How to save a Facebook video from a share link

How to download Facebook videos

Save public Facebook videos in the best quality available from share and watch URLs.

Last updated: June 16, 2026

Supported link types

Facebook watch pages, facebook.com/share/r/ and share/v/ links, and fb.watch short URLs work when the video is public. Login-only or friends-only videos cannot be analyzed.

Step-by-step

  1. Copy the video link from the Facebook app or browser.
  2. Paste it at Power Downloader and tap Analyze link.
  3. Select the video thumbnail and complete the download steps.

Quality notes

We prefer higher-bitrate progressive MP4 files when Facebook exposes them on the watch page. Some clips are only available in standard definition; that limit comes from the source, not from our tool.

Preview vs download

If analyze fails, you may see an embedded Facebook preview or an "Open in Facebook" button. That lets you watch in-browser while server access is being restored. For file downloads, public links that work without logging in give the best results.
