Learn how DownloadAnything works, what's supported, and our policies.
How It Works
DownloadAnything is a simple tool that helps you save media from social platforms. Here's how it works in three steps:
Paste a Link
Copy any video or media URL from a supported platform and paste it into our input field.
We Fetch Metadata
Our server parses the URL, contacts the source platform, and retrieves available media formats and qualities.
Download Directly
You download the file directly from the source platform. We never store, host, or redistribute any content.
Important: We act solely as an intermediary tool. We do not store, host, cache, or distribute any third-party content. All files are fetched directly from the original platform.

Legal & Copyright
DMCA Compliance
DownloadAnything respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We operate as a tool that provides links to publicly available content — we do not host, cache, store, or distribute any third-party media on our servers.
Our service acts as an intermediary, fetching metadata and download links directly from the source platform. The actual file transfer occurs between your device and the original hosting platform.
Content Ownership
All content accessible through our service is owned by and remains the property of the original content creators and/or the platforms on which it is published.
Downloading content through our service does not transfer ownership, grant any license, or confer any rights to the downloaded material beyond what is permitted by the original platform's terms of service and applicable law.
User Responsibility
Users bear full responsibility for how they use content downloaded through our service. By using DownloadAnything, you represent and warrant that:
- You have the legal right to download and use the content
- You will not use downloaded content to infringe on any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right
- You will not redistribute, sell, or commercially exploit downloaded content without proper authorization from the rights holder
- You will comply with the terms of service of the original platform
Fair Use Guidelines
We encourage users to respect copyright and use downloaded content within the bounds of fair use. Generally accepted fair use includes:
- Personal, non-commercial viewing — saving content for offline viewing or personal archiving
- Education and research — using content for academic purposes with proper attribution
- Commentary, criticism, and news reporting — transformative use that adds new meaning or value
Fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis. When in doubt, seek permission from the content creator.
