Find the originalof a Facebook video.
Facebook videos are reshared, re-uploaded and cut down until nobody knows where they started. Upload the video or paste the link and we find the other pages across the web that carry the same footage. $0.90 a search, no subscription.

We cannot open the link — it is private. Download or screen-record the video and upload the file; we then search its frames like any other video.
Do you search inside Facebook itself?
We search Google's web image index, which covers public Facebook pages it has crawled plus YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, news sites and the open web. Posts that only exist behind a login are not in it.
How do I know which copy is the original?
Unlock the matches and open them: each platform shows its own upload date. The earliest public upload is usually the source.
Why did the link fail?
Facebook changes often and blocks downloaders. When a link cannot be read we tell you so; uploading the file always works.
