Open Facebook and navigate to the video you want to download. This can be a regular video post, a Reel, or even a saved live stream.

Step 2: Copy the Video URL

Click the three dots (...) menu on the post and select "Copy link". On mobile, you can also tap "Share" and then "Copy Link".

Step 3: Paste into SaveMyReel

Visit savemyreel.online, select the Facebook tab, and paste the copied URL.

Step 4: Download

Click the Download button. The video will be processed and download options will appear. Choose your preferred quality and save to your device.

Types of Facebook Content You Can Download

  • Regular video posts: Videos shared on timelines, pages, and groups
  • Facebook Reels: Short-form video content (similar to Instagram Reels)
  • Watch videos: Content from Facebook's dedicated video platform
  • Live stream replays: Recorded Facebook Live sessions after broadcast ends
  • Shared videos: Videos shared from other pages or profiles

Downloading Facebook Videos on iPhone

Downloading Facebook videos on iPhone is straightforward with SaveMyReel. Open Safari, go to savemyreel.online, and paste the Facebook video link. After clicking Download, the video will be saved to your Files app. From there, you can move it to your Camera Roll.

💡 iPhone Tip:

If the video opens in your browser instead of downloading, long-press the download link and select "Download Linked File".

On Android, the process is even simpler. Open Chrome or your preferred browser, go to savemyreel.online, paste the Facebook video URL, and download. The video file will be saved to your Downloads folder and accessible through your Gallery app.
