ClipKoala is a free online video downloader. Paste a link from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit, Pinterest, Twitch, or SoundCloud and save the video in HD, without watermarks, or grab the audio as MP3. It runs in your browser with no account and no software to install.

Yes. Every download, in every quality, with no account, no limits, and no hidden fees.

No. ClipKoala works in any modern browser on phone, tablet, and desktop. There is an optional browser extension for one-click sending and an installable web app for Android's share sheet, but neither is required.

TikTok (watermark-free videos, photo slideshows, MP3), Instagram Reels, posts, carousels, and public Stories, Facebook videos and Reels, YouTube videos, Shorts, playlists, and channels (MP4 up to 1080p or MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC), X (Twitter) videos and GIFs, Reddit videos with sound, Pinterest video and image pins, Twitch clips, and SoundCloud tracks as MP3.

Open the video in its app or website, tap Share, copy the link, and paste it into ClipKoala. The platform is detected automatically. Pick a quality and the file saves to your device.

Yes. ClipKoala fetches the original file TikTok stores before the watermark is applied. Nothing is cropped, blurred, or re-encoded.

The best quality each platform serves. YouTube goes up to 1080p Full HD with a quality picker; other platforms offer HD and SD where available. Audio downloads are MP3 at 320kbps for YouTube, with M4A, WAV, and FLAC as alternatives.

Yes. Paste multiple links together, or use the Batch button, and ClipKoala fetches up to 10 at a time. Each video gets its own row with quality options, and Save all grabs the best quality for everything in one go.

YouTube files are converted to your chosen quality on the fly. Most start within seconds, but long HD videos can take up to a minute. Keep the tab open and the file will land in your downloads automatically.

Into your browser's default Downloads folder, named after the video title (you can change the naming pattern in the filename settings). On phones you can move the file to your gallery or camera roll.

No. Only public posts can be fetched. Private, followers-only, or age-restricted content is not accessible, by design, to respect creators' privacy.

No. Links are processed on the fly and discarded immediately. Files stream through our server to your browser and are never kept. Your recent-downloads list lives only in your own browser and can be cleared anytime.

No. ClipKoala never asks for your credentials to any platform, and there is no ClipKoala account.

Downloading is fine for your own content, content you have permission to save, and public-domain or Creative Commons media. Always respect creators' rights and each platform's terms of service.

The most common reasons are that the post is private or deleted, the link was copied incorrectly, or the platform is temporarily blocking requests. Check the status page to see whether a platform is having trouble, then try copying the link again from the app's share button.

Some mobile browsers preview media instead of saving it. Long-press the video and choose Save, or use a browser like Chrome or Firefox that honors download prompts.

The status page runs a live check against every supported platform every few minutes and shows which ones are operational.
