Facebook is full of all sorts of videos. You can find videos of animals, reviews and people doing some of the dumbest things ever. With millions of videos at your disposal, you’re bound to run into one you want to download.

Downloading a video from Facebook is not as hard as it may sound. All you need is an extension for the browser you’re using or a web app and the video you want to download. One extension on this list will even place the download button beside the video for an easy download.

Google Chrome

Social Media Downloader is one of the most popular choices when it comes to downloading videos from Facebook. You won’t have to go to a third-party site to download the videos. Look through Facebook videos like you normally would, and the download button will be to your right. Your video will be downloaded with a .mp4 file format.

FBDown Video Downloader works differently than the first option. For example, you’ll need to click on the Chrome extension icon, and you’ll see a list of all the videos it detects. Click on the one you want to download, and it’ll take you to its site where you can preview the video.
