What FBGrab does
Reels are short vertical videos that Facebook serves in several qualities depending on your connection. FBGrab inspects the reel link, picks the highest progressive MP4 Facebook offers for it, and hands you that file directly rather than a screen recording.
- Open the reel in the Facebook app or on the web.
- Tap the share icon under the reel, then choose Copy Link.
- Paste the link above and press Download — fb.watch short links work too.
- Play the preview to confirm it is the right reel, then pick HD or SD.
- The vertical MP4 is saved to your device with its audio track intact.
What works
- Public reels from profiles and pages, including reels shared to a feed
- Short fb.watch links and full facebook.com/reel links
- The original vertical resolution with the audio track included
What does not work
- Reels from private profiles or reels limited to a custom audience
- Reels that were deleted, or that only open after you sign in
- Removing music or captions that are part of the video itself
