About Facebook Video Downloader
When you download a Facebook video, Reel, or Story, you shouldn't have to worry about where your data goes. Facebook Video Downloader keeps everything local. No video data is ever uploaded to external servers, so your content stays on your machine from start to finish.
This local-only approach is perfect for saving personal memories, private group videos, or any content you'd rather not share with URL-paste tools. Every download is handled directly within your browser, using your existing Facebook login and permissions.
Set up is simple. Install the extension on Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Opera. Then browse Facebook as usual. Download buttons appear automatically on video players, letting you save files with author-and-date naming—all without a single upload.

Short, practical feedback from people using Facebook Video Downloader in real workflows.
Good for social media managers
I manage social media for several clients and need to archive their Facebook video content regularly. This extension grabs everything including Reels and Live replays with the quality I need. Batch mode is a huge time saver.

Story downloads before they disappear
The Story download feature is exactly what I needed. I save important Stories from community groups before they expire and having them as local files means I never lose valuable content.

Straightforward and dependable
Simple, clean, and reliable. The download button shows up right on the video player so there's no fumbling with menus or copy-pasting URLs. Group videos download just as smoothly as public ones.
