One downloader for the sites you use

Most downloaders do one site well. PurffleGrab handles all of these with the same paste-and-click flow, the same presets and the same Library:

  • YouTube
  • Spotify
  • SoundCloud
  • TikTok
  • Instagram
  • X / Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Vimeo
  • Reddit
  • Twitch
  • Bandcamp
  • Dailymotion
  • Bilibili
  • Mixcloud
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

…and around a thousand more, thanks to the open-source yt-dlp engine that updates itself.

See it in two minutes

PurffleGrab video tour: any link to MP3 or 8K

Paste a link or type a song name, save a whole playlist, follow a channel, and fix a broken download in one click. Watch on YouTube (2:19).

Why a desktop app beats a website

  • No ads, pop-ups or redirects.
  • Full quality. 1080p on Free and up to 8K on Pro, not a re-encoded 720p copy.
  • Batches. Playlists, profiles and many links at once, with pause and resume.
  • It keeps working. When a site changes, the engine updates; Fix downloads does it on demand.

Questions

Which sites does it support?

PurffleGrab uses yt-dlp, which reads over a thousand sites. The popular ones (YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Vimeo, Reddit, Twitch, Bandcamp and more) are recognised by name; anything else shows as its domain and usually works too.

Can it download private or paid videos?

No. It saves what the site makes publicly available to you. DRM-protected streams, such as paid films and Spotify's own audio, can't be downloaded.

Does Instagram or TikTok need a login?

Public posts usually don't. If a site asks you to sign in, PurffleGrab can use your browser's cookies, which you choose in Settings.
