There are various methods for downloading videos from Facebook' depending on who posted the video. For example, if it is a video that you  posted or if it was posted by someone else. This article will show you how to download videos in either of the two aforementioned categories.

Download Video from Facebook

1. Downvids

Downvids is a simple tool to download any Facebook video. All you have to do is paste the video’s URL in the box, select the quality you want using the drop-down menu below 'Select video format', and click on Download. A new box will appear underneath. Then, select Download again, and the process will start.

Make sure you watch out for all the fake download buttons especially if you do not have an ad blocker installed. Downvids also supplies a QR code. You can it using an appropriate app on your phone to watch the video on your device immediately. There is also a Downvids Android app, but since reviews are mixed, we recommend avoiding it.

2. FBDown

FBDown is just as easy to use as Downvids. You just need to paste a URL to download the video. However, the app has two methods for downloading content:

The link method; Copy the link of the video you want to dowunload, paste it in the box on the web app, and click on the 'Download' button. The app will spend a moment processing your request.

The Second is the Chrome extension. It’ll detect any video on the web page you’re currently looking at, then offer a way to download it through the icon in the upper right corner of the browser. It also works with videos on other common sites, not just Facebook.

3. Private Facebook Videos (FBDown)

FBDown also offers what is considered the most reliable private video downloader online.However, the processes involved are not as straightforward as downloading public videos.

First, go to the private video’s web page on Facebook. Next, press Ctrl + U to see the page’s source code (note: shortcut might vary slightly from browser to browser).

You will have to copy all the page’s source code and paste it in the box on the app's web page.
After that,, click Download to complete the process.

4. SaveFrom

SaveFrom offers three ways to download Facebook videos.

• The first one: Grab the video’s URL, paste it into the on-screen box, and click on Download.
• Method two: like FBDown, SaveFrom has a Chrome extension. In the Chrome Web Store, it is known as Ast Saver.
• Finally, there’s a downloadable EXE app. If you use the app, you will be able to choose the video quality before you save it. It is a great tool if you are downloading HD content.

5. KeepVid

KeepVid is quite popular. It has been around for years and has gained a loyal band of users. It is also  the most full-featured of all the apps on this list. It has an online downloader, an Android mobile app, a Windows and Mac desktop app, and  Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and internet Explorer browser extensions.

The desktop programs are not free to use. However, if you just want to download a couple of videos off Facebook, they are unnecessary; the online tool will satisfy your requirements.

To use it, copy the link of the video you want to download, paste it into the box, and click on Download.
