How to download a Facebook video in HD
Copy the video link
Open the video on Facebook, choose Share, then Copy link.
Paste it above
Put the link in the box at the top of this page and press Download.
Press Download HD
When Facebook has an HD version, the first button is Download HD (MP4). The file saves directly from Facebook’s servers.
What “HD” means for Facebook videos
Facebook stores every video in several versions. Two of them are complete MP4 files with picture and sound together: a small SD file and an HD file, which is usually 720p. Those are the two buttons you see here.
Higher resolutions such as 1080p exist on Facebook only as separate picture and sound streams that the Facebook player joins while you watch. This tool does not join streams, so the HD button gives you the best ready-made file: sharp on a phone or laptop, and it plays everywhere without converting.
HD or SD: which one to pick
- HD is the one to keep. Text on screen stays readable and it holds up on a TV or in an edit. A one-minute video is typically a few megabytes to around ten.
- SD is far smaller, often a quarter of the HD size or less. Pick it on mobile data, or when you only need to forward the clip in a chat.
Both files have the same length and the same audio track. Only the picture resolution differs.
Why the HD button is sometimes missing
If you only see one button, Facebook has no separate HD file for that video. The usual reasons:
- The original upload was low resolution. A video recorded or exported at 480p or below is never upscaled by Facebook.
- The video is very new. Facebook publishes the SD version first and finishes the HD version later. Try again in a few minutes.
- It was a live stream. Recordings of live broadcasts keep the quality of the stream, which is often lower than an uploaded file.
Getting the best quality when you post
If you are saving your own videos, the quality of the download can never exceed what Facebook kept from your upload. In the Facebook app, open Settings, then Media, and turn on the option to upload videos in HD. Without it, the app compresses videos before sending them, and the HD version you download later will be softer than your original.
Questions and answers
Can I download Facebook videos in 1080p?
This tool downloads the HD file Facebook provides as a single MP4, which is usually 720p. It does not download the separate 1080p stream.
Does the HD download include sound?
Yes. The HD file is a normal MP4 with video and audio together.
Is the HD version re-encoded by this site?
No. You receive the file exactly as Facebook stores it. Nothing is converted and no watermark is added.
Why is my HD download blurry?
The download matches what Facebook has. If the uploader posted a low-quality video, or the app compressed it during upload, the HD file will show that.
How large is an HD Facebook video?
It depends on length and content. As a rough guide, expect a few megabytes per minute. The SD file is much smaller.
Does this work for Reels in HD?
Yes. Paste a reel link the same way, or use the Facebook Reel downloader page.
Can I download private videos in HD?
No. Only videos that are visible without logging in can be downloaded, in any quality.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit on the number of downloads.
