How it works
Open the RTVE page in your browser and copy the address bar URL or the platform's share link. For RTVE, working links usually match patterns like https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/example/1234567/. Avoid profile homepages or search results — PasteGrab needs the direct page that contains the media file.
Return to this page, paste the URL into the downloader bar, and select Best quality, MP4, MP3, 720p, or Smallest file before you preview the formats. Format choice happens upfront so you know what you are requesting before our servers contact RTVE. After preview, additional formats may appear if yt-dlp discovers more streams on that page.
Click Preview formats (or press Enter) to fetch metadata — title, duration, and available streams. This step confirms the link is valid and shows you what PasteGrab can extract. If the page is geo-blocked, login-gated, or private, the preview fails with a clear error instead of silently producing a broken file.
When preview succeeds, click Start download to queue the job. You land on a progress page that tracks status until the file is ready. Save the output to your device from the download link. Large RTVE videos may take longer depending on length and server load, but you can leave the tab open while processing continues.
Guests can download without an account. If you sign in, completed jobs appear in History so you can retrieve recent RTVE downloads without re-pasting links. History is optional — the core downloader remains free and link-first.
Benefits
You already have the RTVE link. PasteGrab never asks you to upload source video to our servers — we fetch from the public page directly, which saves time and bandwidth.
Choose MP4 for editing, MP3 for podcasts and voiceovers, or Best quality when you want the highest merged stream yt-dlp can assemble from RTVE.
The downloader bar is responsive. Paste from the RTVE mobile app share sheet, switch to Safari or Chrome, and download without installing a native app.
Every job gets a status page with percentage and stage updates. You always know whether PasteGrab is resolving, downloading, or ready — no mystery spinners.
Teams working with RTVE content get a consistent output path: same UI, same formats, same acceptable-use policy across every supported platform.
This guide is written for real users, not keyword stuffing. You get troubleshooting, FAQs, and internal links to related downloaders when RTVE is not the platform you need.
Features
Metadata and stream discovery use yt-dlp extractors maintained for RTVE. When RTVE changes page structure, upstream updates improve compatibility.
Best quality, MP4, 720p, MP3, and Smallest file cover most RTVE use cases — from master edits to lightweight sharing.
Press Enter to preview or download. A one-tap Paste button reads your clipboard when the browser allows it.
The input shows realistic RTVE link shapes so you know what to paste before you start.
Unsupported hosts and private pages surface as readable errors so you can fix the link quickly.

Output
PasteGrab exposes format presets before preview and may reveal additional streams afterward depending on what RTVE publishes for that URL. Video pages typically offer MP4 output; audio-heavy RTVE posts may map cleanly to MP3.
If you need the smallest possible file for messaging apps or email attachments, choose Smallest file. For archival or re-editing, start with Best quality and only downshift if storage or bandwidth requires it.
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Best quality | Merges the best video and audio streams available on the RTVE page into a single file. |
| MP4 | Standard H.264-style output suitable for playback, slides, and most editors. |
| MP3 | Audio-only export when the RTVE post is music, speech, or background audio you do not need visually. |
| 720p | Caps video height for faster downloads and smaller storage on long RTVE clips. |
| Smallest file | Prioritizes compact output when quality is less important than speed. |
Devices
Copy a share link from the RTVE app or site, paste in Safari or Chrome on this page, and save to Downloads or Files.
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge with direct RTVE permalinks.
Share → Copy link, then paste in mobile Safari or Chrome.
Same workflow as phones.
Support
Use a direct RTVE media permalink (rtve.es/play video permalink). Avoid home feeds, search pages, and profile grids.
Long HD files take time to package server-side. Keep the job tab open or retry with 720p or Smallest file.
Spain geo-blocks and live-only streams may fail. Test the link logged out in incognito before retrying.
