How to Download Facebook Videos in HD
Facebook won't let you save a video from the feed, Reels or Watch — only “Save” it to bookmarks inside the network. Skachok downloads public videos and Reels as MP4 from a link — with no sign-in, software or extensions.
For example: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=…
How to download — step by step
- 1
Copy the video link
In the app, tap “Share” under the video → “Copy link”. On the website, click “…” in the top right corner of the post → “Copy link”, or open the video and copy the address from the browser bar.
Tip: The app usually gives a short fb.watch/… or facebook.com/share/v/… link — both work. It just has to point to a video, not a profile or group.

Paste the link into Skachok
Paste the link into the field on the home page and click “Find”. We show a preview and the available qualities — Facebook usually stores SD and HD (720p or 1080p) — plus an MP3 option.
Tip: If the service says “not found”, check that the video opens in an incognito browser window without signing in to Facebook — that means it is public.
- 3
Download the MP4
Pick a quality and click “Download”. The file is saved to your Downloads. Without an account — up to 720p and 3 downloads a day; signing up gives 5 a day and 2 days of Pro as a gift.
Tip: Facebook serves the HD version as separate video and audio streams — we merge them on the server, which takes a few seconds.
Why download videos from Facebook
A Facebook video lives inside the network: it won't open without an account, and the author can delete the post at any moment.
- Save a video from a family celebration or a community broadcast before the author deletes the post.
- Forward a video to people who don't use Facebook — in Telegram or WhatsApp.
- Watch without internet and without the feed around it.
- Use a fragment in your own content (with the author's permission).
Supported links
Any of these links will do — the full one from the browser or the short one from the app’s Share button.

On your phone and computer
On iPhone
In Safari, paste the link and tap “Download”. The file lands in Files → Downloads; to get it into Photos, open it and choose “Share” → “Save Video”.
On Android
In Chrome the MP4 is saved to the Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery.
On a computer
- Copy the address from the browser bar, paste it on skachok.com and click “Find”. The file is saved to “Downloads”.
- For 1080p and above we merge video and audio on the server — it takes from 10 seconds to a couple of minutes.
- If your player has no sound, open the file in VLC or pick another quality.
