Android makes file downloads easier than many mobile systems, which is great when you want to save a public Facebook video as an MP4 file. With FVideo, you can download supported Facebook videos directly from Chrome, Samsung Internet, Firefox, or another modern mobile browser. You do not need to install a separate downloader app. Just copy the video URL, paste it into the online tool, and save the file.
Facebook Video Downloader for Android
Step 1: Copy the Facebook Video URL
Open the Facebook app or Facebook in your browser. Find the public video or Reel you want to download. Tap the share button or the three-dot menu near the post and choose “Copy link.” Make sure you copy the link from the video itself, not from a comment, profile page, or search result.
Step 2: Paste the Link into FVideo
Open your mobile browser and go to FVideo. Paste the copied Facebook video link into the input field, then tap the download button. The tool will check whether the video is public and supported. If it is available, you will see one or more download options.

Step 3: Download the MP4 File
Choose the MP4 option and confirm the download. On most Android devices, the video will be saved to the Downloads folder. You can open it from your browser’s downloads menu, the Files app, or your Gallery app if the file is automatically detected.
Where Are Downloaded Facebook Videos Saved on Android?
Most Android browsers save files to the Downloads folder by default. You can usually find the video here: Files app → Downloads or My Files → Internal Storage → Download If the video does not appear in your Gallery, open it from the Files app first. Some Android devices need a moment to scan new media files.
Best Browser for Downloading Facebook Videos on Android
Chrome usually works well for online video downloads, but Samsung Internet and Firefox can also work. If one browser does not download correctly, try another browser before assuming the link is broken. Also check whether your browser has permission to save files to your device.
Why the Download May Fail
A Facebook video may fail to download if:
The video is private. The post is friends-only. The video is inside a restricted group. The link is copied from the wrong place. The video was removed. The video is region-restricted. Your browser blocks the download. Copy the full video link again and try pasting it into FVideo. If it still does not work, the video may not be publicly accessible.
