How To Download Facebook Video On Mobile & PC

Facebook hosts a large number of unique videos that you do not find on YouTube. If you want to download any video on Facebook, you don't need any extra software.

A simple URL trick will allow you to download the Facebook video whether you are using the website on PC or mobile web or even Facebook mobile application.

Facebook on Computer:

Older methods are not working anymore. The only way is to use a third-party web service to download the video or dedicated software.
Getfvid offers you to download any Facebook video without creating an account or anything like that. Just copy the Facebook post URL and click on the 'Download' button. The resolution in which the video is available can be selected here. Click on the 'Download in normal quality' button.

Your video will start downloading. If you are using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge Chromium or any other Chromium-based browser, you can install an extension Getfvid.

Android Mobile:

Instead of an official Facebook app, try using the open-source app for Facebook. You can easily download the videos in your timeline with one tap. Frost for Facebook is a completely open-source app to access Facebook. Not available on the Google Play store. You have to download it from F-Droid.

You just have to visit the mobile website of the standard Facebook page. To do this,

• Add 'm' letter instead of 'WWW' in https://www.facebook.com after that the URL will look like https://m.facebook.com
  Note that you have to play the video to get the option "Save Video As". If the video is not playing, you can't download. Once you start the download, you can stop or close the tab.
• Replace the WWW with m and click to play the video.
• While playing video, right-click on the video and select 'save video as' option to save/download it.
• Select the appropriate location to save the video.
