Public links only
Made for Facebook videos the server can reach
SnapFrom checks publicly available Facebook video links. Private posts, friends-only videos, closed groups, and active live streams may not return downloadable media.
Public video posts
Standard videos shared as public Facebook posts.
Public page videos
Videos published on pages that are visible without a private login.
Public Reels
Short Facebook videos when the Reel link is publicly accessible.
Finished live replays
Completed broadcasts after a public replay has been posted.
Clear download choices
Check the file before you save it
The result area shows the choices detected from the public video. Available quality depends on the original Facebook post.
Higher detail
Choose an HD option when the public source provides one and image detail matters.
Smaller file
Use a standard-quality option when storage or mobile data is limited.
Common video format
Facebook video results are normally shown in MP4 when that file is available.

Troubleshooting
When a Facebook link does not work
Most failures are caused by link access, post privacy, or temporary availability. Try these checks before submitting the link again.
Check that the post is public
Friends-only posts, private profiles, and closed-group videos cannot be reached as public media.
Copy the direct post link again
Open the video post itself and copy its URL instead of copying text surrounding the link.
Wait for a live replay
An active stream may not be available. Try again after the broadcast ends and a public replay appears.
Allow time for large videos
Long or high-quality videos may need more time before file details can be returned.
Help and answers
Facebook Video Downloader FAQ
Simple answers for common questions about public Facebook video links.
Which Facebook video links can I use?
Use a direct URL to a publicly accessible Facebook video, Reel, page post, or finished live replay. Restricted content may not work.
Can I download a private Facebook video?
No. SnapFrom cannot access friends-only posts, private profiles, private groups, or content that requires a Facebook login.
What video quality will I receive?
SnapFrom shows the quality choices detected from the public source. Some posts provide HD and SD options, while others provide only one result.
Can I use this downloader on mobile?
Yes. Copy the public Facebook link in the app and paste it into SnapFrom using your mobile browser.
Why is my Facebook video link failing?
The post may be private, deleted, restricted, region-limited, temporarily unavailable, or copied incorrectly. Check the post and recopy its direct URL.
Does SnapFrom add a watermark?
SnapFrom does not place a new watermark on the downloaded file. Any mark already inside the original video remains part of that video.
