FB video downloader for any device
TapDL is an FB video downloader that runs in your browser, so the same steps work on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Chromebook. There’s no app to install and no Facebook login: paste the link and download.
Download Facebook video as MP3
Want only the sound of a talk, sermon, interview or song clip? Choose MP3 on the result card to save the audio from any public Facebook video.
Is it legal to download Facebook videos?
Saving public videos for personal, offline viewing is common and generally fine in many countries. Reposting other people’s videos without permission can break copyright law and Facebook’s terms. Download your own videos freely and ask before reusing anyone else’s.
Download videos from Facebook Pages and public profiles
Videos posted by public Pages (news outlets, brands, creators, sports clubs) and by public profiles can all be saved. Open the video so it plays on its own, copy the link from the Share button or the browser bar, and paste it here. Videos shared into private groups or set to Friends only stay private.
Facebook video not downloading?
- The video is in a private group or shared with friends only.
- The video was removed by its owner.
- You copied the link to a page or profile, not to the video.
Need Instagram too? Use the Instagram video downloader.
