On Facebook, the Save video option doesn't download anything to your phone: it just adds the video to the Saved section of your account. If you want the video as a file, to watch it without internet or send it on WhatsApp, you have to download it. With Velotu it takes less than a minute.

- Tap Share and choose Copy link.
- Go to velotu.com/en/facebook in your browser.

Why isn't my video in HD?
Velotu downloads the versions Facebook stores for the video. If the creator uploaded it in low resolution, or Facebook only keeps an SD version, there's no HD copy to download. When there is one, we list it first.
Where to find the downloaded video
- Android: the Downloads folder, which you can see from the Files app and usually from your gallery.
- iPhone: the Files app → Downloads. Open it, tap Share and choose Save Video to add it to Photos.
On a computer
- Open the video on facebook.com. Click the post's date to open it on its own page.
- Copy the URL from your browser or use Share → Copy link.
- Paste it into velotu.com/en/facebook and click Download.
