an SD one.
Record where each video came from
Write down the page or profile, the post date and the permission you received. A short note beside the file stops disputes about where a clip came from.
Handle Live replays with care
A finished Live stream can run for an hour and carry music, comments and guests. Check the music and the guests' consent before you reuse any part. If you hosted the Live, back up the HD file soon after it ends.
Mistakes to avoid
- Pasting a link from a private group and expecting a download.
- Re-uploading a page's video under your own name.
- Using a video that shows other people without their consent.
- Assuming a public video is free to reuse.
Common Use Cases
- Page managers back up the HD version of every video the page publishes.
- Community managers save a permitted member video for a newsletter, with the member's approval and credit.
- Event organizers keep the finished Live stream of their own event for a recap.
- Teachers save a lesson video they posted so it plays offline in class.
- Small businesses download their own product demo to reuse on a website.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I download a Facebook video?
Copy the video's link, paste it into the Kwebby Facebook Video Downloader, and click Get Video Info. Choose HD or SD, then click Download. The MP4 saves to your device.
What is the difference between HD and SD?
HD downloads the best available version, often 720p or 1080p. SD downloads the smallest, lowest-resolution version available, which uses less storage and finishes faster. The exact resolutions depend on the upload.
Can I download Facebook Reels and Live videos?
Yes, for public ones. Reels are handled like regular video posts, and a Live video works only after the stream ends and is saved as a public post. Streams in progress cannot be downloaded.
Can I download private Facebook videos?
No. The tool saves public videos only. Videos from private accounts, closed groups or restricted posts cannot be reached, and you should not try to bypass that.
Is downloading Facebook videos legal?
It depends on who owns the video and what you do with the file. Saving your own videos is fine, and saving someone else's needs their permission and a check against Facebook's terms. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes. Downloads are limited to 100 MB per file.
How many downloads can I make, and what happens to the link I paste?
Each visitor can start 5 video downloads and 10 MP3 downloads per hour across Kwebby's Facebook tools, and each file is limited to 100 MB. Kwebby's server fetches the file, hands it to your browser and deletes its copy once the download is served, or after about 15 minutes if it is never collected. The job record holds the link, the title and your IP address and expires about 10 minutes after the job ends. Server logs can also include the link you paste.
Final Thoughts
The Kwebby Facebook Video Downloader turns a public Facebook link into an HD or SD MP4 in a few clicks. It works best for backing up your own page's videos and for content that owners have cleared you to use. Save your most recent Live stream in HD today, and use the Facebook to MP3 Converter when you only need the sound.
