How To Download Videos From Facebook, Instagram & Twitter

Have you ever desired to save videos from social media websites? Maybe there is a Twitter video you want to download or videos from Facebook or Instagram that you’d like to keep? There is not a download button on these sites, but there are 3rd party tools that allow you to save videos from Instagram and other social networks.

Some of the Top-Rated Video downloader for Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are web apps, meaning that you do not need to download a program to your PC to use them. Please copy the link to the video you desire to save, afterwards paste it into the video downloader site to get the file (some even allow you to convert the video to an audio file format). All the techniques mentioned below work from a computer, but you can also use them to save videos straight to your phone or tablet. Although, depending on the device you have, you might need a new application that can handle file downloads. iPhone, for instance, can use Documents, MyMedia, or Files.

Note: Downloading a video from these sites means videos stored on the site, not linked elsewhere. For instance, if a Facebook post has a link to YouTube videos, you can’t use a Facebook video downloader to save it, then you need a YouTube video downloader instead.

Necessary: You should be aware of copyright laws in your country before downloading videos from Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. Only because a video can be downloaded for free of charge does not mean that it’s legal for you to take it.
