SnapSave Unveils New Platform to Allow Users to Download Facebook Videos in 4K
The new online platform is compatible with all kinds of PC and mobile devices and lets users seamlessly download Facebook videos in various formats for free
April 21, 2022 – SnapSave is delighted to announce that Facebook users can now download their favorite Facebook videos and Facebook stories in 4k for free, thanks to its new online platform.
The SnapSave.app online platform allows users to save Facebook videos from profile feeds, pages, closed groups, and stories into the internal storage of their smart devices.
Ever since its inception in 2004, Facebook has grown from a simple social media app to become one of the most instrumental content distribution platforms in the world. With about 2.9 billion active users on the platform, the social media giant is home to the largest community of online users on the planet.
While Facebook allows users to upload content in text, picture, and video formats, it, however, makes no provision for people to save video files directly to the internal storage of their devices. At best, users can only share links of memorable video content to other platforms or save them on the platform’s built-in video library.
To circumvent this, many developers have created assistive software apps that allow users to bypass Facebook’s restrictions and save videos directly to their devices. But while these apps certainly get the job done, they are however unable to preserve the quality of high-resolution videos when transferring the files.
Built to be compatible with all kinds of mobile devices and personal computers, the new online platform serves as an impressive upgrade to traditional Facebook video downloaders that only manage to save videos in HD.
According to the developers, the SnapSave Facebook video downloader sets itself apart from all other options by allowing users to download videos in full HD, 2K, and 4K (mp4).
Without needing to download additional applications, users can simply copy the link of the particular video they’re interested in and paste the copied link in the provided field on the SnapSave platform. After selecting their preferred format, the platform’s server will process and provide a downloadable version of the copied video according to the chosen format.
Anyone interested in learning more about the platform’s mechanics or seeking to download Facebook videos in high-resolution formats can simply reach out to SnapSave via the contact information below.
