How can I download videos from FB Lite?

Facebook Lite is a streamlined version of Facebook that is designed to run on slower internet connections and take up less space on mobile devices. While FB Lite doesn’t have all the same features as the regular Facebook app, it can still be useful for watching and saving videos.

Can I download videos directly in FB Lite?

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to download videos within the FB Lite app itself. FB Lite does not have the same “Download” button that you may see on videos in the regular Facebook app. So you’ll need to use a third-party app or website to download videos from FB Lite.

Using a third-party video downloader app

One of the easiest ways to download videos from FB Lite is to use a third-party video downloader app. There are many free apps available for both Android and iOS devices that will allow you to download videos from Facebook, including FB Lite. Here are some of the top options:

1. VideoDownloader for Facebook

VideoDownloader for Facebook is a popular app designed specifically for downloading videos from Facebook and Facebook Lite. To use it:

1. Install the VideoDownloader app on your Android or iOS device.
2. Open the app and log in with your Facebook account.
3. Go to FB Lite and navigate to the video you want to download.
4. Copy the URL of the video from your browser.
5. Paste the video URL into VideoDownloader.
6. Tap the download icon next to the video to start the download.
7. The video will be saved to your device’s storage.

2. FB Video Downloader

FB Video Downloader works similarly to VideoDownloader. After installing it:

1. Open FB Video Downloader and login to your Facebook account
2. Browse to the video in FB Lite that you want to download
3. Tap the “Share” icon below the video and select “Copy Link”
4. Go back to FB Video Downloader and paste the link into the search bar
5. Tap the download button next to the video

3. Documents by Readdle

Documents by Readdle is a capable file manager for iOS devices that also includes a built-in browser and downloader for Facebook videos. To use it:

1. Open Documents and go to the “Browser” tab
2. Navigate to the video in FB Lite that you want to download
3. Tap and hold on the video to bring up a menu
4. Select “Download Video”
5. The video will download directly into Documents

Using a Facebook video downloader website

Another option is to use a website designed to download Facebook videos. Here are some good choices:

1. SaveFrom.net

SaveFrom.net is a popular web-based tool for downloading videos from many major websites, including Facebook. To use it:

1. Go to SaveFrom.net in your mobile browser
2. Enter the URL of the FB Lite video and click Go
3. On the next page, click the download icon next to the video quality you want
4. Your download will begin automatically

2. FBDown.net

FBDown.net works similarly to SaveFrom.net but is designed specifically for downloading Facebook videos. Just paste the URL into FBDown.net and select your desired video quality to download.

3. FBLiteVideoDownloader.com

As the name suggests, FBLiteVideoDownloader.com specializes in downloading videos specifically from Facebook Lite. Paste the video URL, select a format, and click Download.

Saving videos on Android without third-party apps

For Android users, there is a way to download Facebook videos without installing any additional apps using only the built-in browser and file manager:

1. Open Chrome and go to the Facebook video in FB Lite you want to download
2. Tap the 3-dot menu in the upper right and select “Share”
3. Choose “Copy link”
4. Open your device’s Files app and navigate to the Downloads folder
5. Long press and choose “New” then “New text file”
6. Name the file something like facebook.html and tap “OK”
7. Open the text file you just created and paste the video URL into it
8. Tap the 3-dot menu and choose “Share”
9. Select “Browser” to open the link
10. Tap the 3-dot menu in Chrome and select “Download”

This will cause the Facebook video to be downloaded directly into your Downloads folder. It takes a few extra steps but avoids having to install another app.

Using a download manager

A download manager is a program designed to handle and accelerate downloads. Download managers can sometimes download Facebook videos that may be difficult to save using a browser or simpler downloader app. Here are some to try:

1. ADM

ADM (Advanced Download Manager) is a popular Android download manager with a simple interface. To use it:

1. Install ADM on your Android device
2. Launch ADM and tap the + button
3. Paste the link to the Facebook video and tap OK
4. Tap the download button next to the video to start the download

2. Internet Download Manager

1. Install IDM on your Windows PC
2. Copy the link to the Facebook video
3. In IDM, click “Add URL” and paste the link
4. Select the video quality and click OK
5. The video will start downloading automatically

Using video and audio conversion software

If you need to not only download but also convert Facebook videos into different file formats, you can use specialized video and audio conversion software.

1. WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe

WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe is a premium software for Windows that lets you download and convert Facebook videos into formats like MP4, MOV, AVI and others. To use it:

5. Select the desired output format and click Convert

Be careful not to violate Facebook’s policies

When downloading videos from FB Lite, be aware that downloading content you did not create may be against Facebook’s Terms of Service. Avoid re-sharing or otherwise using downloaded videos without permission from the creator. Downloading videos solely for your own personal offline use is generally acceptable under Facebook’s policies.

Conclusion

While FB Lite itself does not allow video downloads, there are many easy workarounds using third-party apps, websites and software. Options like VideoDownloader, ADM, SaveFrom.net and WinX HD Video Converter make it simple to save videos from Facebook Lite to your mobile device or computer so you can watch them later without an internet connection. Just be responsible in how you use the downloaded videos.
