    There are so many facebook video downloader options out there and I spent hours to find a working one in 2025. In fact, many of them are not working anymore. AllClipDown is my favorite app for bulk download facebook videos in HD formats.

    I followed this guide (works great)

facebook-dl is a lightweight Python-based command-line tool designed to download videos from Facebook. It is an alternative to yct-dlp and eempeg, focusing specifically on Facebook videos.

Key Features of facebook-dl:

  1. Downloads public and some private Facebook videos.
  2. Supports HD (High Definition) and SD (Standard Definition) video quality.
  3. Works through simple command-line commands.

How to Download Facebook videos to Computer

Installation commands:

git clone https://github.com/sdushantha/facebook-dl.git
cd facebook-dl
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

How to download Facebook videos with it:

python3 facebook-dl.py [Facebook Video URL] [resolution]

Replace [Facebook Video URL] with the actual URL and [resolution] with hd or sd for high or standard definition. If no resolution is specified, it defaults to HD

For a more hands-on approach, you can create a simple Python script that extracts and downloads Facebook videos. This method involves parsing the video's page source to find the direct video URL. A detailed guide and script are available at Yasoob Khalid's blog

Note: Facebook's platform undergoes frequent updates, which can affect the functionality of third-party tools. Regularly check the tool's repository for updates or issues.
