Getting started

Start with a public video link. These steps take you from preview to a saved file. For mobile tips and troubleshooting, see how PasteGrab works.

Your first download

1. Open the homepage or a platform page such as TikTok or Vimeo.
2. Paste a public page URL into the Video URL field.
3. Select Preview formats to check the title, duration, and available files.
4. Select a format chip: Best, MP4, MP3, 720p, or smallest file. See supported formats for preset meanings.
5. Select Download and wait for the progress indicator to finish.
6. Use the output download link to save the file. Jobs and files are retained for a limited period — see limits.

What your browser remembers

PasteGrab uses local storage to improve repeat visits within the same browser:

• pastegrab:resolve-cache (sessionStorage) — caches preview results so switching formats does not re-fetch metadata unnecessarily.
• theme (localStorage) — remembers light or dark mode via next-themes.
• pastegrab:cookie-consent (localStorage) — stores your cookie banner choice. See Cookie Policy.

Accounts

Downloads work without signing in. The site owner can sign in for history and admin tools. See FAQ for account questions.

Acceptable use

Only download media you have rights to save. Private, DRM-protected, and login-walled sources are out of scope. Read acceptable use before automating or batch workflows.
