Source files, clearly explained

Choose an available file, not a promised resolution. Some higher-resolution videos have a separate audio track. Video-only options are marked; ClipPika does not merge them. Audio is not necessarily MP3.

Frequently asked questions

Does this convert YouTube to MP3?

No. An available audio download is a source file, not a guaranteed MP3 conversion. Changing a file extension does not convert its format.

Is this video downloader free?

Yes. The current downloader is free to use, with no subscription or account required. Fair-use request limits help keep the service available.

Does this remove existing watermarks?

We retrieve available media without adding a watermark. The downloader does not edit files. To remove a visible watermark from a file you own, use the Image or Video Watermark Remover.

Can I download private posts?

No. Private, deleted, age-restricted or otherwise unavailable posts may not be supported. We never ask for your social account password.

Why is a download link not working?

Media links expire, and the platform may restrict a post. Paste the original post link again to request fresh download options.

Where is my downloaded file?

Check your browser's Downloads folder. On iPhone, open Files and look in Downloads. Some browsers open media first; use their Save or Share option.

Can I reuse downloaded content?

Downloading does not transfer copyright or grant permission to repost. Use your own content or obtain the necessary permission and follow the source platform's terms.

Having trouble with a download?

Check the video-only label before downloading another file. A separate audio track is not merged automatically.
