HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. That's it.

Copy a public link, paste it into SMDownloader, preview the result, then save the file.

Copy the link

Open any public post, reel, clip, or media page and copy the URL from your browser or share menu.

Paste and preview

Drop the link into the field and click Download. We detect the platform, fetch the media, and show a preview — nothing is stored on our servers.

Save the file

Preview your file, then save it to your phone, tablet, or desktop. The file is saved only when you choose a download option in your browser.

WHY SMDOWNLOADER

Social media downloader features

Paste a public share link from nine supported networks. Preview in your browser, then save — no app install, account, or browser extension.

What you get

Preview before you save

See the media in your browser before you keep the file — so you know you grabbed the right post.

Best available quality

We save the best file the post actually exposes — we don't upscale or promise 4K when the source doesn't offer it.

Built for mobile

Use it from your phone, tablet, or desktop without installing an app.

Loads only what it needs

One page, one paste field. No install, no signup, no 200 MB app.

What links will not work

We turn away bad requests instead of overpromising. These limits protect users, platforms, and our operators.

  • Bypass private accounts, close-friends stories, or login-only posts.
  • Bulk-scrape entire profiles, hashtags, or channels automatically.
  • Promise universal no-watermark, 4K, or DRM-free output when the source does not expose it.
  • Harvest credentials, sessions, or cookies from your browser.
  • Host, archive, or resell third-party media — processing is temporary only.

Responsible use & policy links

SMDownloaderis independent software — not a social network or media host. We answer your paste request, stream bytes to your device, and do not build a public library of other people's work.

  • Public-access links

    Works with posts you can open without logging in. Private accounts and login-walled URLs are not supported.

  • No app or account

    Paste a link in the browser. No extension, no app install, and no social login on our side.

  • Preview before save

    See the media in your browser before you keep the file — so you know you grabbed the right post.

  • Respect creator rights

    Save only what you own or have permission to keep. Public visibility is not a download license.

  • No permanent media library

    We fetch your link when you ask — we don't build a public archive of other people's work.

  • Use only content you own, have permission to save, or are legally allowed to download.
  • Do not use SMDownloader to infringe copyright or privacy rights.
  • Do not use it to bypass access restrictions, login walls, DRM, or platform limits.
  • Respect each platform's terms and the rights of creators.
