HD or SD?

Facebook usually offers each video in HD and SD. HD looks sharp on any iPhone; SD is handy when storage is tight.

Which videos work

Public videos, Reels and Watch videos all work. Videos shared in private groups or only with friends can’t be reached, because FetchBolt never signs in to Facebook.

The tool for the job

Everything above uses the Facebook Video Downloader. MP4 in HD and SD when available, and the audio as MP3.

Questions

Do I need the Facebook app?

Only to copy the link. The download happens in Safari.

Can I save Facebook Reels too?

Yes. Use the Facebook Reels downloader, with the same steps.

Can I get just the audio?

Yes, from the Facebook to MP3 page.
