Keep the video before you lose the tab
You already copied the link — from Share, from the address bar, from a message someone sent. Nothing happens on this screen yet; it simply sends you to the right tool so the next paste actually works.
Pick the site
Tap the card that matches the app you copied from. On the next page, paste the link, wait a moment for formats to appear, then save MP4 — all inside the browser tab you already have open.
This front page is only a map. The real work happens on the downloader pages linked below and in the text — each one knows how to read links from a specific site, so YouTube URLs are not mixed up with TikTok or Instagram patterns.
If you already know where the video lives, scroll to the cards and jump straight there. If you're unsure, read on: we grouped the longer explanations by site and linked every tool by name so you can move without hunting through the menu.
YouTube: MP4 video or MP3 audio only
YouTube is still where most people start. Lectures, podcasts uploaded as video, livestream replays, music with a static thumbnail — the use cases pile up. Our YouTube MP4 downloader asks for the normal watch URL or youtu.be short link, lists the MP4 qualities YouTube exposes for that upload, and lets you pick before the file lands in Downloads or the Files app.
Sometimes you genuinely do not need the video track. Commutes, running, studying with audio-only — for that we keep a separate YouTube to MP3 page. Same copy-paste habit, different output. Bitrate choices depend on what the source offers; we show what is there instead of promising a fake 320 kbps on every link.
On mobile, long-press the address bar or use Share → Copy link inside the YouTube app. On desktop, Ctrl+L and copy works fine. Paste on the tool page, not here — this home screen has no download box on purpose, so you pick the right parser first.
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X
Short vertical video moved off YouTube years ago. Instagram Reels, TikTok trends, Facebook shares in family chats, X posts with a clip attached — four different apps, four different link shapes. We split them on purpose: the Instagram video downloader, TikTok video downloader, Facebook video downloader, and X video downloader each handle one family of URLs.
What they share is the routine. Open the post in the app, tap Share or the three dots, copy link, switch to your browser, open the matching page from the cards above, paste, download. Quality varies by what the platform CDN still serves; private profiles, close friends stories, or login-walled posts will fail, and that is normal — we only fetch what a public visitor could stream.
TikTok links often come as vm.tiktok.com redirects; Instagram sends instagram.com/reel/… paths; Facebook might be fb.watch or a full facebook.com URL; X still accepts twitter.com and x.com. You do not need to clean the URL beyond copying what the app gives you.
Phones, browsers, and when things break
Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, Samsung Internet, Firefox on a laptop — all fine. We are not a native app store listing; that means no install dialog, but it also means you should use the browser download prompt and know where your phone stores files (usually Downloads or Files → On My iPhone).
Failed fetch? Usually the video was removed, region-blocked, age-gated, or never public. Less often the network dropped mid-request; retry once on Wi‑Fi. Our FAQ walks through format questions, mobile quirks, and the "why is nothing listed?" cases without making you email support for obvious fixes.
If you prefer a linear walkthrough with screenshots described step by step, the how to download guide starts from zero: copy link, choose site, paste, pick quality, save. Come back to this home page when you need a different network — the cards stay the same even as we tweak the wording.
