How do I download a single Facebook video I posted?

Open the video on Facebook, click the three-dot (more options) menu, and choose 'Download' if it's available. This works for many videos you've posted. If the Download option doesn't appear, the full archive export is the reliable way to get your own videos, since it includes every video you uploaded.

What quality are downloaded Facebook videos?

Facebook compresses videos when you upload them, so the downloaded version reflects that compressed quality rather than your original recording. To get the best version Facebook has stored, select 'High' media quality when requesting your archive. For the true original, your phone or camera's own copy is always highest quality.

Can I download videos other people posted of me?

Facebook's export tool only includes videos you uploaded — not videos posted by other people where you were tagged. To save those, you can try the download option on the individual video if it's available, or ask the person who posted it to send it to you directly.

Use Facebook's 'Download Your Information' tool. Go to Settings, then Your Facebook Information, then Download Your Information.

Facebook emails you a ZIP file containing your videos as MP4 files alongside your photos — usually within a few hours to a couple of days.

A note on quality

Facebook compresses videos when you upload them, so a downloaded video reflects that compressed version, not your original recording. Selecting High quality gets the best stored version — but your phone or camera's own copy will always be the true original.
