How to Convert Facebook video to HD MP4? |

If you have seen a movie called “The Social Network”, then you will know that Facebook started out as a website for Harvard University students around 2004. Back then, the social media struggle was real, Facebook started small but with time it evolved and is now bigger than ever before. In the present day, Facebook is one of the biggest services where people consume media, particularly photos, music and videos. If we look at video sharing, some credible sources like SocialBakers say more people are sharing videos on Facebook than on YouTube such that even popular brands are using it as a marketing channel. You may have seen a lot of videos you like on Facebook, but one thing that you may have discovered is that you cannot download them. This is because of Facebook’s copyright protection policies which can be a bummer especially if you really want to download videos. The good news is we have solutions that can make it very easy and possible for you to download and convert Facebook videos to HD MP4 or other formats of your choice.
