How to Download Facebook Reels Without Watermark (Phone & PC)

4 min read · Updated November 2, 2026

Facebook Reels are short vertical videos, and saving one works almost exactly like saving a regular video. The trickiest part is usually finding the link.

1. Get the Reel link

• In the app: open the Reel, tap Share (the arrow on the right side), then Copy link.
• On a computer: open the Reel and copy the address bar. It looks like facebook.com/reel/1234567890.

2. Paste and download

Go to the Facebook Reel downloader, paste the link and tap Download. On a computer you can press Ctrl + V (or ⌘ + V on Mac) anywhere on the page.

3. Choose the quality

Reels are filmed vertically (9:16), so the saved file plays full-screen on your phone. Choose HD for the best picture.

Save the Reel to your gallery or camera roll

• Android (gallery): the Reel lands in Files › Downloads and usually shows up in the Download album of your Gallery and in Google Photos (full Android steps).
• iPhone (camera roll): open Files › Downloads, tap the Reel, then share › Save Video. It moves to Photos with your other videos (full iPhone steps).
• Windows and Mac: your Downloads folder (PC steps).

Is there a watermark?

No. Facebook doesn’t add a watermark to downloaded Reels, so you get the clean video file. Text, stickers or logos that the creator put inside the video are part of the picture and stay.

Can I save a Reel as MP3?

Facebook usually stores sound and picture together, so most Reels download as an MP4 video. If an Audio option appears in the results, tap it to save just the sound. Otherwise any free video-to-MP3 converter can pull the audio out of the MP4.

Reels shared from Instagram

Many Facebook Reels are cross-posted from Instagram. If a Reel won’t download from its Facebook link, find the same Reel on Instagram and use the Instagram Reel downloader instead. You’ll get the same video.

It didn’t work?

Reels from private profiles can’t be saved, and deleted Reels are gone for good. Check our troubleshooting guide for other fixes.
