Facebook Reel Downloader

This Facebook Reel downloader turns a public Reel link into an MP4 file you can keep on your phone or computer, so it also works as a Facebook Reels downloader for clips you want to watch offline. Copy the Reel’s link, paste it in the box above, press Download, and pick Save MP4 once the result card shows the clip. There is no app to install and no Facebook login. Reels are short, usually vertical clips, and the saved file keeps the frame the Reel was published in; nothing is cropped or rotated.

Use it for Reels you made yourself or clips you have permission to keep. A Reel that anyone can watch without signing in is the kind this tool can reach. A Reel limited to friends, or posted inside a private group, stays out of reach no matter how the link looks.

To download a Reel from your phone, you only need the browser you already have. In the Facebook app, open the Reel full screen, tap Share, then Copy link. The copied address is often a facebook.com/share/r/... link rather than the longer /reel/ address; both are accepted. Switch to your browser, open this page, paste, and tap Download. On iPhone, Safari saves the MP4 to Files > Downloads; from there, the Share sheet can move a compatible video into Photos. On Android, open the browser’s Downloads list or your Files app.

On a computer, open the Reel in a browser. The address bar usually shows facebook.com/reel/ followed by a long number. Copy that full address. If you are scrolling the Reels feed, open the specific Reel first, because the feed address does not tell the tool which clip you mean.

The detector recognizes these Facebook addresses:

• facebook.com/reel/1234567890... — the standard Reel page
• facebook.com/share/r/... and facebook.com/share/v/... — links made by the Share button
• fb.watch/... — short links, as long as they redirect to a public video
• facebook.com/.../videos/... and facebook.com/watch/?v=... — regular video pages, for a Reel that Facebook also shows as a video

A profile, a Page homepage, or the Reels tab of a creator does not point to one clip. Paste the address of the single Reel. Passing the format check is only the first step; the tool then asks whether the Reel is public and has an MP4 it can deliver.

Many creators publish a Reel on Instagram and share it to Facebook at the same time. On Facebook it gets its own Reel page and its own audience setting. If you are watching it on Facebook, copy the Facebook reel link and paste it here. If what you have is an instagram.com/reel/... link, that is an Instagram address: use the Instagram Reels page instead. The two copies can differ in audience, availability, and even sound, so a Reel that is public on one app may be restricted on the other.

Facebook re-encodes Reels for playback, so the result lists the renditions the public Reel actually offers. The main button picks an eligible MP4 up to 1080p, and More formats shows the other choices with a reason for any that are disabled. Not every Reel has HD. A clip uploaded at low resolution stays that way, and picking a larger option cannot add detail that is not in the source.

Sound in a Reel often comes from licensed music or another creator’s original audio. Facebook can mute or swap such audio in some regions, and the saved file carries only what the public Reel delivers. If your MP4 is silent, check whether the Reel plays with sound in a private browser window. Facebook Reels are saved as MP4 video only; there is no audio-only or MP3 option for Facebook links.

Each download is capped at 2 GB, and videos over one hour are not supported. Reels rarely come close to either limit, but an unknown size is not a guarantee that a file is small.

When a Reel is posted, the creator picks who can see it. Public Reels can be resolved here. Reels shared only with friends, with a custom list, or within a private group are visible to you because you are signed in, but this tool never signs in. It does not ask for your password or cookies and does not borrow your access. To check, open the link in a private or incognito window. If Facebook asks you to log in, the Reel is not public and cannot be saved through this page.

A public Reel is easy to watch, but that does not make it free to reuse. Reels often mix the creator’s footage with licensed songs, clips from TV, or other people’s videos. Save Reels you own or have permission to keep, and ask the creator before reposting or editing their work. Sharing the original link keeps the credit with the creator. This site’s Terms limit the free downloader to personal, noncommercial use.

The link is rejected right away. Make sure it is the link to one Reel, not a profile or the Reels feed. Messaging apps sometimes add punctuation or text around a pasted link; paste only the address. If you copied from a share sheet, try the full facebook.com/reel/ address instead.

The Reel is recognized but reported as unavailable. The Reel may have been deleted, set to friends only, or limited by region. Test it in a private browser window. Retrying the same restricted link will not change the result.

The download stopped or expired. Download links are short-lived and tied to your browser. Paste the original Reel link again to get a fresh one rather than reusing an old download address.

I can’t find the file. On iPhone, look in Files > Downloads; on Android, open the browser’s Downloads list; on a computer, check the browser’s download folder. Play the file once to confirm it finished before deleting any other copy.
