I need a FB video downloader that support HD videos, any suggestion?
Once I saw a high-definition documentary clip on Facebook and wanted to download it for my collection. But I looked for several online facebook video downloader tools at the time, but the video was either blurry or the download speed was limited, which was really annoying. Later, I researched and found that I could actually download Facebook videos using the browser developer tools, and they were original high-definition files, without installing any software at all!
The method is actually very simple. I did it in Chrome:
- Open the Facebook video, then press F12 (or Ctrl + Shift + I), and the developer tool interface will pop up.
- Switch to the "Network" option, then click "Media", the page will be blank at this time, but don't worry.
Play the video, and you will see an MP4 link appear! - Right-click to copy the link, paste it into a new tab, and open it directly. Then right-click > Save As, and you can download the high-definition MP4.
The whole process takes no more than 1 minute. The key is that the quality of the downloaded Facebook video is original, without compression, which is much better than most download tools! I have been using this method since then and it has basically helped me with most Facebook videos. I recommend you give it a try.
