Download TikTok, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, Threads, Snapchat, Twitch & Vimeo videos without watermarks — HD video, reels, Shorts, MP3 audio, photo carousels, and ffmpeg-rendered slideshow MP4s. Free, no login, no limits. Installs as an app.

A free, watermark-free downloader for TikTok, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, Threads, Snapchat, Twitch, and Vimeo. Paste a link and get an HD video, reel, or Short, MP3 audio, a photo carousel (individual images or a ZIP), or a fully rendered slideshow MP4 with the original soundtrack — no login, no install required, runs in your browser.

It's also an installable app (PWA): add it to your home screen and share links straight from the TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube app — no browser, no copy-paste.

A free, open-source alternative to SnapTik, SSSTik, SaveTT, SnapInsta, Y2mate, and GetFvid — with no ads, no tracking, and a multi-source fallback chain so downloads keep working when any single provider goes down.

Built with Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, and Motion by Mohamed Gado.

• 11 platforms, one paste box. TikTok, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, Threads, Snapchat, Twitch, and Vimeo — auto-detected from the URL.
• No watermark, HD by default. Clean video with a one-tap fallback to SD, plus MP3 audio extraction on every platform that carries sound.
• No login, no API key, no daily limit. Nothing to sign up for and nothing installed unless you want the app.
• Private by design. No accounts, no tracking of what you download. Your Recent list lives only in your own browser.
• Resilient. A per-platform fallback chain quietly retries other sources, so a single provider outage doesn't break your download.
• Installable PWA. Home-screen icon, app shortcuts, and native share-in from other apps.

TikTok

• HD video downloads without the watermark
• Extract the soundtrack as MP3 (re-served with audio/mpeg)
• Photo carousels (slideshows): preview every image, save individually or as a ZIP, keep the original background music
• Render a TikTok slideshow into a real MP4 video (ffmpeg) when the platform only ships images

Twitter / X

• Native video and GIF extraction from any twitter.com or x.com status URL
• Resolves t.co short links

Instagram

• Download reels and feed videos in their original quality
• Save single-photo posts and multi-image carousels — individually or as a ZIP
• Extract the audio track from a reel as MP3
• Works with instagram.com/p/…, /reel/…, /tv/… and share links — no login required

YouTube

• Download videos and Shorts in HD as MP4
• Extract the audio track as MP3
• Rich metadata (title, channel, thumbnail) pulled from YouTube's public oEmbed
• Works with youtube.com/watch?v=…, youtu.be/…, /shorts/…, and /embed/…

Facebook

• Download public videos, watch clips, and reels in HD
• Extract the audio track as MP3
• Resolves fb.watch/… short links and /share/… links automatically
• Works with facebook.com/…/videos/…, facebook.com/watch/?v=…, and facebook.com/reel/…

Pinterest

• Download Pin videos and images from pinterest.com/pin/… (and pin.it short links)

Reddit

• Download videos from reddit.com/r/…/comments/… posts and /s/… share links

Threads

• Download videos and images from threads.net / threads.com posts

Snapchat

• Download Spotlight clips and public story/profile media

Twitch

• Download clips and VODs from twitch.tv/…/clip/…, clips.twitch.tv/…, and twitch.tv/videos/…

Vimeo

• Download videos from vimeo.com/… and player.vimeo.com/… via a dedicated extractor

• Installable PWA — add to your home screen and launch it like a native app (standalone, own icon, splash).
• Share Target (Android) — installing registers the app as a share destination, so you can hit Share → Social Downloader from inside TikTok/Instagram/YouTube and land straight on a resolved download. No browser, no paste.
• App shortcuts / jump list — long-press the installed icon to jump straight to the TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook downloader.
• iOS add-to-home hint — a quiet, on-brand nudge with the exact "Share → Add to Home Screen" steps, plus an iOS save hint on results.
• One-tap paste — reads the clipboard and resolves the link in a single tap.
• Batch paste — drop a whole list of links (one per line or space-separated); every URL is pulled out, de-duplicated, and resolved in turn with live progress.
• Result re-pick — switch a resolved result between HD / SD / MP3 without re-pasting; your choice is remembered for the next link.
• Recent — a local, privacy-friendly history of what you've grabbed (branded per-platform tiles, "View all"), stored only in your browser and re-resolvable in one tap. Never stores the short-lived CDN/stream URL.

