How to download a Facebook Reel
Open the Reel in the Facebook app, tap the share icon (the arrow or paper-plane on the right of the clip) and choose Copy link. On a computer, click the Reel's three-dot or share button and pick Copy link, or copy the URL from the address bar. Paste the link into the box at the top of this page and press Download.
A moment later the Reel comes back as an MP4 with its sound already included, in 720p HD whenever Facebook has an HD copy. On a computer and on Android the file lands in your Downloads folder; on iPhone it saves through the share sheet into the Files app. Nothing to install, no account to create.
Why the Facebook app won't save a Reel to your phone
Facebook's app has a Save reel option in the three-dot menu, but it only bookmarks the Reel to your Saved collection inside Facebook — it doesn't put a video file on your phone, and if the creator deletes the Reel your saved copy vanishes too. The only in-app alternative is a screen recording, which captures the buttons and caption along with the video, drops frames and re-compresses the picture. Pasting the link here skips all that and gives you the original source file, full-frame and full quality.
What you get: an HD MP4 with the Reel's sound
Reels are short vertical clips — up to about 90 seconds — and they download in that same portrait shape as one MP4, in 720p HD whenever Facebook has an HD copy. There's no quality menu, no WebM and no separate audio button; you paste a link and get one file, with the sound in it.
Most Reels are built around a music track or trending sound, and that audio is baked into the video Facebook serves, so it comes through in the MP4 exactly as it plays in the app. Facebook also streams a Reel's picture and sound as two separate tracks — which is why raw downloads elsewhere can play silent — so this tool takes Facebook's ready-to-play MP4, which has both in one file. It saves the video with its sound, not a standalone MP3 of the song.
Which Reel links work, and which don't
The tool takes Facebook's standard Reel link shapes: a direct Reel URL (facebook.com/reel/…), a share link (facebook.com/share/r/…) and fb.watch short links, plus mobile m.facebook.com versions. Both the Reel's Copy link button and the browser address bar give you a URL in the right form.
What it can't reach is anything behind a login. Reels on private profiles or restricted to followers aren't served to the open web, so no link-paste tool can fetch them. A plain profile or Page address isn't a Reel link either — you need the URL of the specific Reel. If a link from another app won't resolve, open the Reel in a normal browser and copy the clean facebook.com link.
Why a Reel download fails
By far the most common cause is that the Reel isn't public: Reels on private accounts or limited to followers can't be fetched by any legitimate tool, because the file isn't on the open web. Any site claiming to unlock private Reels is overpromising or fishing for your password — never enter it.
The next causes are the wrong link — a profile URL, or a Reel that's since been deleted or taken down, which resolves to nothing — and quality: if a Reel comes back in SD or looks soft, Facebook only has a low-quality copy, and the tool can't add detail that isn't there. Copy a fresh link and check it still opens in a logged-out browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download a Facebook Reel?+−
Tap the share icon on the Reel and choose Copy link, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Download. You get an HD MP4 with sound in seconds.
Do downloaded Reels keep the music and sound?+−
Yes. The Reel's audio, including any music or trending sound, is baked into the ready-to-play MP4 Facebook serves, and that's the file the tool saves, so the sound comes with it.
Why isn't there a download button for Reels in the Facebook app?+−
Facebook's Save reel only bookmarks it inside the app — it doesn't save a file, and it disappears if the creator deletes the Reel. A web tool gets you a real MP4 you keep.
How do I save a Facebook Reel to my iPhone camera roll?+−
On iPhone the Reel saves through the share sheet into the Files app. Open Files, tap the MP4 to preview it, tap the share icon and choose Save Video to move it into Photos.
Can I download private or followers-only Reels?+−
No. Reels on private accounts or limited to followers aren't served to the open web, so no link-paste tool can fetch them. Only public Reels work.
Is it free, and do I need an account?+−
It's completely free — no signup, no app, no extension. You paste a public Reel link and get one download.
Is the saved Reel changed in any way?+−
No. You get the original file Facebook serves, with nothing added and nothing re-encoded.
Can I download just the audio from a Reel as an MP3?+−
No — you get the Reel as an MP4 with its sound included, not a standalone MP3. There's no audio-only or format option.
Why did my Reel download come out blurry or fail?+−
Blurry means Facebook only stored the Reel at that quality; a failure usually means it's private, deleted, or the link points to a profile. Copy a fresh link and check it opens logged out.
