Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about downloading Facebook Reels and videos, troubleshooting, privacy and copyright.
Using the downloader
How do I copy a reel link in the Facebook app?
Open the reel, tap the Share arrow and choose Copy link. On the website you can also copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
Where are downloaded reels saved on iPhone?
Safari saves files to the Files app, in On My iPhone → Downloads (or iCloud Drive → Downloads). Open the video, tap Share and choose Save Video to add it to Photos.
Where are downloaded reels saved on Android?
Chrome and Samsung Internet save videos to the Downloads folder. They also appear in your Gallery or Google Photos under “Download”.
What is the difference between HD, SD and Audio?
HD (usually 720p) and SD (usually 360p) are complete MP4 files with picture and sound; SD files are smaller. Audio is just the soundtrack as an M4A file.
Can I download several reels at once?
Paste one link at a time. As soon as one download starts, you can paste the next link straight away.
Troubleshooting
It says the video is private or unavailable. Why?
The reel is probably private, limited to friends or a group, age-restricted, or deleted. Open the link in a private browser window while logged out; if you cannot watch it there, it cannot be downloaded.
The download link stopped working. What should I do?
Facebook download links are temporary. Paste the reel link again to get a fresh one.
The video opens in a new tab instead of downloading. How do I save it?
Use the Download button next to the format you want; it always saves a file. If your browser still opens the video, right-click (or long-press) it and choose Save video as….
I see “Too many requests”. What happened?
To keep the service fast for everyone we limit how many links one connection can process per minute. Wait about a minute and try again.
Privacy & legal
Is it legal to download Facebook Reels?
Saving public videos for personal, offline viewing is generally tolerated, but re-uploading or commercially using someone else’s content without permission can infringe copyright and Facebook’s terms. Always respect the creator’s rights.
Is FB Reels Downloader affiliated with Facebook or Meta?
No. FB Reels Downloader is an independent service by Downloaderize and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Facebook or Meta Platforms, Inc.
