Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know about formats, security, and video availability.

Can I download Facebook Reels with VidVela?

Supported public reels can be checked. Only progressive MP4 with both audio and video can be prepared. Use content you own or have permission to save.

Why is the HD option sometimes missing?

Availability depends on the source. HD requires an eligible MP4 containing audio and video; separate tracks cannot be merged by this service.

Can I download private Facebook videos or private group posts?

No. VidVela does not use Facebook login cookies or bypass privacy controls, DRM, CAPTCHAs, or access restrictions.

Where are video files stored on my device once downloaded?

Your browser controls the destination, usually your Downloads folder. Check the browser download settings on your device.

Do you store video files on your servers?

The integration passes media bytes through without creating video files. Short-lived session and job references are used to control access.

What file format do downloaded videos use?

Supported downloads use progressive MP4. Audio conversion and separate audio downloads are not available.

What if my video link expires?

Paste the original Facebook link again and prepare a new job. Sources and processing jobs are temporary.

What content may I download?

Only download content you own or are authorized to save. Follow applicable law and the content provider’s terms.
