Frequently asked questions
Is the service free?
The frontend does not charge users. Processing availability, limits and generated-link lifetime are controlled by the external provider.
Can I download Shorts?
Public Shorts links can be submitted like regular video URLs when the provider accepts them.
Why is 4K not available?
The original source may not contain 4K, or the provider may not currently return that format for the selected link.
Why is there no sound?
Some high-resolution formats use separate streams or may be video-only. Try MP4 720p/1080p or an audio format.
Can I download private or paid videos?
No. Only use public content that you own, have permission to use, or are legally allowed to save.
Are generated links permanent?
No. Download links are temporary. Save the file after processing completes.
