How It Works

Download any video in three simple steps

Paste Any URL

Copy the link of any page that has a video — news sites, streaming platforms, social media, or anything else.

Browse & Play

Our virtual browser opens the page for you. Just navigate and play the video — we'll automatically detect every stream in the background.

Pick & Download

Choose from detected streams — MP4, HLS/M3U8, DASH and more. Select the format and quality that suits you best.

Why VideoFetch?

Everything you need to capture and download online video streams

VideoFetch was built for anyone who needs to save a video from the web without relying on shady browser extensions, complex command-line tools, or risky third-party sites. By running a real virtual browser on our servers, VideoFetch loads the actual page just like you would — JavaScript, iframes, and all — detects every video stream automatically, and lets you download exactly what you want.

Real Virtual Browser

A full Chromium browser runs on our server. You see the actual page — JavaScript, iframes, paywalls and all — so it works where every other tool gives up.

Automatic Stream Detection

Every network request is monitored in real time. MP4, HLS/M3U8, DASH, and WebM streams are detected and listed the instant they appear on the page.

No Extension Required

Nothing to install. Works fully in your browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile. No browser extension, no desktop app, no admin rights needed.

Private & Secure

We never store your files. Download data flows from the source directly to your device. Your browsing session is isolated and permanently discarded after use.

Multi-Format Support

Download HLS streams, MP4 files, DASH segments, and WebM videos. Multiple detected formats appear simultaneously — pick the one that suits your needs.

No Account Required

No sign-up, no email, no subscription. Just paste a URL and start fetching immediately. Zero friction from start to download.

Works on Any Website

News sites, streaming portals, social media, e-learning platforms — if it plays video in a browser, VideoFetch can detect and download it.

About VideoFetch

VideoFetch is a free, browser-based tool that lets you browse any website through a cloud virtual browser, automatically detect every video stream, and download it directly to your device — no extensions, no software, no registration required.

What Is VideoFetch?

VideoFetch solves a problem that traditional video downloaders can't: capturing streams from websites that rely on JavaScript-heavy players, single-page applications, authentication gates, or adaptive streaming protocols like HLS and DASH. By running a real browser on our servers, VideoFetch loads the actual page exactly as you would, intercepts every network request, and surfaces all discovered video URLs in a live sidebar — ready for you to download with a single click.

How Does the Virtual Browser Work?

When you paste a URL, VideoFetch launches a dedicated Browser instance. The browser's screen is streamed to you in real time — you click, scroll, and navigate exactly like a real browser window. In the background, our browser monitors all outgoing network requests. The instant a video stream URL appears in those requests — whether it's an MP4 file, an HLS/M3U8 playlist, a DASH manifest, or a WebM stream — it's automatically added to the detection list in the sidebar.

Is It Safe and Private?

Absolutely. VideoFetch does not store any video files on our servers. When you click download, the stream link is passed directly to your browser, which handles the actual transfer. Each virtual browser session is fully isolated from all other users and is permanently destroyed at the end of your session. We do not log the URLs you visit, the content you view, or the files you download.

What Formats Are Supported?

VideoFetch detects any video format that the website loads into its player. This includes MP4 direct-download links, HLS adaptive streams (.m3u8), MPEG-DASH manifests (.mpd), WebM streams, TS segment URLs, and more. The formats available always depend on what the target website uses for video delivery — if the site can play it, VideoFetch can detect it.

Pro Tip: Play the Video First

After the virtual browser opens your URL, click Play on the video. The browser needs to actually request the video stream for VideoFetch to detect it. Once the video starts buffering, the stream URL will appear in the sidebar instantly.

Responsible Use

VideoFetch is intended for downloading videos you have the right to access and save. Please respect copyright laws and content creators' terms of service. Only download content you own or are legally permitted to store.

What Our Users Say

Thousands of users trust VideoFetch to download video streams every day

“I needed to download a lecture video from an online learning platform that doesn't offer a download button. VideoFetch opened the page through its virtual browser, I pressed play, and the stream appeared instantly in the sidebar. Downloaded it in seconds.”

Sarah K.

Graduate Student

“As a video editor, I constantly need reference footage from various sites. Other tools would fail because of JavaScript-based lazy-loaded players, but VideoFetch works perfectly — it sees exactly what the browser sees. The virtual browser idea is genius.”

Marcus T.

“Our team archives competitor product demo videos for marketing research. VideoFetch handles sites our previous tools couldn't touch, especially those using HLS adaptive streaming. It's become an essential part of our competitive research workflow.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about VideoFetch

Yes, VideoFetch is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or registration requirements. You can fetch and download as many videos as you need at no cost, with no daily limits.

VideoFetch works with virtually any website that serves video content in a browser. This includes news sites, educational platforms, video portals, sports streaming services, social media, online conferences, and more. If the video plays in a standard web browser, our virtual browser can detect its stream URL.

VideoFetch detects all common web video formats, including MP4 direct download links, HLS/M3U8 adaptive streams, MPEG-DASH manifests (.mpd), WebM files, and TS segment streams. The exact formats available depend entirely on what the target website uses for its video player.

When you enter a URL, VideoFetch launches a dedicated Chromium browser instance on our server. The browser's screen is streamed to you in real time as an interactive canvas. You can click, scroll, and navigate just like a real browser. In the background, our system intercepts all outgoing network requests, identifying video stream URLs as they appear and adding them to the detection sidebar automatically.

No. VideoFetch runs entirely in your web browser with no plugins, extensions, or software to install. It works on any modern browser including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Yes. VideoFetch does not store any video files on our servers. Download data flows directly from the source to your browser. Each virtual browser session is fully isolated and permanently destroyed after it ends. We do not log what URLs you visit, what streams you detect, or what files you download.

The most common reasons a stream may not be detected:

  • Video not played yet: You must click Play on the video inside the virtual browser. The stream only appears in network requests once playback starts.
  • DRM-protected content: Videos protected with Widevine or PlayReady DRM are encrypted and cannot be downloaded in a usable form.
  • Page still loading: Wait for the page to fully load before playing the video.
  • Login required: If the site requires authentication, log in through the virtual browser first before the video becomes accessible.

HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) is the most widely used video delivery format on the modern web. Instead of a single MP4 file, video is split into many small segments described by a playlist file (.m3u8). Most streaming platforms use HLS because it adapts quality to the viewer's connection speed. VideoFetch detects these .m3u8 playlist URLs so you can download and convert the stream into a standard video file.

Please only download videos you have the legal right to access and save. Downloading copyrighted content without the rights holder's permission is illegal in most jurisdictions. VideoFetch is designed for downloading your own content, content shared with you by its owner, or videos distributed under open licenses such as Creative Commons.

There are no daily caps or download count restrictions. You can fetch as many videos as you need. Each session runs in a separate, isolated virtual browser instance so there are no conflicts or shared state between users.
