Sources & formats

Clear about what works. Honest about what varies.

Available source adapters

The app lists Instagram, TikTok, X / Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Vimeo and SoundCloud, plus public direct media links. Current application source adds LinkedIn, Pinterest and Threads. Build from source for the additions; the published v0.1.0 images retain their original scope. Availability depends on the post, region, upstream changes and hosting access.

LinkedIn, Pinterest and Threads

  • LinkedIn: public video posts and activity links, including lnkd.in redirects. Learning courses and authenticated content are excluded.
  • Pinterest: public video pins and original single-image pins, including pin.it and regional domains. Boards and story galleries are excluded.
  • Threads: public post links on threads.com or threads.net with media in page JSON. Single videos, images and image-only collections up to 20 items. Login walls and mixed/video carousels are unsupported.

Real download evidence

  • TikTok: the submitted public sample completed a 2,178,061-byte video download on v0.1.0.
  • SoundCloud: a public NASA audio sample was downloaded on the cloud instance.
  • Direct media: owned video, images, MP3 conversion, ranges and deletion have actual checks.

Let the source decide

MP4 is offered when codecs are compatible; WebM or MKV can appear too. Audio, thumbnails and subtitles appear only when available. Direct images and bounded image collections returned by an extractor are supported. Dedicated Instagram/TikTok photo-gallery extraction remains deferred.

Outside v0.1

  • YouTube downloads.
  • Private, paid, authenticated or DRM-protected media.
  • Live streams, full playlists, bulk downloads and watermark removal.
