How to Download a Video from Facebook or TikTok Ads Manager

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of downloading videos from Facebook or TikTok Ads Manager. This can be useful if you want to use these videos on other social media platforms without managers, such as Facebook. We'll also explain how to download videos from TikTok, which can be a bit more complicated due to the absence of a web version of the platform.

Step 1: Downloading a Video from Facebook

If you are interested in downloading a video from Facebook, follow these steps:

Go to the ads section on Facebook and locate the ad that contains the video you want to download.
Click on the box that represents the ad to open a drop-down menu.
From the drop-down menu, select "Facebook post with comments" or "Instagram post with comments" if you prefer.
This will redirect you to the ad on Facebook. To download the video, you can use a Facebook video downloader tool. Search for a suitable downloader online and paste the link from the ad into the downloader's website. The video should then be available for download.

Step 2: Downloading a Video from TikTok Ads Manager

Downloading videos from TikTok Ads Manager requires a slightly different approach due to the absence of a web version. Follow these steps:

Access the campaign section on TikTok Ads Manager and locate the specific ad you want to download.
Click on the ad and select "Edit" to open the preview of the ad.
Right-click on the page and choose "Inspect" or "Inspect element" (this step is specific to Chrome browser).
Initially, only the image of the video will be displayed. To find the URL of the video, play the video within the preview.
After playing the video, inspect the page again.
Look for a link that represents the video. Double-click on it to select the URL.
Right-click on the URL and choose "Copy".
Open a new tab and paste the URL into the address bar.
The video should now be displayed. Click on the three dots in the player and select "Download" to save the video to your device.

Following these steps will allow you to download videos from both Facebook and TikTok Ads Manager for use on other platforms or personal purposes.
