Download Videos From Any Website
ScreenApp is a free all video downloader that runs in your browser. Paste a URL from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Discord, or any of 1000+ supported sites and save the file to your device. No desktop app, no extension, no account.
The free tier covers 3 downloads per month. Paid plans remove the limit for $19/month on an annual plan.
How to Download a Video From a URL
- Copy the video link from the source page (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Discord, Facebook, Twitter, or any other site).
- Paste the URL into the downloader.
- Pick a quality: 4K, HD, SD, or the original format.
- Click Download. The file saves directly to your device.
Most videos finish in seconds. A 5-minute HD clip typically processes in 10 to 15 seconds. 4K files take longer because of size.
Supported Platforms
The same paste-and-download flow works across every supported site. A few popular ones:
- YouTube - videos, shorts, and playlists in up to 4K
- TikTok - no watermark, plus duets, stitches, and slideshows
- Instagram - reels, stories, and feed videos from public posts
- Discord - videos from servers, group chats, and DMs using the CDN link
- Facebook - public videos and reels
- Twitter / X - video posts
- Vimeo - up to 4K where the source offers it
- 1000+ other sites - if the page has a video URL, try pasting it
Private or paywalled content (members-only posts, paid streaming) is not accessible.
Formats and Quality
The tool outputs MP4, WebM, MKV, and AVI. MP4 is the default because it plays on almost any device. Quality goes up to 4K on sources that offer it (YouTube and Vimeo mostly), with HD and SD as options for smaller files.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser over HTTPS. There is no installer, no browser extension, no tracking script, and no pop-up ads. Nothing on your machine changes.
Avoid tools with these traits:
- Heavy pop-ups or redirects (Y2Mate is the common example)
- Downloads that bundle extra installers
- Requests for your login to YouTube, Instagram, or other platforms
- Unsigned desktop software from unknown publishers

A quick read of the options:
- 4K Video Downloader is cheaper at $15/year Lite, but you have to install the desktop app and it supports fewer sites.
- yt-dlp is free and the widest-reach option at 1,700+ sites, but it is command-line only and needs Python and FFmpeg.
- Snap Downloader has a one-time $39.99 lifetime license, also desktop-only.
- Y2Mate is free in-browser like ScreenApp, but comes with pop-ups, malware risk, and a 60-minute cap.
ScreenApp trades the lowest price for no install, wide site coverage, and a clean browser experience.
