About PasteGrab
PasteGrab is a focused link-based downloader for public media. Paste a URL, choose a format, and save the file — without installing desktop software.
What PasteGrab is
PasteGrab turns a public media link into a file on your device. You paste a URL from a supported host, review title and format options, then download MP4 video or MP3 audio. PasteGrab is not a video hosting service, a social network, or a content library — we process links you provide and hand back a direct download when the job completes.
Who PasteGrab is for
The product is built for people who need a straightforward save workflow: content creators archiving reference clips, educators preparing offline teaching materials, marketing teams collecting licensed campaign assets, and researchers capturing public-domain or openly licensed media. Browse use cases for role-specific examples.
How downloads work
PasteGrab validates your URL in the browser, then resolves metadata and available formats on our servers using yt-dlp. You choose a preset (best quality, MP4, MP3, 720p, or smallest file) before or after analysis. When you start a download, we queue a job, process the media remotely, and provide a save link when finished. Read the full walkthrough on how it works.
Platforms and formats
PasteGrab supports 43 public hosts, including TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Vimeo, Reddit, Twitch, and SoundCloud. Each platform has a dedicated page with URL examples and troubleshooting. See the full platform list or start from downloader guides.
What we do not do
PasteGrab does not offer a YouTube downloader, does not bypass DRM or paywalls, and does not access private or login-only pages. We block attempts to fetch restricted sources and log compliance events when policy boundaries are tested. Read our Acceptable use policy for permitted and prohibited uses.
Technology and reliability
The web app is a Next.js frontend with a backend API that runs yt-dlp jobs. Free-tier infrastructure applies fair-use limits on file size and rate. Completed jobs and output files may be deleted after a retention window described in limits documentation and pricing. We improve supported hosts and formats over time without guaranteeing every public page will always resolve.
Principles
- Public links only — save media you have rights to keep.
- No account required for core downloads.
- Clear format labels before you commit to a job.
- Owner-only admin access, not advertised on the public homepage.
