How to Save Facebook Reels to Your Phone

To save a Facebook Reel, copy the Reel's link from the Facebook app, paste it into VideoDL at videodl.codjin.com, and download the MP4 to your phone. Unlike Facebook's in-app "Save", VideoDL exports the actual video file to your device — no app required, works on Android and iPhone.

3 Steps: Save a Facebook Reel to Your Device

1

Copy the Facebook Reel link

In the Facebook app, tap the three-dot menu (…) on the Reel and select "Copy Link". On Facebook.com in a browser, right-click the Reel → "Copy video address" or share → copy link. URLs typically look like facebook.com/reel/123456.

2

Paste into VideoDL

Open your browser and navigate to videodl.codjin.com. Paste the Facebook Reel link into the input box and press "Extract Media". The tool processes the link and fetches the video stream from Facebook's CDN.

3

Download the MP4 to your phone

Choose your preferred quality and press Download. The Facebook Reel saves as an MP4 file to your Android Downloads folder or iPhone Files app — ready to watch offline anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Facebook have a native Reels download button?
Facebook has a "Save" feature but it only bookmarks the Reel inside the Facebook app for later in-app viewing. It does not export the file to your phone's storage. VideoDL downloads the actual MP4 file to your device.
Can I download Facebook Reels from a private profile?
No. VideoDL can only access publicly posted Facebook Reels. Content from friends-only or private profiles is not accessible to third-party tools without authentication.
Why does my Facebook Reel link contain '/reel/' in the URL?
Facebook Reels have their own URL format: facebook.com/reel/[REEL_ID]. This format is fully supported by VideoDL. Copy the complete URL (including the reel ID number) and paste it into the tool.
Remember: Only download Facebook Reels you own or have explicit permission to save. Downloading others' content for redistribution without consent may violate Facebook's Terms of Service and copyright law.
