Why use VoomReel for Facebook?
- Photos as well as video: a public photo post returns the picture at full resolution, not the scaled copy your feed shows.
- Free & unlimited: download as many Facebook videos and Reels as you want, no cost.
- No login or app: it runs in your browser; your Facebook account is never involved.
- HD quality: when Facebook keeps a sharper copy than the one it plays in the feed, an HD button saves it, up to 1080p.
- Secure server proxy: Facebook downloads route through an encrypted, signed-token proxy, so it stays safe and private.
- Original audio included: video and audio are merged automatically, so what you download plays exactly like the original.
- Works with any link format: full facebook.com links and short fb.watch links both work automatically.
- Private & secure: your downloads are private and the connection is encrypted.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Facebook video downloader free?
Yes, completely free with no limits or sign-up.
Can I download Facebook Reels and Watch videos?
Yes. Facebook videos, Reels, Watch and public group videos are all supported.
Do I need to log in to Facebook?
No. VoomReel never asks for your Facebook password or login.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in any modern browser on any device.
Can I download Instagram videos too?
Yes. VoomReel also supports Instagram. Try our Instagram Video Downloader.
What video quality will I get?
Download saves the ready-made copy Facebook serves, which plays everywhere. When Facebook keeps a sharper copy, an HD button under Download saves that one, up to 1080p; it is often in the newer AV1 format, which plays in browsers and VLC.
What file format do I get?
A standard MP4 file, playable on any device or video editor.
Will the download include the original sound?
Yes. Video and audio are merged automatically, so the file plays exactly like the original.
Does it work with fb.watch short links?
Yes. Both fb.watch short links and full facebook.com links work the same way.
Can I download a video from a Facebook Page?
Yes, as long as the Page and its videos are public.
Can I download private posts or videos only visible to friends?
No. Only content that’s publicly viewable without logging in is supported.
Can I download a Facebook Live video?
Not while it’s live. Once a Live video ends and becomes a regular video post, it downloads the same as any other Facebook video.
Is downloading Facebook videos legal?
For personal use of public content, generally yes, but respect the creator’s rights and don’t re-upload their video elsewhere without permission.
Does downloading a video notify the poster?
No. Downloading a public video is silent, the same as viewing it normally.
Can I convert the video to another format?
VoomReel downloads video as MP4, and the ♪ MP3 button under each video saves just the sound as an MP3. Other formats aren’t supported.
Does it work on Chromebook or tablets?
Yes. Anything with a modern web browser works, including Chromebook, iPad and Android tablets.
Is my download linked to my Facebook account?
No. VoomReel never connects to your Facebook account, so there’s nothing to link. Only anonymized, aggregate usage stats are recorded.
Is there a length or size limit?
For typical Facebook videos there’s no practical limit. Extremely long or unusually large files may occasionally fail to download completely.
Can I download several Facebook videos at once?
Paste each link one at a time. There’s no batch downloader, but there’s no limit to how many you can download this way.
Can I download Facebook photos?
Yes. Paste the link to a public photo post and you get the picture at the full size Facebook serves it, larger than the copy in your feed, and far larger than a screenshot.
Which photo do I get from an album?
The one your link points at. Facebook gives every picture in an album its own address, so open the individual photo first and copy that link.
Will a video post ever give me a still image instead?
No. A post advertising a video is always treated as a video, even when that fails: handing you one frame where you asked for the video would be a confidently wrong answer.
