About GrabKar
Download video and audio from YouTube, Instagram and other yt-dlp-supported sites in the highest available quality, without ads, pop-ups or annoying redirect pages. Paste a link, choose video or audio, pick a folder and let GrabKar handle the rest.
Your favourite sites, in one app
GrabKar is powered by yt-dlp and supports links from its supported platforms. Popular examples include:
- YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok and Pinterest
- Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch, Reddit, Rumble, Odysee, Bilibili and VK
- SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Mixcloud, Internet Archive and 9GAG
These are examples, not the complete list: GrabKar works with other sites supported by yt-dlp too.
Highest available quality
Select Best to download the highest-quality streams available for your link, or choose 4K, 1440p, 1080p or 720p. Save video as MP4 with sound, or extract audio as MP3. Available quality depends on the original upload and the formats the source provides.
Straight to your downloads
No downloader-site ads, pop-up windows, fake download buttons or annoying redirect pages. Start downloads directly inside GrabKar and save them to your chosen folder. No Terminal commands or separate developer tools are needed.
Made for your desktop
The Mac installer is Universal for Intel and Apple Silicon. The Windows x64 installer includes the download tools and can install Microsoft WebView2 when needed.
