On a computer, a saved Reel becomes a proper file you can organise. Put the bread recipes in one folder, the spreadsheet tips in another, open a tutorial on the second monitor while you follow along. All it takes is the address of a public Facebook Reel and the browser you already use, with no program or extension added.
It works the same in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows, Mac, Linux or a Chromebook. The Reel's address is right there in the bar at the top, so copying is a matter of two keys. The MP4 is saved in the Downloads folder unless you have told the browser to ask where to put each file.
How it works
- Copy the address of the ReelOpen the Reel on Facebook in your browser, click the address bar and press Ctrl+C, or Cmd+C on a Mac. The Share button under the Reel also has a Copy link option.
- Paste it on this pageClick the field at the top, press Ctrl+V and then the button with the down arrow. Close the short ad when its countdown finishes.
- Save the MP4Click SD or HD. The file goes to the Downloads folder, and from there you can move it wherever you keep your videos.
Questions and answers
Do I need to install a program or extension on my PC?
No. The tool is a web page and the download is done by the browser itself. It is free because one short ad is shown before the file, and you can close it as soon as the countdown ends.
Where is the Reel saved on the computer?
In the Downloads folder of your user, by default. In Chrome and Edge, Ctrl+J opens the list of recent downloads with a button to show the file in its folder. If your browser is set to ask every time, you choose the destination.
Is the quality better when I download on a PC?
The options are the same on any device: SD, and HD when Facebook provides it for that Reel. On a large monitor the difference between them is easier to see, so HD is worth choosing when it is listed. We do not promise a specific resolution.
The video shows the creator's name or a logo. Can you remove it?
No. The file is delivered as Facebook provides it, and we do not edit the image or promise to remove any watermark. Marks that the author placed on the video are part of the original and remain in the download.
Can I use downloaded Reels in a presentation or a class?
Only with the right to do so. Use Reels you created or ask the author for permission before showing or editing their video, even in a small meeting. A link being public is not a licence to reuse the content.
Can I paste a list of links and download them all?
No, the tool reads one link at a time. On a computer this is still quick: keep Facebook in one tab and this page in another, and repeat copy, paste and save for each Reel you want to keep.
