iPhone

  1. In the app, tap Share → Copy link.
  2. Open gimmeclip.com in Safari and tap Paste (allow it when iOS asks).
  3. Pick a quality and tap Download.
  4. Tap Share → Save Video to put it in Photos, or Share → WhatsApp to send it. Save puts the file in Files → Downloads instead.

Tip: in Safari, Share → Add to Home Screen gives you a gimmeclip icon next to your apps.

Android

  1. In the app, tap Share → Copy link.
  2. Open gimmeclip.com in Chrome and tap Paste.
  3. Pick a quality and tap Download.
  4. Tap Save (it lands in Downloads and your gallery) or Share → WhatsApp.

Install it and skip the copy-paste (Android)

In Chrome, open the menu (⋮) and tap Add to Home screen → Install. From then on, gimmeclip shows up when you tap Share on a video in YouTube, Instagram, X or TikTok — pick it and the video opens ready to download.

Sending on WhatsApp

  • The video itself (phone): download it, then Share → WhatsApp.
  • A link (phone or computer): Send link on WhatsApp sends a gimmeclip link. The chat shows the video’s title and thumbnail; whoever opens it gets the same download button.

The gimmeclip.com/ prefix

Put gimmeclip.com/ in front of any video link — with or without https:// — and it opens with that video loaded: gimmeclip.com/youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw. It’s also the link to share.

Supported sites

YouTube, Instagram, X / Twitter, TikTok, Bluesky. Posts with several videos (Instagram carousels, X posts) let you pick which one.

Only public videos work. Private accounts, stories that need a login, live streams and paid content don’t.

Limits

  • 40 downloads per person per day.
  • Videos up to 2 hours and 1 GB; quality up to 1080p.
  • MP4 (H.264 + AAC, plays everywhere) or MP3 at 192 kbps.

Privacy

No accounts, no ads, no tracking. A download is prepared on our server and deleted 15 minutes after you last touch it. Video titles and thumbnails are cached for a few hours so repeated links load instantly. Your IP address is used only for the daily limit and expires after two days.

Use it fairly

Download only videos you own or have permission to use, and follow each platform’s terms. gimmeclip is for personal use — keeping your own posts, watching offline, sending a clip to a friend — not for reuploading other people’s work.

Something didn’t work?

  • “Private or needs a login” — the account is private, or the site hides that video from logged-out visitors.
  • “Blocking our server” — the site is rate-limiting us. Wait a few minutes and try again.
  • Paste does nothing — long-press the box and tap Paste, or allow clipboard access when asked.
