Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download videos from private Facebook groups or profiles?

No. The downloader can only access publicly viewable videos that do not require an active Facebook login or group membership.

Why are Facebook Stories often unavailable?

Facebook Stories utilize ephemeral, session-bound tokens that expire quickly and typically require active user authentication, preventing third-party download access.

What resolution will the downloaded video be?

The tool checks available public streams and returns the highest quality tiers made available by Facebook CDN for that post (typically Standard and High Definition when provided by the uploader).

Do I need to install software or a browser extension?

No. The download workflow runs entirely through your web browser on desktop and mobile.
