  • 📡 Keep a copy of Facebook Live replays before they disappear

HD vs SD — Which Quality Should You Choose?

Quality Resolution File Size Best For
HD 720p / 1080p Larger (50–200MB) Saving memories, editing, TV viewing
SD 360p / 480p Smaller (5–30MB) Sharing on WhatsApp, saving storage

We recommend HD quality whenever you have enough storage. The file size difference is worth the sharper image — especially for videos you want to keep long-term.

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • 🔗 Use the direct video URL, not a shortened link — copy from the address bar for best results
  • 🌐 Make sure the video is set to Public on Facebook
  • 📶 Download on Wi-Fi to avoid using mobile data for large HD files
  • 🔄 If download fails, refresh the page and try again — sometimes Facebook temporarily restricts URLs
  • 🎵 Want only the audio? Switch to MP3 mode before downloading
