Video Downloader FAQ

Use the video downloader with supported public TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook video URLs. Availability depends on the specific URL, public access, current extractor support and compatible formats supplied by the platform.

No. The current downloader and converter run through your browser and do not require registration, signing in to VideoSave, an app installation or a browser extension.

Yes. The current downloader and converter are free to use, subject to service limits. VideoSave Pro is planned and is not currently available.

Paste a supported public video URL into the video-to-MP4 tool, choose an available MP4 quality and start the download. Availability depends on the source; private, login-required and DRM-protected sources are unsupported.

Copy a supported public video URL, open VideoSave in your mobile browser, paste the URL and select Analyze. Choose MP4 or MP3 and an available quality, then start the download. Where the file opens or is saved depends on your browser and device.

Use the video-to-MP3 tool or audio downloader with a supported public URL. VideoSave processes the media server-side and returns MP3 audio when a usable audio stream is available from the source.

MP3 is an audio format for audio-only downloads. MP4 is a media container; VideoSave selects compatible H.264 video and AAC audio streams and may combine or remux them without promising to transcode arbitrary source codecs.

MP4 options are Best, 1080p, 720p and 480p. Numeric options set a maximum video height. Best selects the highest compatible H.264/AAC option available from the source.

MP3 options are Best, 320 kbps, 192 kbps and 128 kbps. Best currently maps to the 192 kbps encoding target, and MP3 conversion is lossy.

No. VideoSave does not add cookies or authentication and does not bypass access controls or DRM. Private, login-required or otherwise restricted media may fail.

No. The interface runs in your browser, but URL validation, media retrieval, conversion and output validation run on the VideoSave server. See how VideoSave processes downloads for the complete server-side flow.

By default, media is limited to 30 minutes and 500 MiB. VideoSave also applies rate and concurrency controls, and deployment configuration may set different limits.

First confirm the URL is correct, opens without signing in, and points to a public video that is still available. Check the configured duration and file-size limits; defaults are 30 minutes and 500 MiB, but deployment limits may differ. When appropriate, try another available quality or compatible format, but this cannot resolve private, login-required, removed, regional, DRM or verification restrictions. Retry later if a temporary source restriction or platform verification check prevents processing.

VideoSave does not intentionally archive downloaded media. Each job uses a temporary directory, and cleanup is attempted after failures and when the response finishes or is cancelled. Immediate cleanup cannot be guaranteed after every process or host failure.

VideoSave records limited structured operational events for processing and error monitoring. The application does not intentionally include submitted media URLs in those downloader events.
