SaveFB.to is a website that allows users to easily download Facebook videos to their devices without installing any software. It supports downloading Facebook videos to all devices, including iPhones and iPads.

Note
- For high-definition (HD+) videos, Facebook doesn't allow downloading videos with audio, so SaveFB has to download them separately, then combine the video and audio into a complete video. This process takes some time.
- If you receive the error message "Video is private", go to and use the Download Private Facebook Video tool and follow the instructions to download the video easily easy.
