Method 3. How to Download Video from Facebook with Online Facebook Video Downloader

Applies To: Mac or PC

It's no doubt that downloading Facebook videos using online tools is quite convenient since it frees you from downloading and installing software or something alike.

However, using an online tool may cause many unwanted issues. As I have experienced, an online video downloader is always full of ads. Besides, when you click the "Download" button, you may be redirected to another unexpected page or some ads disguise as the "Download" buttons and confuse you.

If you still want to use an online video downloader, be ready for the ads and be careful not to click the wrong options.

There are many choices for you speaking of online video downloaders. Let's take FBDOWN.net as an example.

To download a video from Facebook:

Step 1.去to Facebook and sign in.

Step 2.Find the video you want to get and right-click it. Choose "Show video URL" and copy the URL.

Step 3.去toFBDOWN.netand paste the URL to the address bar.

Step 4.Click "Download Video in Normal Quality" or "Download Video in HD Quality" to start saving the video from Facebook to your computer. You can click "More Options" to check more video formats provided. (Don't click the "Download HD" or "Download 4K" option, these are ads.)

Generally speaking, an online video downloader will certainly work on a computer. Some of them may also work on mobile devices like iPhone/iPad and Android phones/tablets, while others may not, depending on the specific tool you are using. For example, FBDOWN.net also works with Android using Google Chrome.
