This free Facebook Reels downloader saves any public Facebook Reel as an MP4.

Paste the Reel's link and you get the HD and SD files with their sizes, plus the Reel's sound, its cover and its text.

The video comes straight from Facebook to your device. My site only reads Facebook's public video pages to find it, so there are no ads and no watermark.

Here's what a Facebook Reels downloader is, how to use it, and which quality to pick.

What is a Facebook Reels downloader?

A Facebook Reels downloader is a tool that saves a Reel from Facebook as a video file on your device.

This one reads a public Reel from its link, plays it on the page, and lists every quality Facebook made, best first.

How to download Facebook Reels

Download a Facebook Reel0/4

Share links (/share/r/…), Reel links (/reel/…) and video links (/videos/…) all work.

HD or SD: which to pick

Facebook makes each Reel in 2 files. On the public videos I checked on September 26, 2026, HD was 720p, and SD was 360p or 426p:

QualityBest for
HD (720p)Posting again as a Reel, a Short or a TikTok
SD (360p or 426p)Sending in a chat, or a slow connection
Sound (MP3 or M4A)The Reel's audio on its own

The tool shows each file's size and marks the best one. Both files have the Reel's sound.

Downloading on iPhone and Android

On a phone, press Download and the Reel saves to your downloads: the Files app on an iPhone, the Downloads folder on Android.

Where your phone supports it, tap Share or save once to get the file, then again to open the share sheet. An iPhone offers Save Video there, which puts it in Photos.

Why some Reels won't download

  • The Reel isn't public. Reels shared with friends only need a sign-in.
  • The Reel was removed. A link to a deleted Reel leads nowhere.
  • Facebook didn't answer. Try again in a minute.

Your own Reels, and someone else's

A Reel belongs to the person or page that posted it.

Save your own freely: to post it on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube Shorts, to edit it, or to keep a copy. Before you reuse someone else's, ask them, and credit them when you do.

Do more with the Reel

Ask your AI to rewrite its text for LinkedIn or X in 1 click. For longer Facebook videos, my Facebook video downloader works the same way.
