Powered by a constantly-updated open-source engine, Video Downloader 8K pulls video from thousands of sites — the headliners below, and far beyond them.
…and thousands more — if a page plays a video, it’s usually downloadable.
Built lite. Built clean.
Video manager
Every download shows a thumbnail, title, and progress — all in one tidy list.
Pick your quality
From quick MP3 audio to full 4K/8K video. You choose the format and resolution.
Straight to Downloads
Files land in your own Downloads folder. We never store a thing on our servers.
No malware, ever
No pop-ups, no fake buttons, no "install this first." Just the app and your video.
Fast & lightweight
A small, native Windows app that opens instantly and stays out of your way.
Private by design
Downloads run on your machine. Your links and files never pass through us.
Website or app — what’s the difference?
Use the website for instant downloads with nothing to install. Get the free Windows app for the sites that block browser downloads — like YouTube & TikTok — plus a full download manager.
🌐 This website
Instant, no install. Downloads from Facebook, X, Vimeo, Reddit and thousands more, straight to your device. 100% free, zero ads.
💻 The free Windows app
Everything the website does — plus YouTube & TikTok in up to 8K, a video manager and batch downloads. 100% free · no ads · unlimited · no in-app purchases.
Why aren’t YouTube & TikTok on the website? They block third-party downloads, so the only way to offer them in a browser is to proxy the video through paid servers — which is exactly why other “free” downloader sites are buried in ads. We keep this tool genuinely free and ad-free, so those platforms live in the free app instead.
Frequently asked questions
Is Video Downloader 8K really free?
Yes — completely free. No trial, no paywall, no account required.
Is it safe? Are there ads or malware?
It's clean. No ads, no pop-ups, no bundled software, and nothing you have to install first. That's the whole point — most downloader sites are buried in malicious ads, and we built the opposite.
Which websites does it support?
Thousands — including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Reddit, Vimeo, Twitch and most news and social sites. If a page has a video, it's usually downloadable.
Where do my downloaded videos go?
Straight to your computer's Downloads folder. Nothing is uploaded to or stored on our servers — the download happens entirely on your own machine.
What can I download — video, audio, or both?
Both. Choose full video up to 4K/8K, or extract audio only as MP3.
Do I need an account?
No. Download the app, paste a link, and go.
Why can’t I download YouTube or TikTok on the website?
YouTube and TikTok block downloads from anywhere except their own apps and site, so a website can only offer them by proxying the video through paid servers — which is exactly why other downloader sites are covered in ads. We keep this tool 100% free and ad-free, so YouTube and TikTok live in our free Windows app instead: full 8K, no ads, no limits, no in-app purchases.
Is the desktop app really free?
Completely. No ads, no usage limits, no watermarks, and no in-app purchases of any kind — ever.
