FAQ about private Facebook video download
Is this private Facebook video downloader legit?
It does one thing: it reads the page you already have open and finds the video file inside it. You hand your Facebook password to nobody, and it only works on videos your own account can already see.
Why do I have to paste the page source?
Because a private video's file link is not in the URL. It sits inside the page Facebook builds for your logged-in session, so we need that page text to find it. A plain link is not enough.
Do you store the page source I paste?
We do not keep it. It is sent once to the service that extracts the video link, used to build your download, then dropped. Our server logs hold only the video URL and your IP address, like any web server.
Can I download a video from a private group?
Yes, as long as you are a member and can open the video yourself. Follow the same three steps with the group post link. If you cannot open the post, there is nothing to download.
What do I do if it does not work?
Check that you copied the whole page source, not part of it, and that the tab was logged in. Reload the video page, copy the source again, then paste it here.
F-Down.net runs over HTTPS, asks for no account and keeps none of the videos you download. The link you paste is written to technical logs with your IP address so the service can be kept running. Read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
