Process

How it works

  2. STEP 02

    Analyze available sources

    GrablyMedia inspects the URL and lists the formats that are technically available.

  3. STEP 03

    Download what you need

    Choose a format and download. We prefer original and best-available sources over forced re-encoding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about what GrablyMedia can and cannot do.

What is GrablyMedia?

GrablyMedia is a free online public media downloader. You paste a public URL from a supported platform, GrablyMedia analyzes that link, and it lists the real video, image, and audio formats that are technically available so you can save a file in your browser.

It is built for source quality when the platform exposes an original or best-available file. GrablyMedia does not require an account, and it does not claim to unlock private, login-only, or copyright-restricted media.

How do I download a public video with GrablyMedia?

To download a public video with GrablyMedia, copy a public link from a supported platform, paste it into the downloader on GrablyMedia, and choose Analyze. When analysis succeeds, review the listed formats (resolution, container, size, and audio when the API returns them), then download the option you need.

Use a URL that opens without logging in. If the post is private, expired, geo-blocked, or the platform hides the source, GrablyMedia will show an error instead of a fake download button.

Which platforms does GrablyMedia support?

GrablyMedia supports public media URLs from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, X (Twitter), and Dailymotion. Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest are first-class resolvers; other platforms are supported when public metadata exposes a downloadable source.

Support always depends on the individual URL being public and reachable. Dedicated landing pages such as the Instagram downloader and YouTube downloader explain platform-specific URL types. Browse all targets on the platforms index.

Is GrablyMedia free to use?

Yes. GrablyMedia’s core analyze-and-download flow is free for personal use of public media. You can paste a URL, review formats, and download without creating an account.

Rate limits may apply so the service stays reliable for everyone. Availability of a given file still depends on the source platform exposing a public downloadable format for that URL.

Can I download private, friends-only, or login-walled posts?

No. GrablyMedia only analyzes publicly accessible media URLs. Private Instagram accounts, friends-only Facebook videos, members-only YouTube, expired stories, and anything that requires you to log in are not supported.

The product will not ask for your platform password or session to bypass those restrictions. If a link is not public, analysis fails with a clear error so you can try another public URL.

Does GrablyMedia re-encode or compress every file?

No. GrablyMedia prefers original or best-available sources whenever the platform exposes them. Converted formats are listed only when the backend reports a converted option, not as a default for every download.

Quality badges such as original or best available appear only when the API confirms them. If a platform only offers a compressed rendition, that is what you will see — GrablyMedia does not invent a higher resolution.

Is it legal to download videos with GrablyMedia?

You may use GrablyMedia only for public media you have the right to access and save, and you must follow copyright law and each platform’s terms of service. GrablyMedia provides a general-purpose analyzer; it does not grant you a license to other people’s content.

Downloading copyrighted videos without permission can be illegal even if the post is public. Use the tool for your own public posts, content you have authorization to archive, or media that is clearly offered for download. See the Terms of Service and Copyright page for the full rules.

Why did analysis fail?

Analysis fails when GrablyMedia cannot obtain a public, downloadable source for that URL. Common causes are a private or restricted post, an expired Instagram story, an unsupported or malformed link, a geo-blocked video, or a platform change that hides metadata.

Read the error on the page — it is meant to describe the real limitation. Fix the URL, confirm it opens in a logged-out browser, and try another public link. Repeated refresh will not unlock content the resolver cannot see.

A straightforward public media downloader

GrablyMedia helps you retrieve publicly available media from supported platforms without unnecessary re-encoding. Paste a URL, review the formats returned by our analyzers, and download the option that fits your needs.

The product focuses on clarity: real status messages while analyzing, accurate quality labels from the backend, and errors that explain what went wrong without blame.

When to use GrablyMedia

Use GrablyMedia for public posts, open videos, and media you are allowed to save — for example offline viewing, archiving your own content, or working with openly shared assets. Always respect platform terms and copyright law.

If a link is private, geo-restricted, or otherwise unavailable, analysis will fail with a clear message so you can try a different public URL.
