How to download a video

Three steps. It works the same on a phone, a tablet and a computer.

Copy the video link

Open the public video on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram and copy its link from the share menu or the address bar.

Paste it above

Drop the link into the box on this page. The platform is detected automatically - there is nothing to choose.

Pick a quality and save

We show the qualities that are actually available for that video. Choose one and the file downloads straight to your device.

Finding the link on each platform

YouTube

In the app, tap Share under the video and choose Copy link. In a browser, copy the address from the address bar. Shorts links work too.

Facebook

Open the video, tap Share then Copy link. On a computer, right-click the video and choose Copy video URL. Reels and Watch links both work.

Instagram

Open the Reel or video post, tap the menu and choose Copy link. The account has to be public.

Where the file goes

Android: the file lands in your Downloads folder and appears in the notification shade while it saves.

iPhone and iPad: Safari saves it into the Files app under Downloads. From there you can move it into Photos.

Computer: it goes to your browser's normal download folder.

Only download videos you own or have permission to save. Private, age-restricted and members-only content is not processed.
