How to use the Facebook Video downloader

Facebook video can appear in Watch, a public post, or a short fb.watch share link. Copy the address of the individual video, not the news feed containing it.

A closer look

Built for Facebook Video links

See the same three stages on a larger screen. Each example is captured from this website.

Link entry screen for Facebook Video

01 / Paste

Start with the right Facebook Video link

A Facebook Watch or individual public video address identifies the post. Links to a group, feed, or private profile may not expose media without signing in.

Source-quality selection for Facebook Video

02 / Choose

Use a format the source actually offers

Some Facebook videos expose multiple files, while others expose only one. The quality list is based on the checked post and may include a fast complete MP4.

03 / Save

Preview before you save

Preview the prepared public video before saving it. If Facebook changes access to the post, the short-lived result may need a fresh source check.

Transparent by design

Fast path, safe fallbacks

If Facebook exposes more than one usable format, the quality chooser shows what is actually available. Resolution labels never imply upscaling.

Works everywhere

Download on any device

On mobile, open the video and choose Share → Copy link. On desktop, click into the video and copy its direct address. Audience-restricted posts and group-only media require access that GalaxyFetch does not have.

iPhone & iPad

Tap Share, then Copy link. Downloads appear in Safari and the Files app.

Android

Tap Share → Copy link. Find the finished MP4 in Downloads or your browser.

Desktop

Open the individual post, copy its address, then check your Downloads folder.

Frequently asked questions

Helpful answers

Can I save a private group video?

No. Group-only or audience-limited video requires account access, which this service does not request or bypass.

Why are some HD options missing?

Only source formats actually exposed for that post are shown. A public page does not guarantee every resolution is available.

Can I use a private or login-only link?

No. GalaxyFetch handles only media that the source exposes publicly without an account. It never asks for your password, session cookie, or private-profile access.

Does downloading give me permission to reuse the file?

No. Save only media you own or have permission to use. Copyright and the source platform rules still apply.

Where will the file go?

Desktop browsers normally save to Downloads. Android uses Downloads or the browser download list. On iPhone and iPad, check Safari Downloads and the Files app.

Why might the download fail?

The post may be removed, restricted by region or age, require a login, or the source may temporarily refuse automated access. A public-looking page is not always a public media file.

How long does a prepared link work?

A prepared link is short-lived, normally about 15 minutes. If it expires, check the original public post again for a new link.

How is media handled?

Complete source files may use direct, edge, or proxy streaming. Formats that need merging may use a private, short-lived storage object. The exact route depends on source behavior and current configuration.
