Complete guide to video downloading
Modern social networks don't provide built-in tools for saving content. Our service solves this problem by offering a universal solution for downloading videos and audio from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We support all popular formats and resolutions, ensuring maximum quality and speed.
Why download videos from social networks
Content on social media is ephemeral — posts get deleted, accounts blocked, algorithms hide old publications. Downloading allows you to preserve important materials: educational videos, inspiring stories, music tracks, work references. This is especially relevant for professionals: designers, video editors, marketers, teachers. You can create a personal content library, use materials for trend analysis, editing, education, or simply rewatch favorite moments without internet connection.
Legality and copyright
Downloading videos for personal use, analysis, education, or criticism is usually allowed under fair use. However, commercial use, re-uploading others' content without permission, removing watermarks to claim authorship — violate intellectual property laws. Always respect content creators' rights. If you plan to use downloaded materials commercially, be sure to obtain permission from the copyright holder.
Technical features
Our service uses server processing: we extract direct links to media files from platform APIs, convert formats when needed (e.g., video to MP3), apply parallel downloading for speed. For YouTube we use yt-dlp — a powerful tool supporting thousands of sites. For TikTok, Instagram, Facebook we parse official and unofficial APIs, bypassing restrictions. All files are processed on our servers and deleted immediately after download — we don't store your content.
Formats and quality
We offer several quality options: 4K (2160p), 1080p, 720p, 480p for video; 320kbps, 256kbps, 128kbps for audio. Format depends on source: YouTube usually provides MP4 and WebM, TikTok — MP4, Instagram — MP4 or HLS streams. Audio exports to MP3 or M4A. You can choose the balance between file size and quality. For editing we recommend maximum quality, for archive or phone viewing — 720p.
Usage tips
- For editing choose maximum quality (1080p/4K) — it gives room for cropping and color correction.
- For archive or phone viewing 720p is enough — file is 3-4 times smaller, difference is invisible.
- Audio 128kbps suits podcasts and speech, 256-320kbps — for music.
- Check that post is public — private accounts are unavailable.
- Store files organized: create folders by platforms and dates.
- Use 'Audio' mode to extract music from videos.
- For long videos (>10 min) choose 720p — faster speed, smaller size.
