How to Download Facebook Subtitles & Captions (Step-by-Step)
Want to know how to download a video from Facebook comments? Savevids reads the comment video URL the same way Facebook's web player does, and saves it as an MP4 with subtitles if available. No app, no login, no install. The file lands in your Downloads folder in seconds.
If you are looking up how to download a video from Facebook comments, the cleanest path is a browser-based downloader like Savevids. Facebook does not expose a save button for videos people drop inside comment threads, but the URL of the comment video is still a public video URL that Savevids can read. You skip the desktop app, the browser extension, and the bundled offers.
This guide covers how to download a video comment from Facebook, how to download a Facebook post and comments, how to download a Facebook comment video, and how to download a video from a Facebook comment. The same workflow also handles Facebook subtitles and captions when the source video has them, with no extra steps.
Step-by-step
- 1
Open the Facebook post with the comment video
On your phone or computer, open Facebook in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, or any modern browser. Find the post that has the comment video you want to save. You do not need to sign in if the post is public, but signing in helps with posts shared inside groups or pages you follow.
- 2
Open the comment video in its own page
Click the video in the comment thread so it opens in its own page or its own player view. The goal is to get the video URL into the address bar of your browser, because that URL is what Savevids reads. If the video plays inline without opening its own page, right-click it and look for a Copy video URL option.

Copy the video URL from the address bar
Click the address bar at the top of your browser, press Ctrl + A on a desktop or tap and hold on a phone to select the entire URL, then copy. The full URL with the video parameter is what Savevids needs. Skip the share-sheet short link, which sometimes redirects in a way the parser does not follow.

Open savevidsapp.com and pick Facebook
Head to savevidsapp.com in a new tab in the same browser. Click the Facebook tile on the home screen, or open the Facebook video downloader page directly. No app, no extension, no sign-up. Paste the URL into the input box and click Download.

Save the MP4 and subtitles to your device
Savevids reads the page the same way Facebook's web player does and lists every format the source has. Pick HD MP4 for the best resolution. If the source video has subtitles or captions, Savevids lists them as a separate download. The MP4 and the subtitle file land in your Downloads folder in seconds.
How to download a video comment from Facebook
Facebook does not expose a save button for videos people drop inside comment threads, but the comment video is still a public video URL once it opens in its own page. Savevids reads that URL the same way Facebook's web player does, so the workflow is the same as downloading any public Facebook video.
Most users searching for how to download a video comment from Facebook want the web path, because Facebook's own interface does not offer a save-to-device option for comment videos. Savevids runs in any browser, takes the URL, and hands back the original MP4 Facebook served to its web player, with no re-encoding and no extra processing time.
If you are dealing with how to download a Facebook comment video inside a private group, sign in to Facebook first, then open the comment video in its own page and copy the URL. Savevids only needs the URL of a video that plays in your browser, so private group comment videos work as long as you can view them. The same flow handles comment videos on pages, profiles, and posts in your feed.
- Browser path: zero install, runs in any browser
- Same flow on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android
- Comment video URL works like any public Facebook video
- Private group comment videos work if you can view them
- Original MP4 handed back without re-encoding
How to download a Facebook post and comments
If you want to archive a Facebook post and its comments, the workflow is to save the post video first, then save each comment video separately. Savevids does not scrape an entire post and its comment thread in one go, because Facebook gates comment content behind a sign-in and a paginated loader. The clean path is to copy each video URL one by one and feed them to Savevids.
For a post with multiple comment videos, Savevids bulk mode accepts up to 30 Facebook links in one paste. Drop the post video URL and each comment video URL into the bulk input box, hit Download once, and the files land in sequence in your Downloads folder. The bulk mode is the right answer when a post has a lively comment thread with several videos.
If you also want the text of the post and the comments, copy and paste that into a notes app separately. Savevids handles video files only, not text content, so the text archiving is a manual step. The video files themselves are the original MP4 files Facebook served to its web player, with no quality loss and no watermark.
- Save the post video first, then each comment video separately
- Savevids bulk mode accepts up to 30 Facebook links in one paste
- Drop the post URL and comment video URLs in the same bulk run
- Copy post and comment text manually into a notes app
- Original MP4 files with no quality loss and no watermark
Facebook subtitles and captions: what you can download
When a Facebook video has subtitles or captions, Savevids lists them as a separate download alongside the MP4. The subtitle file is usually an SRT or VTT file, which is the same format YouTube and other platforms use. Drop the subtitle file next to the MP4 in the same folder, and most media players will load it automatically when you play the video.
There are a few hard limits. Auto-generated captions are sometimes only available inside Facebook's own player, in which case Savevids cannot pull them. Creator-uploaded captions usually work, because Facebook stores them as a separate file alongside the video. If the source video has no captions at all, Savevids has nothing to hand back.
- Subtitle files in SRT or VTT format
- Creator-uploaded captions usually work
- Auto-generated captions may not be available
- Drop the subtitle file next to the MP4 in the same folder
- Most media players load subtitles automatically
Troubleshooting Facebook comment video downloads
Most failures trace back to the link, the network, or the browser. Start by opening the comment video in its own page so the URL lands in the address bar, because the parser needs the full video URL. If Savevids shows an error, refresh the page and paste again.
Private group comment videos you are not a member of, age-restricted videos, and videos the creator has disabled downloads for will not work, because Facebook gates them at the source. Live comment videos only download after they end. For brand new comment videos, give Facebook a few minutes to finish processing, then try again.
On a slow or shared network, large HD files can stall before they finish. Switch to a personal hotspot or wait until you are on a faster connection. If your browser warns that the file might be harmful, you can allow it; the MP4 is the same file Facebook served to its own player. If the saved subtitle file shows as plain text, rename it to .srt or .vtt to load it in a media player.
- Open the comment video in its own page to get the URL
- Skip private group videos you are not a member of
- Wait a few minutes for brand new comment videos to process
- Switch to a personal hotspot on slow public Wi-Fi
- Allow the download if your browser warns
- Rename subtitle files to .srt or .vtt if needed
