About downmy

downmy is a browser-based video downloader. You paste a link from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or X, and the service returns the media file that platform already serves publicly.

How it works

When you submit a link, a resolver on our server fetches the public page and extracts the media stream URLs the platform itself embeds. Short links are expanded first. For YouTube, where HD is delivered as separate video and audio streams, the two tracks are downloaded and merged with ffmpeg before the file is sent to you — a stream copy, not a re-encode, so nothing is lost.

What we store

Nothing persistent. Resolved links are held in memory for up to 30 minutes so that a follow-up download request can be served, then they are discarded. No video or audio files are written to disk apart from the temporary working file a merge needs, which is deleted as soon as the transfer finishes. There are no accounts, no profiles and no watch history.

What we do not do

  • We do not process private, protected, friends-only or deleted content.
  • We do not ask for, accept or store credentials for any platform.
  • We do not bundle an installer, an extension or a desktop app.

Languages

The interface and the four platform pages are available in 20 languages. The how-to guides are written in English, with translations in Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian and Vietnamese; other languages link to the English guides.

Limits

YouTube HD downloads need a server-side merge and therefore take longer than a direct file — typically 15 to 60 seconds. Extremely long videos may exceed the merge timeout. Content the platform does not make publicly accessible cannot be resolved by any tool, this one included.

Copyright

downmy is a technical tool, not a licence. Downloading a video does not transfer any rights to it. Use it for your own uploads, openly licensed material, or content you have the rights holder's permission to save, and respect the terms of service of the platform you are downloading from.

Other downloaders

TikTok Paste a TikTok link and get the video back as a clean MP4 with no watermark, plus the original sound as a separate MP3. YouTube YouTube ships video and audio as separate streams at HD. downmy downloads both and merges them on the server with ffmpeg, so you get one playable MP4. Instagram Paste an Instagram Reel, video post or share link and get the video back as a plain MP4 file. X (Twitter) Paste a post link from X or Twitter and get the video back as MP4 at the best resolution that post provides.
