How to Download Facebook Videos & Reels in HD and 4K (Free, No Sign-Up)

If you create videos for Facebook, you already know the pain: you upload a Reel, Facebook compresses it, and later you want the original back — or you just want to save a public video to watch offline. Downloading from Facebook directly is not really an option, so I built a small tool for it.

Full disclosure: I run FB4KDownloader — a free online Facebook video downloader. No sign-up, no app to install, and it works in any browser.

How it works

Copy the link of a public Facebook video or Reel (Share → Copy link).
Paste it into FB4KDownloader.
Pick your quality: 1080p Full HD, 720p, upscaled 4K, or extract just the audio as MP3.
Download. No watermark is added.

A quick note on responsible use

FB4KDownloader is meant for personal backups — your own uploads, and public content you have a legitimate reason to keep offline. It does not bypass Facebook logins or privacy settings, and it can't (and shouldn't) grab private content you don't already have access to. Please respect creators' rights and Facebook's terms: if it's someone else's video, get their permission before reusing it anywhere.

Privacy-first by design

There is no account system at all. You paste a link, the video is processed, and you download it — video URLs and media are not retained on the server. That's the whole product.

If you save Facebook videos often, give it a try: fb4kdownloader.com — feedback is very welcome in the comments.

How to Create a QR Code With Your Logo — Free, No Sign-Up, No Watermark

Most QR code generators follow the same script: the tool looks free, you design your code, and then the download page asks you to create an account — or worse, the "free" code is dynamic, stops working after a trial, and your printed flyers are suddenly useless.

It doesn't have to work that way. A static QR code holds the destination directly in its pattern. There is no redirect server in the middle, nothing to expire, and nothing that needs a subscription. In this guide I'll walk through creating a branded QR code with a logo — the rules that keep it scannable, and the print mistakes to avoid.

The tool used in this walkthrough is MyLogoQR, a free generator that runs entirely in your browser. No sign-up, and because everything is generated on your device, nothing you type — including Wi-Fi passwords — is uploaded anywhere.

Why a logo doesn't break the code

QR codes carry spare data called error correction. When a logo covers part of the pattern, the scanner rebuilds the missing pieces from that spare data:

Level L recovers up to 7% — fine for plain codes, no logo
Level M recovers up to 15% — tiny logos only
Level Q recovers up to 25% — the sweet spot for most logos
Level H recovers up to 30% — large logos and outdoor prints

In practice, a logo covering about a fifth of the code's width scans reliably on almost any phone. Push it past 30% and older phones and dim lighting start to fail. MyLogoQR defaults sensibly here, but it's worth knowing why the limits exist.

Step by step

Pick the QR type first. A website link, a WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled message, Wi-Fi credentials, a contact card (vCard), or plain text. The type decides how the phone interprets the scan — a tap should open the right action immediately.
Enter your content, then test it. A printed code can't be edited. Open the link yourself before you export anything.
Upload your logo. Keep it centered and near 20–25% of the code size, and never let it touch the three big corner squares — those are what scanners lock onto first.
Pick colors with real contrast. Scanners look for a dark pattern on a lighter background. Navy or deep green on white scans as reliably as black. Yellow on white, or an inverted light-on-dark design, is where failures start. A dark-enough gradient is fine.
Download PNG or SVG. PNG (1000 × 1000) is right for screens, slides and social posts. SVG is a vector that stays sharp at any size — use it for signs, packaging and anything a printer will touch.

Print rules that save reprints

Size: keep at least 1 cm of QR width for every 10 cm of scanning distance. A window code read from two metres away should be at least 5 cm wide.
Quiet zone: leave a blank margin of about four modules (the small squares) around the code. Cropping it is a classic silent killer.
Surface: avoid curved or glossy placements that reflect light into the camera.
Test like a customer: scan the final print with two different phones, once in daylight and once indoors, before the big print run.

The private-by-default bit

Because MyLogoQR draws the code inside your browser, your data never passes through a server. That's a meaningful difference for Wi-Fi and contact codes: the password exists only in the printed pattern and on your guests' phones. (One caution that applies to every QR tool: anyone who scans a code can read what's inside it, so never encode a secret you wouldn't print on the poster itself.)

Try it

If you've been paying a subscription just to keep printed QR codes alive, static codes are the free route out. You can make one in under a minute here: MyLogoQR — Free QR Code Generator with Logo
