Facebook Reels Downloader

1. Open the Reel. Find it in the Reels tab, your feed or on a Page.
2. Copy the link. Tap Share, then Copy link. Reel links usually look like facebook.com/share/r/… or facebook.com/reel/….
3. Paste and save. Paste it above, press Download, then press Save on the file you want.

Facebook usually offers one ready-made video file for Reels, shown as MP4 · best available. That's the best version Facebook shares without a login.

Reels are vertical, short and made for phones. Regular videos can be any length and are often wide. SnapFrom handles both, but this page is focused on Reels. For longer or wide videos, the Facebook video downloader has tips for large files.

Because Reels are short, they're usually ready to download within a few seconds.

Only public Reels can be saved. Most Reels are public by default, but not all:

• Reels from public Pages and creators: work.
• Reels shared with "Public": work.
• Reels shared only with friends: can't be saved.
• Reels inside private groups: can't be saved.

Not sure? Open the link in a private browser window. If it plays without asking you to log in, it's public.

Made a Reel and lost the original? If it's public, paste its link here to get a copy with sound. It's a quick way to back up your best Reels or repost them on another app you use.

For a full archive of everything you've posted, Facebook's Download your information tool in Accounts Centre is more complete.

• iPhone and iPad: the Files app, under Downloads. Open it, tap Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos.
• Android: the Download folder. Your gallery shows it shortly after.
• Computer: your downloads folder.

Reels keep their vertical shape, so they fill your phone screen when you play them.

On a computer, vertical videos show with black bars at the sides. That's normal. If you plan to edit the Reel, most video editors have a 9:16 project setting that matches it exactly.

Reels often contain licensed music and creators' own work. Saving one to watch later is common. Reposting someone else's Reel as your own, or using it in ads, isn't fair to the creator and may break copyright rules. Ask first, and credit them.

• "Private or needs a login": the Reel isn't public.
• "Can't be found": the Reel was removed, or the link is incomplete.
• "Took too long": try again in a moment.
• Save stopped working: Save buttons last 30 minutes. Paste the link again.

Save Reels from Instagram (picture only), or short videos from TikTok with sound.
