Download video from anywhere, in one paste
Paste a link from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Dailymotion or Loom. We find the real media behind the page, list every version that genuinely exists with its size, and hand you the file.
Choose a platform
Each one has its own page, its own quality ladder and its own quirks documented.
What you can download
Most videos can also be saved as audio only. Public content only — nothing is upscaled, and finished files are deleted after about an hour.

Common questions
Is Fast Video Download free?
Yes. Every supported platform and every quality it offers, with no sign-up and no paid tier holding quality back.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser on desktop, iPhone and Android — no app, no extension, no sign-up. The only thing you provide is a link.
What happens to the links I paste?
They're used to find the media and prepare your file. Each download is logged with the link, your IP address and browser, which we use to stop abuse and fix failures. Nothing is tied to an account, and finished files are deleted from storage about an hour after they're ready (up to four hours for very large files).
Can I download a whole YouTube playlist?
Yes. Paste the playlist link and every video is listed with its length and an estimated size. Tick the ones you want, choose one quality for the set, and they download one by one, each saved as soon as it's ready and numbered in playlist order. Videos nobody can download — private, members-only, an unaired premiere — are left out rather than failing the run.
Why do the available qualities differ between videos?
Because platforms only store what the uploader published. A video shot at 720p has no 4K version anywhere, and no tool can invent detail that was never recorded.
Is downloading legal?
It depends where you live and what you do with the file. Your own uploads, Creative Commons and public-domain material are the clean cases; re-publishing someone else's work is where real risk starts.
How downloading from a link works
Downloading from a link comes down to three decisions: what the link points at, which version you want, and where the file should end up. Copy the link from the app's Share button or the address bar (where to find it on each platform) — shortened links such as youtu.be, fb.watch, pin.it and dai.ly all resolve — and paste it into the box above.
A link you copy from a social app is a page address, not a video. Behind that page the platform stores the media in pieces — often one stream for picture, another for sound, plus a set of alternative resolutions generated when the file was uploaded. A downloader's real job is to read that manifest, show you what genuinely exists, and reassemble the pieces into a single playable file.
That is why quality lists differ so much between services. YouTube keeps a long ladder up to 4K with audio held separately; Instagram re-encodes to roughly 1080p vertical; Loom recordings are usually a single modest rung. Showing each platform's true options — with sizes attached — is more useful than promising 4K everywhere and quietly upscaling.
When the file is ready, desktop browsers save it to your Downloads folder. iPhone saves to the Files app, from where one tap moves it into Photos; Android saves to Downloads, which most gallery apps pick up on their own — where downloads go on your phone has the details.
The practical advice is the same on every platform: pick 1080p unless you will edit the footage or watch it on a television, take audio-only when you just want the sound, and prefer a direct copy over any conversion. Re-encoding a file that has already been compressed once loses detail permanently.
