Downaro

Save public Facebook videos and Reels

Facebook links are messy. Use a public video or Reel URL that still plays when you are logged out — usually facebook.com or fb.watch.

Only use links you own or have permission to download. Private, paid, and login-walled posts will be refused.

Get a URL that is actually the video

Open the video in a browser. Copy the address bar after the player is showing that clip. fb.watch short links are acceptable if they resolve to a public Facebook video host.

Do not paste a profile, a Page home URL, or a Messenger share card. Those are not media files.

Reels and Watch

Public Watch videos and some Reels advertise a file to logged-out visitors. Many Reels do not. If Facebook answers with a login wall, Downaro stops. That is the product working as designed, not a broken button.

Friends-only posts, group-only videos, and marketplace clips are out of scope.

If the paste fails

  • Open the same link in a private browser window. If Facebook asks you to log in, Downaro cannot help.
  • Strip is not required; extra query parameters are fine. The host still has to be Facebook.
  • Live videos that have not ended often have no stable file.

Facebook and Meta trademarks belong to Meta. Downaro is not an official Meta tool.

Questions people actually ask

Which Facebook URL should I copy?

Open the video in a browser and copy the address bar, or use a public fb.watch link. Profile pages and most share-wrapper URLs are not videos.

Can Downaro save Facebook Reels?

Only public Reels that still play when you are logged out. Many Facebook Reels are limited to signed-in viewers.
