Facebook video downloader
Paste a link to a public Facebook video post and ClipVault returns the best source file the platform is willing to hand an anonymous request, along with an MP3 of the same track. Private and login-walled posts cannot be reached at all.
- No sign-up
- No watermark
- No daily limit
How it works
- 01
Copy the link to a public post
Use the post's own link: open it, choose Share, then Copy link. Page videos, profile uploads and group posts all work as long as a logged-out visitor can watch them. A link that shows you a login screen will show the server one too.
- 02
Paste it and read what comes back
The parse usually returns exactly one video entry — MP4 best (source) — because Facebook publishes no resolution ladder to anonymous clients. What is listed is what the platform served; there is no hidden 1080p tier tucked behind it, so there is nothing further to choose and nothing left behind.
- 03
Download the source file
The server pulls that source with yt-dlp and passes it through untouched wherever it can; ffmpeg only steps in when the streams need muxing into a single MP4. No watermark is added, and no re-encode is applied for its own sake.

Questions about Facebook
Why is there only one quality option?
Because Facebook does not expose a rendition list to requests that are not logged in. There is no menu to pick from: the platform answers with a single progressive file. The page lists that one entry honestly rather than inventing tiers it could not serve even if you chose them.
Is the download 1080p?
We do not claim it. With no resolution metadata to read, the honest statement is that you get the best source Facebook serves to an anonymous request, and measured files land around the 720p class. Anything promising 4K from a Facebook link is guessing at numbers.
Can I download from a private group or my own feed?
Only if the post is public. A post that needs a session — friends-only, a closed group, an age gate — cannot be read without credentials, and ClipVault never asks for your Facebook login. Such links fail at the parse step, before anything is fetched.
Will the file carry a watermark?
ClipVault adds nothing. The MP4 is the source file Facebook delivered, so if a page burned its own logo into the upload, that logo lives in the pixels and remains. We do not crop it out, we do not cover it, and we do not paste anything on top.
Why does my Facebook link fail to parse?
Three usual causes: the post is not public, it was deleted or made private after you copied the link, or the URL points at a profile timeline rather than the post itself. Open the post first, use Share then Copy link, and parse that exact address.
Does it work on long uploads?
Up to two hours per video. Facebook is full of hour-long talks, panels and saved streams, so that ceiling matters more here than on short-form platforms. Longer files are refused before the transfer begins instead of timing out partway through.
Can I download a Facebook video on my phone?
Yes. Everything happens in the browser tab: paste the link, start the parse, and the MP4 arrives in the phone's downloads. There is no app to install and no account to connect, and the merge runs on the server, so the phone only carries the finished file.
Can I get just the audio?
Yes — the same link also returns an MP3 built from the source file's audio track. The Facebook to MP3 page covers that route in detail, including why the audio quality is bound to whatever the single source container actually carried.
Facebook is the platform where a downloader has to be most careful about what it claims. There is one source file, no public resolution list, and a visibility rule that decides everything before quality even comes up. Paste a public post link, take the source, and read the around-720p figure as a measurement rather than a promise. When a link will not parse, the post is almost always the reason, not the file size.
One link is all the Facebook downloader needs.
