Facebook is full of great videos — funny clips, news, tutorials, and memories shared by friends and pages. But Facebook does not give you a download button. This guide shows you exactly how to save any public Facebook video to your device for free.
Why Download Facebook Videos?
There are many reasons to save Facebook videos locally. You might want to keep a precious family memory, save a useful tutorial, archive content before it disappears, or simply watch offline without using mobile data. Whatever your reason, downloading is quick and easy with the right tool.

Download Facebook Videos on iPhone
On iPhone, open Safari and go to VidSave. Paste the Facebook video URL and tap Download. When the download link appears, tap and hold it, then select Download Linked File. The video saves to your Files app where you can then move it to your Camera Roll.

Can I Download Private Facebook Videos?
No. VidSave can only download videos from public Facebook pages and profiles. Videos set to Friends Only or Private require login authentication and cannot be accessed by any third-party downloader. This protects users privacy.
Tips for Best Results
- Use the full video URL — make sure you copy the direct link to the video, not the page
- Public content only — the video must be publicly accessible
- Choose HD — select the highest quality for the best viewing experience
- Respect copyright — only download content you have rights to use
