Download Facebook video on iPhone — Safari workflow
Den här sidan finns endast på engelska.
Safari-first Facebook saves
iPhone users often hit App Store downloaders with subscription upsells. PasteGrab works in Safari: no profile install, no Facebook credential form, no extension.
Public Facebook videos — Watch pages, Page posts, and public group shares — expose permalinks you can copy and paste.
Private groups, friends-only posts, and Messenger attachments are not supported. Only save video you have rights to keep.
Keep a short checklist for repeat workflows: copy the freshest permalink, confirm public playback in a private browser tab, pick your format before preview, and store files with descriptive names tied to campaign or client codes. Signed-in PasteGrab users can cross-check past jobs in History when a stakeholder asks whether you already archived a clip.
Copy link on iOS
In the Facebook app, open a public video post. Tap Share → Copy link or Copy video link depending on iOS version.
Switch to Safari, visit PasteGrab, paste the URL, and tap Preview formats.
Select Best quality MP4 or a smaller preset if you need a quick reference. Queue the job when metadata looks correct.
Tap the download link on the completed job page and choose Save to Files or share to an edit app.

Troubleshooting iPhone errors
Login wall in Safari: if Facebook demands sign-in before playing, test the same URL in a private tab. PasteGrab cannot fetch what you cannot view publicly.
fb.watch short links: paste them directly — they redirect to the canonical video ID.
Low quality output: Facebook may serve adaptive streams. Try Best quality in preview or read facebook-video-quality-low-fix.
iOS download quirk: long-press the completed file link if Safari does not offer Save to Files automatically.

When to use History
Guests download without signing in. Owners who sign in can revisit completed Facebook jobs in History — helpful for recurring Page content archives.

Page admins archiving their own uploads should also keep camera-roll originals when possible — Facebook re-encodes uploads and generations lose quality. Use History when you sign in to match downloads to campaign dates.