• Inline video and image previews before downloading
• Multi-source fallback chain per platform (resilient against any single provider going down)
• Warm-instance resolve cache and direct tunnel downloads for faster, lighter fetches
• CORS-proxied media routes so downloads (and Instagram's hotlink-protected CDN) work cross-origin, with HTTP range support for seek/preview
• Inline URL validation, smooth motion animations, fully responsive layout, low-power/touch-aware effects
• Eleven dedicated, SEO-tuned landing pages (one per platform)
• Production-grade SEO: dynamic OpenGraph and Twitter card images, per-platform OG images, JSON-LD (WebSite, Person, SoftwareApplication, HowTo, FAQPage), hreflang, sitemap, IndexNow ping on build, and a PWA-tuned manifest
• No registration, no API keys, no daily limit

Prerequisites: Node.js 20+ (24 LTS recommended), pnpm.

All optional — the app runs without any config.

Download a video, reel, or Short

1. Copy a link from any supported platform.
2. Paste it into the input on the homepage (or tap Paste, or share it into the installed app).
3. Click Process URL — the app fetches metadata and a clean download link.
4. Optionally preview, then click Video or Extract Audio — or re-pick HD / SD / MP3.

Download several at once (batch)

1. Paste a list of links — one per line or space-separated.
2. Each URL is detected and resolved in turn with live progress.

Download a photo carousel

1. Paste the photo post URL (a TikTok slideshow or an Instagram carousel).
2. All images appear as a selectable grid.
3. Toggle the selections, then download them individually or as a ZIP.
4. For TikTok slideshows, click Video (slideshow) to render an MP4 of the images timed to the original music.

Install as an app

Resolves a supported URL and returns download links and metadata.

{ "url": "https://www.instagram.com/reel/ABC123/" }

Video response:

{
  "success": true,
  "downloadUrl": "/api/video?url=...",
  "audioUrl": "/api/audio?url=...",
  "metadata": { "title": "…", "author": "…", "thumbnail": "…", "platform": "instagram" }
}

Photo carousel response:

{
  "success": true,
  "metadata": {
    "title": "…",
    "author": "…",
    "platform": "instagram",
    "images": ["…", "…"]
  }
}

Proxies a video file with Content-Type: video/mp4, adding the correct Referer for each CDN (via lib/proxyHeaders.ts) and honoring HTTP range requests so preview/seek works.

Same proxy as /api/video but with Content-Type: audio/mpeg, so browsers treat it as an audio download.

Proxies a single image with the correct CDN Referer and permissive CORS headers. Instagram's CDN refuses cross-origin browser requests, so Instagram image previews and individual downloads are routed through this endpoint.

Fetches a list of image URLs. Returns either a JSON list of (proxied) downloadable URLs or a ZIP archive depending on asZip.

{ "imageUrls": ["https://…"], "title": "post-title", "asZip": true }

Renders a real MP4 from a TikTok photo carousel using ffmpeg, timing each image and laying the original music on top.

{
  "imageUrls": ["https://…", "https://…"],
  "audioUrl": "https://…",
  "perImageSeconds": 3
}

The downloader tries providers in order and falls back automatically on failure.

• TikTok videos: Tikwm → Snaptik → SSSTik → direct scraping
• Twitter/X videos: vxTwitter → public Cobalt instances
• Instagram posts/reels: embed page (shortcode_media) → public Cobalt instances → web GraphQL (stories need IG_SESSIONID)
• YouTube videos/Shorts: public Cobalt instances → public Piped instances → youtube-dl-exec (metadata enriched via YouTube oEmbed)
• Facebook videos/reels: video plugin page (/plugins/video.php) → direct page scrape (browser_native_*_url) → public Cobalt instances
• Vimeo: dedicated extractor
• Pinterest / Reddit / Threads / Snapchat / Twitch: best-effort via public Cobalt instances

Cobalt does the heavy lifting on serverless hosts (where yt-dlp isn't available). Set COBALT_API_URL to point the fallback chain at your own Cobalt instance for more reliable, higher-throughput extraction.

The project deploys to Vercel with no configuration. It runs on any Node.js host that supports Next.js 16 (Node 20+, ideally 24 LTS).

@vercel/og requires the edge runtime; the OG and Twitter card routes are already configured for it. For the most reliable extraction in production, set COBALT_API_URL to a self-hosted Cobalt instance.
