How the online video downloader works

  1. Enter the URL

    Paste the address of the page that plays the video, or a direct link ending in .mp4, .webm or .mov.

  2. We find the file

    PixHold scans the page for video sources and lists every version it finds with format and size.

  3. Download in your browser

    Press Download. The file goes from the source site straight to your downloads folder.

Made for everyday downloads

Any device

Runs in the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, Android, iPhone and iPad.

No re-encoding

You get the original file, so there is no quality loss and no waiting for a conversion queue.

No account

No email, no login, no extension permissions. Open the page, paste, download.

Nothing stored

PixHold never hosts or keeps the video. It only points your browser at the file.

Which pages work best

The downloader works with pages that serve video as an ordinary file: news sites, blogs, documentation, product pages, forums, course pages without DRM and personal sites. If you can right-click a video and see “Save video as” greyed out or missing, there is a good chance PixHold can still find the file behind it.

It does not work with services that split video into encrypted segments (most subscription streaming sites), with live streams, or with anything that requires you to be signed in. For TikTok, use the dedicated TikTok downloader, which also handles photo posts. You can also start from the home page with any link.

Tips for a clean download

  • Use the link to the page of the single video, not a feed, playlist or search result.
  • If several files are listed, the largest one is normally the highest resolution.
  • On iPhone, files are saved to Files → Downloads. Open the file and tap Share → Save Video to add it to Photos.
  • Only download content you own or are allowed to keep. PixHold is for personal use.

Frequently asked questions

What is an online video downloader?

It is a web page that saves a video from another site to your device. You give it the address of the page, it locates the video file and your browser downloads it. No program has to be installed.

Which formats can I download?

PixHold gives you the file exactly as the source site stores it — usually MP4, sometimes WebM or MOV. MP4 with H.264 plays on practically every phone, computer and TV.

Can I choose the quality?

When the source offers more than one version, each one is listed with its resolution and file size so you can pick between the sharpest file and the smallest one.

Why does the video open in a new tab instead of downloading?

Some sites do not allow other pages to fetch their files. In that case PixHold opens the direct file link; right-click the video (or long-press on a phone) and choose Save video as.

Is there a file size or length limit?

No. Because the download runs between your browser and the source site, PixHold does not limit length or size. Very large files simply take longer.

Is it safe?

PixHold has no installers, pop-up downloads or fake buttons. The only file you receive is the video itself, straight from the site that hosts it.
