Video Downloader & Crop Studio

The Video Downloader and Crop Studio works with video links and video files in your browser. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Snapchat link and the tool reads the official details, shows the official player and gives you timestamp and clean share links, plus every thumbnail size a YouTube video publishes. Paste a direct MP4, MP3 or WebM file link to download it when the host allows browser access. For a video file already on your device, the Crop Studio cuts the frame and trims the clip, and the audio extractor saves the sound as a WAV file. A built-in transcription panel can turn the audio into text. It is free, with no sign-in, and all file work happens in your browser.

Important — please read before using

Only download videos that you own or that are free to download. Do not download other people's videos, lectures or films without permission. Platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat keep their video and audio behind login or protected streams, so no web page can pull those files — saving a video from them is done inside the official app. This tool never fakes a Download button for a video it cannot fetch.

How to use it

  1. Online link: paste a video link or a direct media file URL, then tap "Read Link". The tool shows the official details, player and thumbnail options.
  2. Local file: switch to "Local Video / Audio File", choose a video or audio file from your device, and use "Extract Audio as WAV" or the Crop Studio.
  3. Crop Studio: set the crop percentages (top, right, bottom, left) or use a preset — for example "Cut bottom strip (14%)" — set the start and end seconds, then tap "Crop & Save video".
  4. Transcription: open the transcription panel, press Play on the media player, then tap "Start Transcription".

Try it

Paste the address of any public direct MP4 file link you own — for example a lecture recording hosted on your own site — and tap "Read Link". Or, for the Crop Studio, choose a short video file from your device, tap "Cut bottom strip (14%)", set the end to 10 seconds, and tap "Crop & Save video" to download the cropped clip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I download any YouTube or TikTok video with this tool?
A: No. Those platforms protect their video streams, so no web page can pull the file. The tool reads the official details and shows the official player and thumbnails; downloading is done inside the official app.

Q: What does the Crop Studio do?
A: It cuts the frame of a video file already on your device — for example removing a strip from the bottom — and trims the clip to a start and end time, then saves the new video. Encoding runs in your browser at playback speed.

Q: Is my video uploaded anywhere?
A: No. File work, cropping and audio extraction all happen in your browser, and your files never leave your device.
