Keep the video before you lose the tab
You already copied the link — from Share, from the address bar, from a message someone sent. Nothing happens on this screen yet; it simply sends you to the right tool so the next paste actually works.
Pick the site
Tap the card that matches the app you copied from. On the next page, paste the link, wait a moment for formats to appear, then save MP4 — all inside the browser tab you already have open.
This page is the map. Each tool below reads one kind of link, so a Reel is not treated like a TikTok or an X post. Open the matching page, paste the URL you copied, and save the MP4 in the browser you already have open.
If you already know the app, use the cards. If you want the details first — which links work, what to copy from the share sheet, and where the file lands — read the short guide for that site.
Instagram video downloader
Instagram links come in a few shapes: a Reel, a feed post, or an IGTV clip. Copy the link from Share, or from the address bar if you opened it on the web. Then use the Instagram video downloader and paste that URL. The page lists the MP4 qualities Instagram exposes for that public post.
Private accounts, stories that have expired, and posts you cannot open in a browser without logging in will not list a file. If the Reel plays for you while logged out, the Instagram downloader can usually offer the same clip as an MP4. On a phone, confirm the browser download prompt and look in Downloads or the Files app.
Keep the original link. A screenshot of the Reel, or a link that only opens the profile, is not enough. The tool needs the post URL, the same one you would send to a friend.
Facebook video downloader
Facebook videos travel as Reels, watch links, and fb.watch short URLs. Copy whichever link the app gives you from Share. Open the Facebook video downloader, paste it, and pick the MP4 that appears. Group posts and page videos work the same way when the video is public.
A link that only opens the Facebook home feed, or a post restricted to friends, will not produce a file. If you can play the video in a private browser window, the Facebook downloader is the page to use. Save the MP4 from the browser prompt; the site does not keep a copy for you.
fb.watch links are fine. You do not need to expand them first. Paste the short link as copied.
X (Twitter) video downloader
On X, the video sits inside a post. Open the post, copy its link from Share or from the address bar, and paste it on the X video downloader. The page looks for the video attached to that status and offers it as an MP4.
A profile URL, a search page, or a post that only has photos will not list a video. The X downloader needs the status link, the one with the post id in it. That works for both x.com and twitter.com addresses.
After the file saves, you can close the tab. The clip is on your device, not tied to the timeline you copied it from.
TikTok video downloader
TikTok share links are often short, from the share sheet or from vm.tiktok.com. Copy that link and open the TikTok video downloader. Paste it once. The page resolves the clip and shows the MP4 you can save.
The TikTok downloader expects a video link, not a profile or a sound page. If the clip was removed or is not available in a browser, nothing will be listed — retry on Wi-Fi once, then check that the same URL still plays on TikTok.
No extra app is required. The browser download is the file. On iPhone that usually lands in Files; on Android it lands in Downloads.
