Ever seen a great tutorial, a funny reel, or a must-try recipe on Facebook and wished you could save it to watch later, even without an internet connection? You're not alone. While Facebook doesn't offer a built-in download button, it's incredibly easy to save videos using a simple online tool. This guide will show you how in three easy steps.
Step 1: Find and Copy the Video Link
First, you need the unique URL of the video you want to download. The process is slightly different for desktop and mobile.
- On Desktop: Open the video. You can either copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar, or click the "Share" button below the video and select "Copy link".
- On Mobile: Tap the "Share" button below the video or reel. In the options that appear, find and tap "Copy link". This will save the video's URL to your phone's clipboard.
Step 2: Paste the Link into the Downloader
This is where our tool comes in. It does all the hard work of finding the downloadable video file for you.
- Navigate to the ToolBond Facebook Video Downloader.
- Paste the link you copied in Step 1 into the input box.
- Click the "Get Download Links" button.
Step 3: Save the Video to Your Device
After a few seconds, the tool will display the video's thumbnail and buttons for different quality options (like HD and SD).
Sometimes, clicking the button will start the download immediately. However, due to browser security, the video might open in a new tab instead. If that happens, it's an easy fix:
- On Desktop: Right-click on the video and select "Save video as...".
- On Mobile: Tap and hold on the video until a menu appears, then select "Download video" or "Save video".
The video will then be saved directly to your computer's "Downloads" folder or your phone's gallery.
