Recommended video downloaders

See the full ranking
  • YouTube video downloaders

    The platform every tool claims to handle, and the one that changes its player most often. 10 of the 20 hold up, with yt-dlp, 4K Video Downloader Plus and Stacher out front.

  • TikTok video downloaders

    The watermark is the whole question here. 10 tools reach TikTok, but only some of them return a clean file rather than the branded re-encode.

  • Instagram video downloaders

    Reels, stories and carousels each behave differently, and anything private needs a signed-in session. That rules out most web tools straight away.

  • Pinterest video downloaders

    Mostly an image problem rather than a video one: the masonry grid serves thumbnails, so the job is getting the original resolution, ideally a whole board at once.

  • X (Twitter) video downloaders

    Video and images sit behind an API that keeps tightening. The tools that still work read the page you are looking at rather than calling the API.

  • Facebook video downloaders

    Public posts, Reels and Watch are three separate cases, and group content needs a session. 11 tools get there, with a wide spread in what quality they return.

  • LinkedIn video downloaders

    The thinnest field on the site: 3 tools, all of them yt-dlp or a front end for it. Feed posts work, Learning courses mostly do not.

  • Reddit video downloaders

    Reddit splits audio and video into separate streams, so the real test is whether a tool muxes them back. 4 do; the rest hand you a silent clip.

  • Vimeo video downloaders

    Public videos are straightforward. Password-protected and domain-locked embeds are where tools part ways, and where most of them stop.

  • Bilibili video downloaders

    Separate audio and video streams plus multi-part videos, which general-purpose tools routinely get wrong. 5 handle it; a dedicated extension handles it best.

  • VK video downloaders

    Wide coverage on paper, patchy in practice: region blocks and a login wall cut the list down. 8 tools work, and two of them need a session cookie.

  • Dailymotion video downloaders

    The quiet one: no watermark, no stream splitting, few surprises. 9 tools cover it, so the choice comes down to how you want to run them.
