Most Facebook downloaders hand you the small standard-quality file. This Facebook HD video downloader goes for the best version Facebook keeps for each video — often 720p, and up to 1080p when the uploader posted in that quality — so text stays readable and faces stay sharp on a big screen.
On this page the HD button comes first. If a video has no HD version, the standard file is the best Facebook has, and you get that instead. Every HD download includes the original sound.
Facebook stores many HD videos in a format (VP9) that iPhone, iPad and Mac can’t play. When you download HD on an Apple device, we convert it to the widely supported H.264 format automatically, which takes a few seconds — on Android and Windows the file downloads straight away.
Use it to keep tutorials, sports clips, music performances, product demos or family videos in high quality, or to edit them in CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve without the blur of a screen recording.
Like everything on this site, the FB HD video download is free, needs no app and never asks for your Facebook login. Paste the link, check the thumbnail, and save the HD file.
Searching for a Facebook video downloader in 4K? Resolution depends on what the uploader posted: most Facebook videos top out at Full HD 1080p, while some creators upload in 2K or 4K. Whatever the best version is, the HD button finds it — you never get a file that is smaller than what Facebook actually has.

Is it safe to download Facebook videos in HD?
Yes. The HD downloader works without a login or an app, and it never touches your Facebook account. HD files are kept for a few hours so a second download is instant, then deleted automatically.
High quality makes a video easy to reuse, but it still belongs to its creator. Keep HD downloads for personal viewing, and ask permission before you post or publish someone else's video.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download Facebook videos in HD?
Paste the video link on this page and tap HD. You get the best quality Facebook keeps for that video, with sound.
Why does HD take longer on iPhone?
Facebook stores many HD videos in VP9, which Apple devices can't play. We convert them to H.264 for you, which takes a few seconds depending on the video length.
Can a 4K downloader download Facebook videos?
Only if the video exists in 4K on Facebook. Our HD download always picks the highest resolution available — 4K, 2K or Full HD 1080p — so a separate 4K tool gives you nothing extra.
How can I view Facebook videos in HD quality?
In the Facebook app, open the video settings (gear icon) and choose HD; to keep it, download it here with the HD button so it plays in HD offline as well.
Is the HD video 1080p?
Often 720p, and up to 1080p when the uploader posted in that quality. The file always matches the best version Facebook has.
Why is there no HD button for some videos?
Facebook doesn't keep an HD version of every video. The standard Video file is then the best quality available.
Is the sound included in HD downloads?
Yes, every HD download includes the original audio.
Are HD files bigger?
Yes, usually several times larger than the standard file. Use Wi-Fi for long HD videos.
Can I download long Facebook videos in HD?
Yes. Long videos simply take longer, especially on Apple devices where they are converted.
Can I download private videos in HD?
Yes, with the private video downloader: paste the page source of a video you can watch while logged in and choose HD.
Can every video be downloaded in 1080p?
Only if the uploader posted it in 1080p and Facebook keeps that version. Otherwise HD gives you the best resolution Facebook has.
