Save Videos and Photos by Link

Want to keep a video or an image, but the platform's app only offers "add to favourites"? This bot takes a link and sends back the file, video or photo. It says it works with four big platforms: a video host, two photo-and-clip social networks and an image-idea service.

More than a million users suggest the idea is in demand. 🎬

One command, one link

The whole process is spelled out in the bot itself: tap /start and send a link. There is nothing to configure afterwards.

Take the link from the "Share" menu inside the platform's app. If you copy from a browser, make sure the address points to a specific post.

About the ads

The bot answers links for free, but it shows ads, and its profile has a contact line for advertisers. The /subscription command turns the ads off via a subscription.

We do not quote the subscription price: check it in the bot and decide if you need it. If you download a couple of clips a month, the ads are unlikely to bother you.

Video and photo, what to expect

• Video. Arrives as a file you can save, forward or watch offline.
• Photo. Useful for keeping an image from a post in its original form, with no screenshot.

The original sets the quality. The bot does not sharpen an image or turn a compressed video into a crisp one.

Three rules for tidy downloading

1. Remember the author. Saving someone's clip for private viewing is fine. Reposting it without consent is not.
2. Never type passwords. The bot asks only for a link. Any request for a code or login is a sign of fraud.
3. Be careful with ad links. Check where a banner leads before you tap it.

When you need a hand

The bot has a tech support contact listed in its profile. Write there if a link is rejected, a file arrives broken, or the bot stays silent for long.

Check the simple things first: the post must be public, the link complete, and the platform reachable. Private profiles are generally out of reach for bots like this.

Who finds it handy

People who want to download without a separate app and without dodgy sites full of pop-ups. Everything stays in Telegram, and the result sits in your chat history, easy to find later.

If you keep an archive of materials or build collections, it helps that the files stay in the chat: nothing vanishes along with the original post.
