Vidownloader is a free, open-source video, photo, and audio downloader you self-host on your own server. Paste a URL from one of 1000+ supported sites and download as MP4 video, MP3 audio, or original image format.

Yes — MIT licensed, no usage limits, no premium tier. The public vidownloader.net instance is ad-supported to fund development. To get a fully ad-free, analytics-free experience, self-host with a single Docker command — the codebase is the same.

Vidownloader supports over 1,000 websites through yt-dlp. The most popular include YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Reddit, Vimeo, Twitch, SoundCloud, Facebook, Dailymotion, Bilibili, Bandcamp, Pinterest, and Tumblr. yt-dlp's extractor list is updated continuously.

Vidownloader is open source — host your own copy in 60 seconds and nobody but you sees the URLs. vidownloader.net runs Google Analytics + AdSense to fund development, but self-hosters who don't set those env vars ship a fully ad-free, analytics-free instance.

Yes. Vidownloader ships with a custom Instagram extractor that calls Instagram's web API directly using your cookies. Multi-item posts (carousels with mixed photos and videos) display in a grid; you select which items to download and each becomes its own download job.
