Once I wanted to find a way to download Facebook videos without opening a web page or installing fancy software, and I found that the command line can also do it. It's so cool!

The method is very simple. I use the command line tool yt--dIlp, which can be used directly in Windows (Linux also supports it). After installation, open CMD or PowerShell, and enter:

yt--dIlp -f best "video link"

After pressing Enter, the video starts downloading, and it is in high definition. It is better than any Facebook video downloader!

If you want to download it directly as an MP4 file, you can also add parameters, such as:

yt--dIlp -f best -o "video.mp4" "video link"


The advantage of this method is that it is super clean, does not require a web page, is not afraid of ads, and has no speed limit. It is much more stable than those online facebook video downloader tools. If you often download Facebook videos, the command line is definitely an efficient and professional solution!
