How to Download Facebook Reels in HD

Step by step

1
Copy the Reel’s link
Tap Share on the Reel, then Copy link. The link usually contains /reel/, and fb.watch links work too.
2
Paste it into FetchBolt
Open the Facebook Reels downloader and paste the link into the box.
3
Download the MP4
Tap Download. The Reel saves as a vertical HD MP4 with its sound.

Reels shared from Instagram

Many Facebook Reels are cross-posted from Instagram. If the Reel came from Instagram, pasting the Instagram link usually gives the best quality.

Where the file goes

On iPhone, Safari saves it to Downloads in Files; use Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos. On Android it lands in Downloads and your gallery, and on a computer in your Downloads folder.

The tool for the job

Everything above uses the Facebook Reels Downloader. Vertical MP4 in HD with sound, plus an audio-only MP3.

Questions

Can I get only the audio?

Yes, an audio-only MP3 is listed too.

Do private Reels work?

No. Only Reels anyone can watch can be downloaded.

Do I need to log in to Facebook?

No. FetchBolt never signs in to Facebook or asks for your password.
