Using a third-party application to download Facebook videos

A third-party application is the best choice if you frequently download videos. The Facebook extension allows you to store videos, but does not allow users to download videos to their PC. We can use a video uploader to upload any Facebook video without any problem. There are many applications that can help you download Facebook videos. We use the ones we have successfully tested to download Facebook videos.

  1. Go to the official Gihosoft TubeGet page and download the software.
  2. Install the software from the downloaded file and open it.
  3. Open the Facebook video you want to download in one of the browsers. Copy the URL link from the video page.
  4. Now go back to Gihosoft TubeGet and click on the “Insert + URL” button to insert the Facebook video link.
  5. A new window will open with different quality options for videos. Select your choice and click on the Download button.
  6. The video will start to be downloaded and after downloading, you will find it in your System Videos folder.

Using a website or online extension

There are many online sites that allow you to download a Facebook video without adding unnecessary software to your computer.

FBDown.net is a simple solution. Add the URL of the video copied above, paste it and click on Download.

KeepVid is another simple option. Same instructions as above!

GetFVid is for those times when you need to record a Facebook video that will be shared with a private group. And it’s easy!
