Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether I have a direct video link?
A direct file URL returns the video bytes rather than a web page. It may end in .mp4, .webm or .mov, but an extension is not required: we check the file header.
Can this tool download a YouTube or TikTok page?
No. This tool downloads publicly accessible video files. It does not extract videos from platform pages, bypass sign-in or process protected streams.
Will a WebM or MOV file become MP4?
No. Downloads preserve the original container. Use Link to MP4 when you already have a direct MP4 file link; neither tool transcodes video.
Does downloading reduce the quality?
The tool transfers the original file bytes without re-encoding. It does not offer resolution selection or quality conversion.
Are videos saved on videotolink?
Downloaded videos are not stored in R2 or added to upload history. A successful source validation consumes one use of your existing daily quota, shared with uploads. A later interrupted transfer may still use that quota.
Why might a public link fail?
The source may block server access, expire, use an unsupported container or header, exceed 100 MB or take too long. MOV files need a QuickTime ftyp header. IPv6-only sources are not supported.
