Why use a private downloader?
Standard downloaders often fail when a video is posted in a private group or restricted profile because they cannot access the content without your session. By using the page source method, you provide the necessary metadata directly to our tool without ever sharing your login credentials.
How to Download a Private Facebook Video
Not every Facebook video is public — and that's where this tool comes in. If someone shared a video in a private group you belong to, or a friend posted something visible only to their connections, you can still save it for offline viewing. You just need to be logged into Facebook in the same browser so the tool can verify you actually have access.
For public videos, our standard Facebook video downloader is faster and simpler. For Facebook Reels, try our Facebook Reel downloader.
Can I download private Facebook videos I don't have access to?
No. Our tool can only download private Facebook videos that you already have permission to view while logged into Facebook. We respect user privacy — if you cannot see the video when logged in, our tool cannot download it.
How do I download a private Facebook video?
Log in to Facebook and open the private video. Copy the video URL from your browser's address bar. Paste the URL into our Private Video Downloader and follow the on-screen instructions to verify you have access.
Can I download videos from a private Facebook group I'm a member of?
Yes. If you are a member of a private or closed Facebook group and can view the video while logged in, our tool supports downloading it.
Can I download friends-only Facebook videos?
Yes. If a friend has posted a video visible only to friends and you are connected on Facebook, you can download it using our private video downloader — as long as you are logged into Facebook in the same browser.
Do I need to log in to Facebook to use this tool?
Yes. For private videos you need to be logged into your Facebook account in the same browser, as Facebook restricts access to private content.
Is it safe to use this private Facebook video downloader?
Yes. Our tool works entirely in your browser. We do not store your Facebook credentials, access your account data, or retain downloaded videos. Your login credentials are never shared with us.
Why does the tool ask me to paste the page source?
Facebook restricts direct access to private video files. Our tool uses the raw HTML (page source) of the video page to extract the download link. This data is processed locally and not stored on our servers.
Can I download private Facebook Reels?
Yes, if the Reel is set to a limited audience (friends only or specific groups) and you have permission to view it while logged in, our tool can download it.
Is downloading private Facebook videos legal?
Downloading a private video you have permission to view for personal use is generally acceptable. Redistributing or commercially using someone else's private video without consent may violate copyright law and Facebook's Terms of Service.
