Can I download Facebook videos in HD (1080p or 4K)?
Yes. Pick Download HD Quality for the highest resolution Facebook offers for that clip - usually 720p or 1080p, and up to 4K when it was uploaded that way. Choose Low Quality for a smaller, data-friendly file.
Can I download Facebook videos as MP3 (audio only)?
For many videos and Reels you can keep just the sound as an MP3 - handy when you only want the music, podcast, or voice rather than the whole video.
Are downloads really without a watermark?

Do I need an app or to install software?
No. Oikosmist runs entirely in your web browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. There is no app, extension, or APK to install.
How do I download Facebook videos on iPhone or Android?
The steps match on every device: copy the Facebook video or Reel link, paste it here, and press Download. On Android the MP4 saves to Downloads or Gallery; on iPhone you can save it to Files or Photos.
Where do I find the Facebook video link?
On a Facebook video or Reel, tap the Share icon and choose "Copy link", or copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Paste that link into Oikosmist.
Can I download private Facebook videos?
No. Oikosmist only works with public Facebook video and Reels links. We never bypass logins, privacy settings, paid content, or DRM. Only download videos you own, have permission to use, or are legally allowed to access.
Is Oikosmist safe to use?
Yes. It's a browser-based tool with nothing to install, it never asks for your Facebook password, and it only handles public links. Always respect copyright and Facebook's terms when saving content.
Why is my Facebook link not working?
The link may be private, removed, region-locked, or not a Facebook video. Double-check that it's a public Facebook video or Reels link and try again in a moment.
