Public video downloader
Save a video from a link
Paste the address of a public video page. The file is prepared on the server and handed to your browser as an ordinary download.
Download only what you have the right to keep. Respecting copyright and each platform's terms is your responsibility.
How it works
Paste the link
Copy the address from your browser bar or from the share menu on the page, then paste it into the box above.
Choose video or audio
Keep the defaults and the best available version is used, or pick audio only and a smaller size before you start.
Wait for the file
Progress is shown while the file is prepared. Your browser then saves it the way it saves any other download.
Before you start
Some links cannot work
Private, paywalled, age-restricted and region-locked pages are not reachable from a server. When a link cannot be fetched you get a plain explanation instead of a spinner that never finishes.
Long videos take time
A feature-length video can take several minutes to prepare. Keep the tab open until your browser starts saving the file.
Nothing to install
This is a web page. It works in any current browser on desktop or mobile, with no app, no extension and no sign-up.
Common questions
- Is it free?
- Yes. There is no charge, no trial and no paid tier. It is a single-purpose utility, not a product with an upsell.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There is no sign-up and nothing to log in to. You paste a link and get a file; nothing is kept that links one visit to the next.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, on any current mobile browser — there is nothing to install on iPhone or Android. The file saves to your device the same way any other browser download does.
- Can I download a private or members-only video?
- No. If a video sits behind a login, a subscription or a private account, a server on the outside cannot reach it, so no website can — including this one. This tool only fetches pages that are already public to anyone with the link.
- Where does the downloaded file go?
- Wherever your browser saves downloads — usually the Downloads folder, or whatever you have set. The server keeps its copy only long enough to hand it to you, then deletes it.
- Is downloading videos legal?
- It depends on what you download and where you are. Saving something you made, own, or have permission to keep is usually fine; copying someone else’s content without a right to is usually not. That judgement, and the responsibility for it, are yours.
