Why Can't You Download Facebook Videos Directly?
Facebook doesn't offer a built-in download button for most videos. While creators can sometimes enable downloads, the majority of Facebook videos — Reels, Stories, and regular posts — have no official download option. That's where LoadReel comes in.
Over 800,000 people search for "download Facebook video" every month in the US and France combined — it's one of the most requested tools online.
Step-by-Step: Download Facebook Videos
1
Find the Facebook Video
Open Facebook and navigate to the video you want to save. This works for regular posts, Facebook Reels, and Watch videos — as long as they're public.
2
Copy the Video Link
On desktop: Right-click the video → Copy Video URL. Or click the three dots (•••) on the post → Copy link. On mobile: Tap Share → Copy Link.
3
Paste on LoadReel
Open LoadReel.com. Tap the Paste button (it reads from your clipboard automatically) or paste manually.
4
Click Download
Tap the red Download button. LoadReel processes the Facebook URL and shows all available quality options — usually SD and HD versions.
5
Save to Your Device
Choose HD quality for best results → Tap Save → Long-press (mobile) or right-click (desktop) when the video opens → Download.
Download Facebook Reels
Facebook Reels work exactly the same way! Copy the Reel URL from your browser address bar or tap the share button and copy the link. Paste it into LoadReel — it will detect it's a Reel and process accordingly.
Common Issues & Fixes
❌ "Video not found" error
This usually means the video is from a private profile or group. LoadReel can only access content that's publicly visible. Check that the video is set to "Public" in Facebook's privacy settings.
❌ Only getting low quality
The available quality depends on what the video creator originally uploaded. If the original was uploaded in low resolution, that's all Facebook provides in their API.
