How to Download Facebook Videos and Reels (Free, 2026)

Facebook has no built-in option to download other people's videos to your device. You can save posts to your Saved collection inside Facebook, but that requires you to stay logged in and doesn't actually save the video file to your phone.

Here's how to download any public Facebook video or Reel as an MP4 file for free in 2026.
