Tips & best practices for Facebook
- Videos in private groups or shared to Friends only can't be downloaded.
- If HD fails, try a lower quality — some older uploads only exist in SD.
- Copy the link from the video itself, not from the post's timestamp, for best results.
Troubleshooting Facebook downloads
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| "Link not supported" | Use the Share → Copy link button rather than copying the browser address bar from a feed. |
| Video downloads without audio | Pick a different quality from the list; if it persists the original upload may have no audio. |
Facebook downloader FAQ
Can I download videos from private Facebook groups?
No. Only publicly visible videos are supported.
Does it work with Facebook Live?
Yes, once the live has ended and been saved as a video on the page.
Why is the quality low?
Facebook sometimes only serves SD for older uploads or videos shared from other pages.
Is SaveVD free?
Yes. SaveVD is free to use with no sign-up, no software to install and no watermark added to your files.
Do I need to install an app or extension?
No. SaveVD runs in your browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, Linux and ChromeOS. Just paste a link.
Is it legal to download videos?
Downloading is generally fine for your own content, content in the public domain, or content licensed for reuse (e.g. Creative Commons). Re-uploading or redistributing someone else's copyrighted video without permission is not. Always respect the creator and the platform's terms.
