Download any video,
from any platform

MediaDrop is a free online video downloader that makes saving videos from the web simple and fast. Whether you want to download a tutorial from YouTube, a clip from TikTok, a Reel from Instagram, or a video from Facebook, MediaDrop handles it all through one clean, browser-based interface — no software installation required.

The idea behind an online video downloader is straightforward: instead of relying on a desktop application or a browser extension, you simply visit the site, paste your video URL, and download the file directly to your device. MediaDrop works this way for every platform it supports. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no personal information required.

How to download videos online

Using MediaDrop takes three steps. First, find the video you want on any supported platform and copy its URL from the address bar. Second, paste that URL into the input box at the top of this page and click the parse button. Third, choose the format and quality you prefer from the list of available options and click Download. The file saves directly to your device — phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.

Supported platforms

MediaDrop currently offers dedicated download pages for YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter/X. Beyond these, the tool supports hundreds of additional websites through its underlying engine, making it one of the most versatile social media downloaders available online. If a platform serves publicly accessible video, there is a good chance MediaDrop can handle it.

Supported devices

MediaDrop is designed to work on any device with a modern browser. Windows and Mac computers, iPhones, Android phones, and tablets all work without any extra configuration. The interface adapts to smaller screens automatically, so mobile users get the same clean experience as desktop users. There is no separate mobile app to download — the website is the app.

Download formats

The formats available for each download depend on what the original video was uploaded in. For most YouTube and Facebook videos, MP4 is the primary option — it plays on every device and media player without any conversion needed. WebM is another common format, offering excellent quality at smaller file sizes. For those who only need the audio, audio-only streams in M4A or WebM format are listed separately, making MediaDrop a practical mp4 downloader and audio extractor in one.

Common use cases

People use an online video downloader like MediaDrop for many reasons. Saving a tutorial or lecture to review offline is one of the most common. Others download travel videos, music performances, workout guides, or documentary clips they want to keep for personal reference. Teachers and content researchers sometimes save publicly available footage for educational purposes. In each case, MediaDrop provides a fast, private, and straightforward way to download videos online without unnecessary steps or costs.

If you are looking for a reliable video downloader online that works across platforms, requires no signup, and respects your privacy, MediaDrop is built for exactly that purpose.
