Facebook Downloader FAQ

Does curl-x work with Facebook Reels and Watch videos?

Yes — Reels, Watch videos, feed video posts, and shared /share/ links are all supported through the same paste box.

Can curl-x download private Facebook videos or groups?

No. Only videos on public pages and public posts are reachable; private groups, friends-only posts, and login-walled content aren't accessible, since curl-x never uses a Facebook account.

Why does Facebook's own app not let me save some videos?

Facebook's save button is often disabled by the uploader's settings, but the video is still served publicly through the page — curl-x reads that public link instead of relying on the app's save feature.

Does curl-x download Facebook photos too?

Yes, single photos and photo posts are extracted at full resolution alongside video support.

Will this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, it's a website, not an app — open it in any mobile browser and paste the link the same way as on desktop.

Is there a command-line option for Facebook?

Yes — curl -OJ https://www.curl-x.com/video/<id> (or the matching /reel/ or /photo/ path) saves the file directly from a terminal.
