🌐 Web Version — Key Advantages

The web version is perfect for quick, one-off downloads without any installation. It's completely free, works in any browser on any device, and is especially strong for TikTok, Vimeo, Dailymotion, SoundCloud, TED Talks, BBC News, and hundreds of other open platforms.

🖥️ Desktop App — Key Advantages

The desktop app is the full-featured solution for power users who need the most popular platforms — YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X — along with batch downloading, format conversion, 4K quality, and 1,800+ supported sites.

Which One Should You Choose?

🌐 Use the Web Version if...

  • You just need TikTok, Vimeo, or SoundCloud downloads occasionally
  • You're on a shared or temporary computer
  • You don't want to install anything

🖥️ Use the Desktop App if...

  • You download from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter/X regularly
  • You need batch downloads for playlists or channels
  • You want MP3 conversion or other format options
  • You need the widest platform support — 1,800+ sites
