Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about downloading Facebook videos with VidFetch.
What is a Facebook video downloader?
It's an online tool that turns a Facebook video link into a downloadable MP4 file, so you can watch the video offline.
Which links are supported?
Links to public Facebook videos, Watch videos, Reels, videos shared in public pages and groups, and short fb.watch links.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your web browser on any device, with no app, extension or plugin needed.
Is there a download limit?
No. You can download as many videos as you like, free.
What format are the videos saved in?
Videos are saved as MP4, which plays on virtually every phone, computer, TV and media player.
Why is there no HD option?
HD is only offered when the uploader published the video in high definition. Otherwise SD is the best quality available.
Can I convert Facebook videos to MP3?
Not directly yet. Download the MP4 and use any audio converter to extract the sound.
Can I download live streams?
Only after the live broadcast has ended and been saved as a regular video on the page.
Why did my download link stop working?
Facebook's video links expire after a few hours. Paste the original video URL again to get fresh links.
Is it legal to download Facebook videos?
Downloading for personal, offline viewing is generally tolerated, but re-uploading or distributing someone else's content without permission may break copyright law and Facebook's terms. Only download videos you own or have permission to use.
Do you keep a record of what I download?
No. We don't store videos or keep a history of the links you submit. See our Privacy Policy.
