From link to file
- Open the public video on Facebook and use its Share menu to copy the link.
- Paste the link above and select Find video. Lookup does not start a video download.
- Choose an available quality and select Save MP4. If the browser cannot use that method, open Other ways to save.
- Check your browser’s downloads, open the file and check its picture and sound.
Choose what the source actually offers
SD and HD appear only when the source supplies suitable complete MP4 files. A video may have one quality or no supported option; VidTote does not create a higher resolution or merge separate tracks.
A source’s audio information is not a playback test. If sound is unknown, the result says so. Open the file after saving to confirm that it plays with sound.
Public videos, without a login
Public watch, video, Reel and supported share links can be checked. Private posts, content requiring a login, Stories, photo posts and live broadcasts in progress are outside this tool’s scope.
If an fb.watch link expires or leads to a login loop, copy the full Facebook video URL. VidTote does not ask for your account, cookies or password.
Your browser handles the video
The link is sent to VidTote to look up public metadata. The video file travels directly from Facebook’s CDN to your browser; this server does not download or relay the video.
Browser download, system sharing and opening the file are alternative paths. None guarantees a file has reached your gallery or Photos. Follow the guide for your device.
Questions
Can every Facebook video be saved?
No. The video must be publicly accessible and have a supported complete MP4. Access restrictions, removed content or changes at the source can prevent lookup or saving.
Does clicking Save mean the file is on my device?
No. Check the browser’s download list and open the file. Even a completed byte stream does not prove that the operating system saved it or added it to a gallery.
