❓ FAQ

🤔 Why is the resolution sometimes lower than requested? Facebook doesn't serve every resolution for every video. The Facebook Reels Downloader automatically falls back to the closest available quality.

🤔 Do download links expire? With KV Store ON → Never ♾️. With KV Store OFF → Facebook CDN links expire in 4–8 hours ⏳.

🤔 Can I process multiple Reels? ✅ Yes! Add as many URLs as needed. The Facebook Reels Downloader processes them sequentially.

🤔 Why is the video silent without KV Store? Facebook serves high-resolution video and audio as separate streams. This Facebook Reels Downloader merges them automatically when KV Store is enabled.
