1. Paste a direct link
ClipFetch checks the link safely in your browser. It reads the file's name, type, and size — the URL is sent nowhere and stored nowhere.
Save Videos. Your Way.
Simple, free tools for videos you own or are allowed to download.
Direct links to video files only — e.g. https://example.com/video.mp4

ClipFetch cannot download videos from YouTube, and we won't pretend otherwise. YouTube's Terms of Service do not permit unauthorized downloading, and we do not bypass DRM, authentication, or platform restrictions.
If this video is yours, you can download your own content through YouTube Studio (Content → select video → Options → Download), or use YouTube's official offline features in the mobile app with YouTube Premium.

Save a local video file
Pick a video file already on your device and save a copy of it — handy on mobile, where "downloading" a file you already have isn't always obvious.

2. Check before you save
You'll see exactly what the file is before anything happens. If the link isn't a video, is too large, or the server blocks access, we tell you honestly.
3. Download what's allowed
Only download videos you own, that are licensed for download, or that you're explicitly permitted to save. We never bypass DRM, logins, or paywalls.
What ClipFetch can't do
We'd rather be upfront than overpromise:
- No YouTube downloading. YouTube's terms forbid it, so we don't do it — and no tool that claims otherwise has our blessing.
- No DRM or paywall bypass. If a site requires a login, subscription, or encryption, ClipFetch stops there.
- Direct file links only. Links to streaming players (players, embeds, "watch" pages) are not video files and will be flagged.
- Server restrictions apply. Some servers block cross-origin checks (CORS). When that happens we can't read the file details, and we say so instead of guessing.
- Your browser does the work. Nothing is uploaded to us — which also means very large files depend on your device's memory.
About
ClipFetch is a small, free, open static tool. There's no account, no tracking, and no server-side processing: every check runs in your browser and nothing you paste is stored or logged. It exists for one job — helping you keep copies of videos that are yours to keep.

Privacy Policy
ClipFetch collects no personal information. URLs you check are processed entirely in your browser, are never transmitted to or stored on any server, and disappear when you close the tab. We use no analytics and set no tracking cookies in this version. Files you select never leave your device unless you save them yourself.
