What is the difference between HD and SD on Facebook?

HD (High Definition) is usually 720p or 1080p resolution and offers better clarity but larger files. SD (Standard Definition) is usually 360p or 480p, which consumes less data and loads faster on slow networks.

Why does the checker fail on some Facebook links?

The most common reasons are that the video is private (restricted to 'Friends Only'), set to a custom audience, deleted by the publisher, or has country and age restrictions. VidSnap Pro only processes fully public content.

Do I need a Facebook account to check the public link?

No. VidSnap Pro works entirely in your browser without requiring you to log in or link your Facebook profile. Simply paste the public URL directly.

Does VidSnap Pro work on mobile for Facebook links?

Yes, VidSnap Pro is fully responsive and compatible with Android Chrome, Apple iOS Safari, and other modern mobile browsers.
