Some Facebook videos are only visible to friends, group members, or specific audiences. Our private video downloader lets you save videos you legitimately have access to using your own Facebook session.
How It Works
To download private videos, you need to prove you have legitimate access. This is done by providing your Facebook cookies - small text files that contain your login session. These cookies authenticate your access rights.
When You Need This
Use the private video downloader for:
- Friends-only posts - Videos shared just with friends
- Closed groups - Private group content
- Limited audiences - Custom privacy settings
- Your own videos - Your private uploads
Getting Your Cookies
Browser extensions like EditThisCookie or built-in developer tools let you export your Facebook cookies. We provide step-by-step instructions for popular browsers.
Security and Privacy
Your cookies are processed locally in your browser and never sent to our servers. We don't store, log, or have access to your Facebook credentials. The authentication happens entirely client-side.
Important Notes
Only use this for content you legitimately have permission to access. Respect others' privacy and don't share private videos without consent from the original poster.
