Safety guide

Video download safety, copyright, and permissions

The safest rule is simple: download videos only when you created them, own them, licensed them, or have explicit permission from the rights holder.

Green-light examples

Your own raw footage, your brand's uploaded videos, client-approved assets, public-domain videos, licensed stock footage, and direct files shared by a teammate are generally appropriate uses.

Red-light examples

Do not download copyrighted shows, music videos, creator posts, private clips, paywalled videos, or platform-protected content without permission.

Why this matters

A trustworthy downloader needs to protect users, rights holders, advertisers, and the site owner. Clear limits make the tool more durable than short-term traffic tricks.
