Frequently asked questions

Is this video downloader free?

Yes — completely free. No signup, no payment, no per-download fees. A light per-IP rate limit is the only restriction, to prevent abuse.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and uses your browser's normal download flow to save the file to your device.

What quality can I download?

Up to whatever the source platform serves. YouTube reaches 4K AV1 where available, Instagram Reels are typically 1080p, Facebook and X vary by upload. The Best quality (MP4) preset picks the highest-quality H.264 + AAC combination so the file plays in QuickTime, VLC, and every browser.

Which platforms are supported?

YouTube (videos, Shorts, Music), Instagram (public Reels, posts, IGTV), TikTok (videos and short share links like vm.tiktok.com), Vimeo (public videos including On Demand previews), Facebook (public videos and Reels), X / Twitter (videos in public tweets), Threads (public video posts), and Pinterest (video Pins and pin.it short links).

Can I download private or login-required content?

No. The tool only works with publicly accessible videos. Anything behind a follow request, age gate, or paywall will not extract.

Where do downloaded files go?

Wherever your browser saves downloads — usually your Downloads folder. The filename uses the original video's title.

Is downloading legal?

It depends on the content and your jurisdiction. Most platforms' terms of service prohibit automated downloading. Use this tool only for content you have the right to download.

Does the server keep my videos?

No. The video is downloaded to a temporary directory, streamed straight to your browser, and deleted immediately after. URLs and file contents are not retained.
