Questions, answered
Short answers. No fine-print burrows.
Is VidNabbit free?
Yes. VidNabbit is free to use, with no sign-up and no ads. A fair-use limit stops any one person from hogging the service.
What can I download with VidNabbit?
Media you own or have the right to download, from public links on thousands of sites (on YouTube, Creative Commons videos only), plus direct links to video, audio or image files. The link has to be public: if it plays in a private browser window without signing in, we can usually read it.
Which formats can I pick?
Video as MP4 (best available, up to 4K where the source has it, or 1080p, 720p and 480p), audio as MP3 at 192 kbps or M4A at the original quality, and images at their original resolution. We only show the options the source really offers.
Do I need to install an app or an extension?
No. VidNabbit runs in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Paste a link, pick a format and the file downloads like any other.
Do you keep my files?
No. Files are prepared when you ask for them and deleted automatically after 1 hour. There is no public gallery, and nobody else can browse your downloads.
Do you need my password or cookies?
Never. VidNabbit never asks for, stores or uses your passwords, cookies or login sessions. That is also why content behind a sign-in is out of reach.
Why was my link refused?
We refuse DRM-protected services, private or members-only content, anything behind a sign-in or paywall, live streams, and items removed at a rights holder's request. Media over 3 hours long or files over 4 GB are refused too.
Is it legal to download videos?
It depends on the content and where you live. Saving your own uploads, public-domain media or media licensed for download is generally fine. Saving copyrighted content without permission usually isn't. Our guide explains the basics, but it is not legal advice.
