Paste a direct video link or an HLS (.m3u8) stream URL below — Clipmoth fetches, decrypts, and saves it as a file. No extension. No install.
MP4, WebM, MP3, M4A, WAV and more — any direct media URL your browser can fetch.
Adaptive streams used by many news, live and VOD sites. Clipmoth picks the best quality, fetches every segment, and stitches them into one file — including AES-128 encrypted streams.
Blocked from browser-based tools by design. Get the desktop app for reliable, high-quality downloads from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and more.
A direct .mp4/.mp3 link, or the .m3u8 playlist URL from your browser's network tab or the page itself.
Clipmoth detects the format, picks the best quality variant, and starts fetching — decrypting AES-128 streams on the fly.
Segments are stitched into a single clean file and saved straight to your device. No watermark, no re-encoding, no quality loss.
One $9.99 key unlocks every Clipmoth app — use whichever fits the moment.

No. Everything happens locally in your browser — the video data goes straight from the source site to your download, never through our servers.
Sites like YouTube actively block automated extraction from browser pages, and reliably bypassing that requires native tooling. Our desktop app handles it properly (including 4K/8K); this web tool focuses on direct links and HLS streams it can access safely.
Some sites restrict cross-origin access (CORS) or use DRM your browser can't decrypt. When that happens, the desktop app can usually still save it because it isn't limited by browser security rules.
10 downloads per rolling day, tracked on this device only. Premium removes the limit across every Clipmoth app you use.
Free, private, and already open in your browser.
