Save a video, or just its audio, from a link, trimmed to the part you want
Clip Downloader takes a link from YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitch, Vimeo and about 1,800 other sites and saves the video, or only its audio, to your computer. Paste the link and the page checks it at once: you see the title, the site, the length and the picture sizes on offer before anything is made, so a wrong link costs nothing but a glance.
Pick Video or Audio only. For video, choose the quality from the sizes the site has, and tick Editor-friendly to get an H.264 MP4 that opens in every editor and every player without a re-encode. For audio, choose MP3, M4A or WAV. Set a start and an end time and only that part is saved, so a two-hour stream becomes the three minutes you wanted. A job shows its progress while it runs, and when it finishes the file downloads from the page; your recent jobs stay listed with their download buttons for two weeks or until you remove them.
The tool is free with a Reality Fabricator account and spends no tokens. It exists because the people who make videos, podcasts and comics here kept needing a clean clip of something they had a link to, and a downloader that lives next to the editing studio saves a trip through a site full of pop-ups. It is for your own material, clips you have the right to use, and quotation: respect the copyright and the terms of the site a link comes from.

Frequently asked questions
Which sites does it work with?
Any site the downloader engine supports: YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitch clips and videos, Vimeo, Dailymotion, SoundCloud, Rumble, Kick, Bilibili and about 1,800 more. Paste the link and the check tells you at once whether it can be read.
Can I save only the audio?
Yes. Choose Audio only and pick MP3, M4A or WAV. The file is the sound alone, which is what you want for a podcast quote, a song or a talk.
Can I cut out just one part?
Yes. Enter a start time and an end time and only that stretch is saved. For a long stream this is much faster than saving the whole thing and cutting it afterwards.
What does Editor-friendly do?
Sites often serve video in formats that editors reject or play badly. Editor-friendly re-encodes the download to an H.264 MP4 with AAC sound, which every editor and player opens as is.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The tool is free with an account and spends no tokens. Finished files stay on the page for two weeks, so download them to your computer while they are there.
Is it legal?
Saving your own uploads, material you have permission to use, and short excerpts for quotation is normal use. Downloading other people's work to republish it is not, and the terms of the site a link comes from still apply. You are responsible for what you save and what you do with it.
