2. Paste the reel URL into the F4Facebook reels downloader.
3. Generate the available MP4 result and save it with your browser's download controls.

## Common questions

### Which Facebook reels can this downloader process?

Only reels that are publicly viewable without a Facebook login. Friends-only, deleted, age-restricted, or region-restricted reels remain unavailable.

### Why can a reel URL be recognized but still fail?

Recognition confirms the link format, not the reel's visibility. The underlying reel still has to remain public and available when F4Facebook checks it.

## Which reels work?

A reel must be publicly viewable without a Facebook account. Copy its link from the Share menu rather than copying text from the caption.

If a reel is friends-only, deleted, age-restricted or region-restricted, F4Facebook cannot bypass that restriction. See [reel troubleshooting](https://f4facebook.com/help#reel-not-detected) or the detailed [reel link detection guidance](https://f4facebook.com/facebook-video-not-downloading#reel-not-detected).
