FBDown

Without denying that multimedia streaming services are the main places where you can find a wide variety of information on a plethora of topics, sometimes you are likely to find a targeted or informative clips on social media sites as well. As the name suggests, FBDown is a small utility designed to help you grab private and public videos from Facebook.

Following a quick and uneventful installation, you are welcomed by a rather minimalistic and user-friendly interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles, regardless of your experience with similar tools. The GUI consists of a single window where you can paste the Facebook link of the video you want to grab.

The highlight of the tool stems from the fact that you can download clips without logging in with your Facebook credentials. However, you should bear in mind that this solely works for public videos and hence, you need to enter them when you are attempting to grab a video from a profile that is private.

In case you kept the video's link and it was removed in the meantime, then you can consider adding the cookie file to download it. Alternatively, you can use the cookie option when you want to get a video but do not want to enter your username and password.

The application does not come with advanced options and you can solely specify the download folder in terms of settings. In the lower section of the interface you can preview the progress of your download and you are going to get a download complete message once it is done.

FBDown is a simple and straightforward program that provides a quick way to download videos from Facebook with or without using your credentials.
