Download Facebook videos and reels
TubePull is a free Facebook video downloader for public videos and reels. Paste the link into the box at the top of this page and TubePull fetches the same video file Facebook's own player streams, at the best quality Facebook stored for it, instead of recording your screen.
Every common Facebook link shape works:
- Reels:
facebook.com/reel/<id> - Watch links:
facebook.com/watch/?v=<id> - Page videos:
facebook.com/<page>/videos/<id> - Posts that contain a video:
facebook.com/<page>/posts/…andpermalink.phplinks - Share-button links:
facebook.com/share/v/…,facebook.com/share/r/…andfb.watch/… - Links copied from the mobile site (
m.facebook.com) or theweb.facebook.comhost
Public Facebook videos need no login, no account and no browser extension. Facebook is a free-tier platform on TubePull: it is covered by the three-downloads-a-day free allowance, and the $4.99/month Pro plan removes the daily cap.
Quality
Facebook stores most recent uploads as a ladder of resolutions up to 1080p, with the audio kept as a separate track. TubePull lists the resolutions that actually exist for the video you pasted, then joins the picture and sound into one MP4. Older uploads often exist only as Facebook's "SD" and "HD" files, so the choice is shorter for those. Choose MP3 if you only want the audio.
Group posts and friends-only videos
Some Facebook videos are only shown to signed-in viewers: posts in groups, videos shared with friends only, and pages with age or region restrictions. Facebook doesn't send those to an anonymous request, so no downloader can fetch them without a signed-in session.
For those videos you can link your Facebook account once from your account page. TubePull always tries a download without your session first, and uses it only when Facebook asks for a sign-in. The session is stored encrypted, it is used only to fetch the video you asked for, and a file fetched with it is kept private to you. It is never served to anyone else who pastes the same link. Linking is free on every plan, and you can disconnect at any time, which deletes the stored session.
A linked session can only see what that account can already see. TubePull never uses it to like, comment, share or post anything.
What doesn't work
- Content your account can't see. TubePull doesn't get around privacy settings, group membership or any other access control Facebook enforces.
- Facebook stories, photos and photo albums. TubePull downloads Facebook video.
- Live broadcasts while they're still live. Try again once Facebook publishes the replay.
- Videos the uploader has deleted, or that Facebook has removed.
- Messenger attachments and anything else that isn't a public web link.
Downloading responsibly
Facebook videos are made by people who hold the copyright to them. Saving a public video to watch offline, archiving your own uploads, or keeping material you have permission to use is normal. Re-uploading someone else's video as your own, removing credit, or redistributing it commercially is not, and TubePull can't make it lawful.
See the safety page for how we handle requests and what we log, and is it legal to download videos for the wider legal picture.
Why TubePull instead of the ad-heavy Facebook downloaders
Most single-purpose Facebook downloaders, such as FDown and SnapSave, pay for themselves with interstitial ads, fake "Download" buttons and pop-up redirects. Here's how TubePull differs:
- No ads. No interstitials, fake buttons or pop-ups anywhere on the site.
- Real 1080p. You get the full DASH resolution ladder joined with its audio, not just the low-resolution "SD" file many tools fall back to.
- Share links just work.
fb.watchandfacebook.com/share/…links are resolved to the real video for you. - One account, every platform. The same free tier and Pro plan cover Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and more.
- Built on yt-dlp, the open-source extractor archival projects rely on. When Facebook changes its pages, upstream usually ships a fix quickly and we pick it up on the next deploy.
