Copy a public reel, watch permalink, or sharable Watch URL to capture MP4 (and optional MP3) while Meta still exposes the CDN.

Save Facebook video offline
- Open the reel/post outside the native app wrapper if possible.
- Long-press or use the browser menu → Copy link.
- Paste → Download. Try Video first, Audio if soundtrack matters.
- Because Meta rotates tokens, freshness matters — retry shortly if it expires.

Skip dodgy APK marketplaces claiming ‘HD unlock’ scams.
Cross-platform
macOS desktops to Safari iOS tabs — same downloader.
FAQ
Private groups?
Blocked — extractor must see the CDN without signing in.
Stories?
Ephemeral content usually fails unless still public.
Live broadcasts?
Not supported post-stream reliably.
Why intermittent failures?
Meta rolls API keys hourly; restarting the job often resolves it.
Multiple photos?
Gallery-dl kicks in after yt-dlp when albums enumerate.
Cookies needed?
If you run the backend privately, paste auth cookies according to yt-dlp docs.
Commercial reuse?
Get explicit license from creators.
Audio-only?
MP3 tab proxies transcoded AAC when available.
Does Meta track?
They see standard HTTPS fetches originating from whichever server fronts yt-dlp.
Guarantees?
None — social APIs churn weekly.
