About
VidGrab is a small, friendly service that helps you save videos from the platforms you already use — TikTok, Instagram (Reels & Posts), and Facebook (Videos & Reels). It's fast, free, and respects your privacy.
Why we built this
We believe you should be in control of what you save and watch. Most platforms don't expose a native "download" button, so we glue together the pieces that do exist — open metadata, public CDNs, and your browser — and hand you the resulting file. Nothing more, nothing less.
How it works
- You paste a public link.
- Our backend uses
yt-dlp, an open-source extractor, to read the metadata of the public video: title, uploader, thumbnail, available qualities. - You pick a format (1080p, 720p, 480p, or audio-only MP3).
- We stream the file to your browser. We do not store it permanently.
What we don't do
- We don't ask for an account, an email, or a phone number.
- We don't track you across other websites.
- We don't host your downloads. Files are deleted from our servers within minutes.
- We don't help with private, age-restricted, or paywalled content.
A note on copyright
The videos on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook belong to the people who made them. You're welcome to download them for personal use — please don't re-upload, re-post, or claim them as your own. The original creators get the credit.
