What a free downloader costs, asks for, and keeps
A page that gives something away invites an obvious question about the catch. There are three fair versions of that question, and each has a short answer.

Paste a public video or playlist URL.
Quick check — then you can download

Three things worth settling before you trust a download page
Nobody reads a privacy policy before saving a clip, and nobody should have to. The doubt about a free tool comes down to three concerns, and each of them can be answered in a sentence or two.
The first is money: whether free means free today and paid tomorrow. The second is what you are asked to hand over in place of money. The third is what the service holds on to once you have your file. The rest of this page answers those three in order.
The price, and the two limits that come with it
Downloading here costs nothing and there is no trial clock running against you. What free carries instead is two plain limits, both stated up front rather than discovered halfway through.
You get three downloads a day, and the allowance returns to three at midnight UTC. Any single file has to come in under 150 MB, and the size of every row is printed beside it before you choose. Pro is the paid option: it removes the daily count, removes the size ceiling, and removes the advertising. Nothing else is held back behind it, and no feature quietly stops working on the free side.
Where the money for a free download comes from
Serving files costs something to run, so it is fair to ask who pays. Two sources cover it: advertising shown on the free pages, and the people who take Pro.
That arrangement is why the limits are shaped the way they are. Three files a day and a 150 MB ceiling cover ordinary use for most visitors, and the people whose work needs large files repeatedly are the ones the paid tier is aimed at.
What you are asked to hand over
One thing: the address of the video you want. There is no registration step, no email field, no card details, and no phone number.
Nothing is installed on your machine either, so there is no program in your applications list and no browser add-on holding a permission to read the pages you visit. Because there is no account, there is also no password to reuse, no confirmation email, and no marketing list to leave later.
- Given: the address you paste into the box.
- Not given: an email address, a password, a card, or a phone number.
- Not installed: any program, extension, or background process on your device.
- Not requested: access to files already on your storage.
What is kept once the transfer ends
The copy prepared for you sits on a short timer and then expires. It is not filed under your name, because there is no name attached to it, and there is no library page you can return to next week to pick it up again.
That has one practical consequence for you. Start the transfer while the results list is still in front of you rather than preparing a file and wandering off, because coming back later means running the address again.
What lives on your device instead
The file your browser wrote is yours from the moment the transfer completes. It plays with the connection switched off, it survives the source page being deleted or made private, and it moves onto a memory stick or another computer like any other document.
That is the difference between a download and a bookmark, and it is the whole reason to save something rather than trust a page to still be there.
Asking the same three questions of any other page
The three questions travel. Point them at any download page you find and the vague ones fail quickly.
Ask what the limits are and whether they are stated before you start. Ask what the page requires beyond the address of the video. Ask what it keeps afterwards and for how long. A page that answers all three in plain words has told you what you needed; a page that answers none of them has told you something as well.
Questions about using a free download page
Is free here a trial that turns into a bill later?
No. There is no countdown and no card on file, because no card is collected. Pro is a separate paid choice you make deliberately, not a state your free use drifts into.
What am I giving up in exchange for a free download?
Your attention on the advertising shown beside the tool, and nothing else. No email address, no card details, and no access to anything stored on your device.
Is there a record of the videos I have downloaded that I can look at?
No. Without an account there is nothing to attach a history to, and the prepared copy expires on a short timer rather than waiting in a library.
Why is there a daily count at all if the tool is free?
Preparing and serving files costs money to run. Three a day covers ordinary use, and the people who need more than that regularly are who the paid tier exists for.
Can I use this without letting the advertising load?
The advertising is what funds free downloads, so leaving it in place is the fair exchange. Pro removes it from the pages entirely for people who would rather pay than see it.
If the service disappeared tomorrow, would I lose my videos?
No. Every file you saved is written to your own storage and plays with no connection, so nothing about this page has to exist for those files to keep working.
