The video downloader for Windows that just works

Grabbit is a free desktop app to download videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Pinterest, Twitch and SoundCloud directly to your PC. Unlike web-based tools full of fake buttons and malware, Grabbit runs 100% on your computer — no account, no cloud upload, no ads injected into your downloads. Just paste a link and save the video in MP4, or extract the audio as MP3.

The biggest pain with online downloaders is that they break every time YouTube changes something. Grabbit solves this with a self-updating download engine: the moment a platform changes its format, the app updates itself silently in the background, so you never see the dreaded "couldn't parse this link" error. This is the same technology that powers the most reliable open-source downloaders, bundled into a clean app anyone can use — no Python, no command line, no configuration.

Need to download many videos at once? Batch mode lets you paste up to 50 links or import a .txt file and queue them all automatically. Want just the text of a video? Transcript mode extracts the full spoken script of any YouTube video as a clean .txt file — perfect for reading, summarizing, or feeding to AI. Following creators? The Watch channel browser lets you keep up with YouTube channels and download new videos with one click.

Whether you want to save a YouTube video to watch offline, convert a music video to MP3, download Instagram Reels to your PC, or archive a whole playlist before it disappears, Grabbit does it fast and in the original quality — up to 4K and 8K where the platform allows. Download it free for Windows and grab your first video in under a minute.
