Facebook Reels downloader: save a reel as MP4 or MP3
Paste the link of a public Facebook reel and you get the MP4 Facebook plays, vertical, with its sound, and an MP3 of the audio on the row below. The file Facebook's player loads has no logo added, and we add none. Reels that only friends can see stay out of reach.
- Vertical 9:16 kept
- HD when Facebook made it
- MP3 row under the MP4
From a reel's Share button to an MP4
Copy the reel link
In the Facebook app, open the reel and tap the Share arrow on the right edge of the screen, then Copy link. Depending on where you tap, you get a facebook.com/reel/ link, a facebook.com/share/r/ link or a short fb.watch one.
Paste it in a real browser
Open Safari or Chrome yourself and paste the link in the box above. Facebook's built-in browser opens when you tap a link inside the app, and it has nowhere to save a file.
Pick MP4 or MP3
Download MP4 gives you the reel itself, upright and with sound. Download MP3, on the second row, gives you only the audio, named facebook_ plus the id or code in your link.
Any of these links opens the same reel

One reel: MP4 in 9:16 with sound, HD when Facebook made it, and an MP3 at 128 kbps
Three links, one reel
The Facebook app hands out three link shapes for the same reel: facebook.com/reel/ followed by a number, facebook.com/share/r/ followed by a short code, and fb.watch links when you share to WhatsApp or Messenger. All three lead to the same reel. The file comes back named facebook_ plus the id or code in the link you pasted, with .mp4 or .mp3.
A link copied from the feed sometimes points to the post around the reel rather than to the reel itself. If the result says it found nothing, open the reel full screen, tap Share there and copy the link again.
HD or SD: what Facebook keeps for a reel
Facebook keeps an SD copy of a reel and, when the upload allowed it, an HD copy. We always ask for the HD one first. The result shows no resolution label, because Facebook's file doesn't carry one; your player's info panel tells you after the download.
Watermarks on Facebook reels
Facebook reels come without a platform watermark in the file the player loads, and we add no frame, no text and no logo. What you can't remove is a mark that is part of the picture, such as a TikTok handle bouncing around a clip the creator downloaded from TikTok and re-posted. No tool that only receives a link can paint that out without cropping the frame.
If you need a clean copy of such a clip, look for the creator's original upload on Facebook; it is often posted as a normal video on their page.
Private reels and the quick test
Facebook serves a reel shared with friends, or posted by a profile that isn't public, only to a signed-in session. Our server has no session, so for those reels the result says it got nothing back.
The check takes a few seconds: paste the reel link into a private browser window. If the reel plays without a login prompt, it will download here.
What a Facebook reel download comes with
| Video | One MP4: the HD rendition when Facebook generated one, SD otherwise; vertical frame and sound as posted |
|---|---|
| Audio | MP3 at 128 kbps, converted once from the reel's sound |
| Links | facebook.com/reel/..., facebook.com/share/r/..., fb.watch/... |
| Watermark | None added by Facebook or by us; logos burned in by the creator stay |
| Who can see it | Public reels only; friends-only and private profiles fail |
Where a saved Facebook reel ends up on each device
- On iPhone
- Open isaveall in Safari rather than in the browser inside the Facebook app, which may not keep downloads. The reel lands in Files › Downloads, still vertical, and Share › Save Video sends it to Photos.
- On Android
- Chrome stores the reel in the Download folder, and Google Photos or your gallery lists it shortly after.
- On PC and Mac
- The MP4 comes straight from Facebook's CDN, so it opens in a new tab: right-click the video and choose Save video as. The MP3 row is built on our server and downloads directly.
Facebook reel questions, answered
Do Facebook reels download without a watermark?
Yes. The file Facebook's player loads has no logo added, and we add nothing, so the MP4 is the reel as Facebook plays it. If you see a TikTok handle or another app's logo inside the picture, the creator exported the clip with it before posting, and it is part of the image.
Why is my reel SD and not HD?
Facebook only generated an SD version of that reel. We take the HD rendition whenever Facebook has one; when it doesn't, the SD file is the complete reel with its sound, and there is nothing sharper to ask for.
Can I download a reel from a private profile or one shared with friends?
No. Our server visits Facebook signed out, so it sees the same content unavailable page a stranger would, even if you can watch the reel in your app. Quick test: open the link in a private browser window. If it plays there, it downloads here.
Does a facebook.com/share/r/ link work?
Yes. It is the link the app copies from some screens, and it points to the same reel as /reel/ and fb.watch. Paste it as it is, tracking tail included.
Can I get only the song from a Facebook reel?
You get the reel's own audio as an MP3, which is the clip of the song the creator used, cut to the reel's length, not the full track. If Facebook muted the music in your country, the reel has no sound to extract.
Will the reel stay vertical on my phone?
Yes. The file keeps the frame Facebook stores, usually 9:16, so it plays upright in Photos or your gallery. Nothing is cropped, rotated or re-encoded.
Is it free, and do I need a Facebook account?
It is free and there is no account on either side: you don't sign in and our server doesn't either. If one connection sends a lot of links in a minute, a short automated check runs before the next result.
