FB Down
FB Down is a simple Facebook video downloader just like Downvids. Here you will only have to paste a link to get started. But apart from this, FB down also provides a very useful second method for downloading videos and content. Let us check both the approaches:
a) As per the first method you will have to copy the link of the video and paste it in the box on the web application. After that, you will have to press the download button. The application will take a few minutes for processing your request, after that on the next screen press the “download video in normal quality” button for saving it on your laptop or desktop. But do check the fake buttons before pressing any option.
b) As per the second method, you can try the FB down chrome extension. It will automatically detect any kind of video on the website that you are looking at, and provide a way to download it through an icon in the upper right corner of the browser. The best thing about this tool is that it easily works with videos on other websites apart from Facebook.

FB down is also the best and most reliable tool to download private facebook videos online. The problematic thing is that downloading private videos is not that simple as downloading public videos, so let us check out this process step by step:
- Go to the private Facebook videos that you wish to download
- Then copy the URL of this video by right-clicking on the video
- Go to FB down private video downloader app
- Then paste the URL that you have copied and click “Next”
- After this, the tool will provide you a link, copy the link and open it in a new tab
- Then select and copy all the texts
- Then paste it in the Page Source Box in the web application
- Lastly, click download
But make sure that you are using this tool ethically. This is because people make private videos for certain personal reasons, so make sure not to publish and exploit other users’ videos using this tool.
Save From
Save From provides both a chrome extension and a web application and you can use both of these to download videos from Facebook.
