Questions and answers

What size is the thumbnail?

The biggest one the video has. For most videos that’s HD (1280×720); older or smaller videos may only have 640×480 or 480×360.

Can I use the thumbnail anywhere?

Thumbnails belong to the video’s creator. Using one for a review, a comment or your own reference is usually fine; publishing it as your own work is not.

Is it free?

Yes. There’s no sign-up, no app to install and no limit on how many videos you save.

Where do the files go?

To your browser’s Downloads folder. On Android that’s the Files app (Downloads); on iPhone it’s the Files app, then Downloads.

Do you keep my videos or links?

No. Files are prepared on our server only to send them to you and are deleted after 15 minutes. There’s no account and no history.
