Any video.
Exactly how you want it.

Paste a link and VID-STAR pulls the highest quality stream the source offers, merges the audio back in, and hands you one clean file. No watermarks, no re-encoding, no guesswork.

Why VID-STAR

Built to get the file right the first time.

  1. Highest quality, always

    VID-STAR asks the source for the best stream it has, up to 8K, and never silently hands you a 360p fallback.

  2. Sound is never left behind

    Most high quality streams ship video and audio separately. VID-STAR fetches both and muxes them into one file as it streams to you.

  3. Whole posts, not just one clip

    Carousels, threads and slideshows come back as a grid. Save one item or all of them, plus a slideshow's soundtrack.

Options

One link. Taken exactly how you want it.

Pick video, audio or mute, then fine-tune the rest in Options. Every choice is remembered for next time.

8K

Video

Picture and sound in one file, at the best resolution the source has. H.264 MP4 by default, so it plays everywhere.

Audio

The original track untouched, or MP3, OGG, Opus and WAV up to 320 kbps.

Mute

The picture alone, with the sound track left out.

VP9 and AV1

Unlock 1440p, 4K and 8K on YouTube, in WebM, MP4 or MKV.

Subtitles and dubs

Embed subtitles in your language, or take a YouTube dub instead of the original.

The extras

Real GIFs from X, HEVC from TikTok, a TikTok's full original sound.

On YouTube, H.264 tops out at 1080p because the ladder stops there. For 1440p and 4K, switch the codec to VP9 or AV1.

How it works

Three steps. About ten seconds.

  1. 01

    Paste a link

    Drop in a post or video from any supported service. The download starts on its own.

  2. 02

    Set it up once

    Choose video, audio or mute, then tune quality, codec, subtitles, dubs and file names. VID-STAR remembers.

  3. 03

    Save it

    The file is assembled on the fly and streamed straight to your browser. Nothing is written to the server.

Paste the link. Take the best.
