Why Facebook downloads fail

Most failures are URL shape problems — feed scroll links, group posts you cannot view logged out, or expired fb.watch redirects.

PasteGrab needs a Watch or Page video permalink that plays in an incognito browser window.

Closed groups and friends-only videos are intentionally unsupported.

Copy a fresh link from Share on the video, not the address bar on facebook.com/home.

Open the link in Chrome incognito. If Facebook asks you to log in, PasteGrab cannot fetch the file.

Try Best quality if Smallest file produced a corrupt output. Long videos need the job tab open until complete.

fb.watch URLs work when still valid. If preview fails, open the video on Facebook and copy the Watch permalink from the share menu.

Page videos and Watch originals behave differently — always use the video-specific URL.

Facebook sometimes offers official download on your own uploads. Use PasteGrab for public links you are licensed to archive from other sources.

Open the Facebook downloader for platform FAQs.

FAQ

Why does fb.watch say unavailable?

The redirect may have expired. Copy a new share link from the Facebook app.

Can I download Facebook Live replays?

Only when Facebook exposes a public replay URL that plays logged out.
