How it works
How to Download a Public Video
Step 1: Copy a public video link
Use Share → Copy link on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or X. Open an individual video or post, not a profile.
Step 2: Paste it above
Paste the link into the downloader and select Download Video. The tool checks for downloadable media.
Step 3: Save an available format
Choose an offered MP4 quality; YouTube HD may take time to merge with audio. You can also extract available audio as MP3. X posts can offer photos or GIFs.

Guide
Public Video Downloader
Clipnest accepts public video and post links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X. Paste a link and the tool checks which downloadable files the platform makes publicly available. Direct MP4s include audio. YouTube can also pair accessible video-only MP4 and compatible audio streams on the processing server; private and protected media are not bypassed.
Links to use
- For YouTube, copy a public video's watch or share link, not a channel or playlist page.
- For TikTok, use an individual public video link from the Share menu.
- For Instagram, copy the link to a public reel, video or post with downloadable video.
- For Facebook, share the link to a public video or video post, not a private group.
- For X (Twitter), paste a public post link from x.com, twitter.com or t.co. See the X video guide for X-specific formats.
Formats and quality
MP4 qualities depend on the public source. Some YouTube HD options require merging separate video and audio streams before downloading; these generated files expire. No particular resolution, watermark status or platform-wide coverage is guaranteed. MP3 conversion extracts available audio. Public X posts may also include GIF loops and photos; see the X GIF guideand X photo guide.
Availability and privacy
You don't sign in to use this tool. It cannot open private, deleted, age-restricted, login-only or DRM-protected media. A platform can change how its public videos are delivered, so a link that worked earlier may stop working. Generated MP4 and MP3 files are held temporarily for download and removed within 60 minutes. Read our Privacy Policy for details.
Respect creators
Download only media you own or have permission to use. A public link doesn't grant permission to republish or commercially exploit someone else's work. Read our Acceptable Use Policy and copyright and removal policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which platforms and links work?
Use individual public video or post links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or X. Profile pages, private posts and links that require signing in are not supported. Availability can change when a platform changes its site.
How do I download a video?
Copy the public video or post URL using its Share menu, paste it above and select Download Video. Choose an offered MP4. YouTube HD may need server-side preparation before its download link is ready.
Does the downloader work on mobile?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. Your browser may save the file to Downloads; on iPhone, look in Files → Downloads before moving it to Photos.
Do I need to install an app?
No app or browser extension is needed to use the downloader in your browser.
Can I download HD or 4K video?
We list available progressive MP4s with audio, plus YouTube MP4 video-only streams when a compatible public audio stream can be merged on our server. Resolutions vary; 4K and availability are not guaranteed. We do not upscale.
Can I convert a video to MP3?
Yes, when downloadable audio is available. Choose MP3 after resolving it; the processing server extracts the audio. There is no fixed video-length limit, but source size, processing time and availability still matter.
Can I download private videos?
No. We do not access private, sign-in-only, age-gated or DRM-protected videos or bypass access controls.
Why isn't a video available?
The link may not be to an individual public video, the post may be deleted, or the platform may only provide restricted or unreachable media. YouTube HD also needs an accessible compatible audio stream. Try another public video or consult the platform-specific page.
Is it free?
Yes. The tool is free to use and supported by labelled advertising. Requests are rate-limited to keep the service available.
How long are downloads kept?
Download links expire. Generated MP4 and MP3 files are stored temporarily and removed within 60 minutes. Basic lookup records expire after 24 hours. See our Privacy Policy for details.
