Am I allowed to download any video?

Formats & quality
Should I choose MP4 or MP3?
Choose MP4 to keep the picture. Choose MP3 when you only need the sound, for example music, podcasts or lectures.
Which resolutions can I pick?
After you hit Fetch, the quality menu lists every resolution the original video offers, from 144p up to 4K where available.
Why did my download fail?
The video may be private, age-restricted, region-locked or removed. Try another link, or check that the page plays in your browser.
Privacy & safety
Do you keep my files?
Downloaded files are stored on the server only so your browser can fetch them, and are not shared or published.
Do you show ads?
No. There are no pop-ups, redirects or ad networks on SaveTheClip.
