About VidGrab
VidGrab was built with a simple mission: make downloading online videos fast, free, and private for everyone.
Launched in 2024, VidGrab is an independent, free online tool for downloading videos and audio from YouTube and other major platforms. We believe that if content is publicly available on the internet, people should be able to save it for offline personal use — without intrusive ads, without forced registration, and without compromising their privacy.
VidGrab is powered by the open-source yt-dlp engine, the most robust and reliable video extraction technology available. We combine this with FFmpeg for high-quality audio and video processing, ensuring your downloads match the original source quality as closely as possible.
Our Principles
Free Forever. VidGrab has no premium tiers, no download limits, and no hidden fees. We sustain the service through minimal, non-intrusive display advertising — never pop-ups, never redirects.
Privacy First. We don't require accounts, don't track users, and don't store download histories. Files are automatically deleted from our servers 10 minutes after processing. VidGrab is fully GDPR-compliant.
Quality Matters. We don't compromise on quality. Our MP3 downloads are genuine extractions at up to 320kbps. Our video downloads support up to 4K resolution. We don't upscale, we don't re-compress, and we don't add watermarks.
Open Technology. VidGrab is built on open-source foundations and we give back to the community. The tools that power our service are freely available for anyone to use and improve.
