HD Reels with sound

Facebook often stores the HD picture and the sound of a Reel as two separate streams, which is why some tools save a silent clip. We download both and merge them into one MP4, so every HD Reel keeps its audio. If only SD is listed, the Reel was uploaded in standard definition.

Every Reel link format

Reel links from the app (facebook.com/reel/ID), fb.watch short links, and Reels shared from a Page or profile all work. Paste the link as it is; tracking text is removed automatically.

No watermark added

We never add a logo or watermark. The file is the Reel exactly as Facebook serves it, in its original vertical size, so it plays well on phones and can be cut in any editor.

Public Reels only

Reels from private profiles, closed groups and friends-only posts need a login, so they cannot be downloaded. Download Reels for personal use or with the creator's permission, and credit them when you share.

Only download content you own, that is licensed for download or that is in the public domain. See our Terms of Service.

Troubleshooting Facebook Reels downloads

It may be friends-only, in a private group, or deleted. Open the link in a private browser window; if it asks you to log in, it cannot be downloaded.
Only SD is offered
The Reel was uploaded in standard definition, so there is no HD copy.
The file will not open in Photos
Download the MP4 option and use Save Video from the Files app.
The link opens the Facebook home page
Copy the link again from the Share button of the Reel itself.

Tips for saving Facebook Reels

  • Use the Share button in the app to get a clean Reel link.
  • Pick HD if you plan to edit or re-upload with permission.
  • Use the Audio tab to keep only the music or voice-over.
