About

What is SaveVideo?

SaveVideo is a free online video downloader. It saves videos from YouTube, Facebook, X (Twitter), Reddit, Twitch, Bilibili, Dailymotion and other sites straight to your phone, tablet or computer, in up to 4K where the site offers it.

Paste a link, choose a quality, and the file downloads to your device. There's no sign-up and no software to install.

Download YouTube videos in 1080p or 720p

Our YouTube video downloader lists the qualities YouTube has for the video, up to 1080p Full HD, with 720p HD and smaller sizes for when storage is tight. Videos under 10 minutes can be saved in any of them; videos of 10 minutes or more in 360p or lower. For 4K, the free Chrome helper saves it from the YouTube page.

It works with regular videos, YouTube Shorts and playlists: paste a playlist's link and SaveVideo lists its videos, so you can download them one at a time. The YouTube playlist downloader explains how.

Facebook, X, Reddit and more

Save Facebook videos and Reels, videos from posts on X, Reddit videos with their share links, Twitch clips and VODs, and Bilibili uploads. Each works the same way: paste the link and choose a size.

No app or software needed

SaveVideo runs in your browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. If you download often, the free Chrome helper adds a download bar under every YouTube video, and the Android app lets you send a video link to SaveVideo from the Share menu.

Better than screen recording

Screen recording re-encodes the picture, drops frames and captures notifications on top of your video. SaveVideo saves the video file itself, at the quality you pick.

Need the sound only? Many sites offer MP3 in the Audio only tab, or use our sister site SaveMP3 to trim audio and choose the bitrate.

Download only videos you own or have permission to save. Respect creators and each platform’s terms of use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about quality, formats and limits.

Can’t find your answer? Contact us
Why is 4K missing for my video?

On YouTube, the website stops at 1080p, whatever the video has; the free Chrome helper saves the 4K version from the YouTube page. On other sites, 4K shows only when the video was uploaded in it, as on some Bilibili and Pinterest videos.

Which formats can I download?

MP4 for video and MP3 for sound. MP4 plays on almost every phone, TV and computer. MP3 is offered where the site gives SaveVideo an audio option, such as YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Dailymotion and Bilibili. TikTok, X, Pinterest and Weibo give video only, so on those sites you save the MP4.

Is there a download limit?

Only on YouTube. The website allows 3 free YouTube downloads per hour, and other sites, such as Facebook, Reddit or TikTok, have no hourly count. The free Chrome helper and the Android app have no count on YouTube either. The YouTube video downloader page explains how the count works.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes, in Safari on iPhone and iPad. Paste the link into the box at the top of the page and pick a quality. Files go to the Files app under Downloads; from there you can save them to Photos. There is no iPhone app, but you can add SaveVideo.net to your Home Screen.

Can I download a whole playlist?

One video at a time. Paste the playlist's link and SaveVideo lists its videos, each with its own download button. The list shows the first 20 videos, or all of them with the SaveVideo.net Helper installed. More on the YouTube playlist downloader.

Where are files saved?

On a computer, in your browser’s Downloads folder. On an Android phone, in your phone’s downloads; which app shows them depends on the phone. In the SaveVideo Android app, you can also open or share them from the app’s list of downloads.
