I need a FB video downloader that support HD videos, any suggestion?
If you prefer not to use an facebook video downloader app, browser extension, or an online FB downloader, you can still download Facebook videos as HD video directly using your Chrome browser by following these steps:
Step 1: Open Facebook in your Chrome browser and navigate to the video you want to download.
Step 2: Right-click on the video and select “Copy video URL” from the menu. Alternatively, click on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the video post and select “Copy link.”
Step 3: Open a new tab in your Chrome browser. Paste the copied video URL into the address bar and press Enter. Now, in the URL, replace www with m. This will change the URL to the mobile version of Facebook.
Step 4: After the page loads with the mobile version, play the video. Right-click on the video and select "Save video as..." from the menu.
Step 5: Choose a folder on your computer where you want to save the video, and click Save. The video will begin downloading, and you can access it from your chosen folder once the download is complete.
Why This Works:
The mobile version of Facebook allows you to download facebook videos in HD quality directly, which is why switching to the mobile site in the desktop browser enables this functionality. You can then easily save the video by right-clicking and choosing "Save video as..." to store it on your computer.
This method doesn't require third-party apps, extensions, or online services—it's all done using just Chrome and Facebook.
