How to Download Your Own Facebook Video — Official Guide

Only download videos you own or have written permission to use. Facebook provides official ways to get your own videos back — use those, never a third-party ripper that downloads other people's content.

Method 1 — Your Page video (Meta Business Suite)

1. Open Meta Business Suite and go to Content.
2. Open the video you published.
3. Click the three dots and choose Download. You get the original file you uploaded, in its original quality.

Method 2 — Your personal videos (Download Your Information)

1. Facebook → Menu → Settings & privacy → Settings.
2. Go to “Your Facebook information” → Download your information.
3. Select Videos, choose the date range and quality, then request the file. Facebook emails you a download link when it is ready.

Method 3 — Embed instead of downloading

If you want a public Facebook video on your blog, do not download and re-upload it. Use our Facebook Embed Code Maker — the creator keeps the views and credit, and you stay legal.

What not to do

• Do not download other people's videos without permission — that infringes copyright and violates Facebook's Terms.
• Do not use “private video download” tools that ask for page source or login details — they are a security risk.
• Do not re-upload someone else's video as your own, even with credit in the caption.
