YouTube downloads are temporarily unavailable
YouTube's server-side protection is currently blocking automated stream downloads. We're working on a reliable fix — this service will be re-enabled in the future. All other platforms remain fully functional.

What you can save
Video in original quality
No invented qualities — only formats that truly exist.
Audio when available
Extract audio as MP3 up to 320 kbps where the source provides it.
Images & carousels
Photos and multi-slide posts appear as individual items.
Caption-based filenames
Files are named after the actual caption or title, not gibberish IDs.
Instant preview
Thumbnail, title and author render before you commit to anything.
Public content only
Private, login-walled or deleted media is never accessed.
About downloading from YouTube
Drop in any public YouTube watch link, Shorts link or shortened youtu.be URL. FetchMedia pulls the title, channel name and thumbnail instantly so you always know what you are saving.
Available formats depend on the source video and the connected resolver — the page only ever lists qualities that genuinely exist for that video. Audio-only options appear wherever the integration provides them.
Pro tips
- Shorts links (/shorts/…) and youtu.be links resolve exactly like watch links.
- Age-restricted, private or deleted videos cannot be resolved.
- Only save videos you own, that are licensed to you, or where the creator permits it.
- Connect a Cobalt instance via COBALT_API_URL to unlock direct HD file downloads.
