What is OpenDownloader?

OpenDownloader saves video and audio from the web straight to your computer. Its download engine is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, and it runs on your machine. Most files go directly from the source site to your disk; YouTube and sites that refuse a browser stream through a relay that passes the bytes through and stores, caches or logs none of them.

Paste a link into the web app: a video page on YouTube, Bilibili, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch or X, a Mega share, a direct media file, or an .m3u8 or .mpd playlist. It lists the qualities on offer, lets you pick video and audio separately, and remuxes HLS and DASH segments into a single playable MP4. Dropped connections resume where they stopped, and the finished file is checked with a SHA-256 digest. A companion extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox adds more sites, such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

There are no accounts, ads, trackers or paid tiers, and DRM-protected media is refused in code. OpenDownloader is open source under MIT or Apache-2.0.
