Downloads are a premium feature reserved for paid accounts. This approach ensures that our platform remains scalable, focused, and continually evolving. Below are the key reasons for this decision.

Scalability and Performance

To manage the growing demand on our platform, we limit resource-heavy features like downloads to paid accounts. Allowing downloads for all users would significantly strain our infrastructure, potentially slowing down video processing and affecting the overall user experience.

Focused Value for Free Users

The core purpose of our free plan is to give users the ability to process and analyze videos with ease. Download functionality is an added benefit for paid accounts, allowing us to focus on delivering the most critical features without compromising platform reliability for free users.

Supporting Platform Innovation

Paid subscriptions not only unlock premium features like downloads but also help us fund continued innovation and platform improvements. By reserving downloads for paying users, we can reinvest in developing new features and enhancing the overall experience for all users.

For those who need regular access to downloads, our paid plans provide a seamless solution while supporting the sustainability and growth of the platform.
