Supported Video Qualities & Formats
Vidmio retrieves public Facebook video streams directly from the content delivery network based on the resolutions made available by the platform:
- HD & SD Resolutions: When Facebook provides high-definition streams (such as 720p or 1080p), Vidmio lists them alongside standard definition tiers without artificial upscaling.
- Audio Separation (MP3): If you want to listen to interviews, lectures, or speeches, download the audio track independently as an MP3 file.
- Broad Playback Compatibility: Delivers standard H.264/AAC MP4 files ready for playback across mobile phones, tablets, and desktop media players.
How to Save a Facebook Video in 4 Steps
- Verify the Post is Public: Look for the public globe icon (🌍) next to the post timestamp. Posts marked with the friends icon cannot be processed.
- Copy the Link: Click or tap Share below the video and choose Copy Link, or copy the URL directly from your browser’s address bar.
- Paste into Vidmio: Paste the copied link into the downloader input field above and click Fetch Info.
- Choose Quality & Download: Review the thumbnail preview and creator name, select your preferred video resolution or audio track, and click download.
Supported Facebook URLs & Technical Boundaries
Vidmio is designed to work with public Facebook endpoints across desktop and mobile formats:
- Facebook Watch URLs: Links in the format
facebook.com/watch/?v=VIDEO_ID. - Creator Video Permalinks: Links containing
facebook.com/USERNAME/videos/VIDEO_ID/. - Short Mobile Links: Shortened URLs formatted as

Videos on Facebook belong to their respective creators and publishers. Vidmio does not host any user media and provides stream extraction strictly for lawful personal archiving, educational study, and fair use. Do not re-distribute, sell, or commercially use downloaded media without permission from the copyright owner.
