About PasteGrab
PasteGrab is a focused browser-based downloader for public media. Paste a URL, preview formats, 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.
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 previewing the link, then confirm the available options before you start a download. We queue a job, process the media remotely, and provide a save link when finished.
Platforms and formats
PasteGrab supports 40+ public hosts, including TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Vimeo, Reddit, Twitch, and SoundCloud. Each platform has a dedicated page with URL examples and troubleshooting.
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.
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. 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.
