Paste the Facebook URL into the box. We'll extract the video and prepare it for download in the best available quality.
Save to your device
Hit download. The video saves as an MP4 file to your device.
Why use SaveThat for Facebook?
Facebook serves video content in a way that's deliberately difficult to pin down. The URLs you see in your browser while watching a Facebook video are temporary signed URLs, not stable links to the actual video file. They expire within minutes, which is why copy-pasting a Facebook video URL from your address bar almost never works in any downloader. You need the post URL (the share link), not the CDN URL.
Facebook also serves different video quality levels depending on your connection and device. The mobile site typically loads lower-resolution streams than the desktop site, and the Watch tab serves content differently from regular feed posts. SaveThat handles all of these cases through the share URL. Just paste the link to the post and we figure out the rest.
Facebook's login wall means we can only reach content that's set to Public. Videos posted to friends-only, specific friend lists, or private groups are behind an authentication layer we can't cross. If a video is public, though, we can get it regardless of whether you have a Facebook account.
