About this extension
tapeshelf Video Downloader finds the video on the page you are on and saves it to your computer as one file that plays — in the quality you pick, free, with no account and no ads. Or it sends the video straight to your private shelf on tapeshelf.

WHAT IT DOES
• Finds the video on almost any page: plain files and HLS or DASH streams. The likeliest one comes first; the page's other videos wait under "More on this page".
• Shows every quality with its size. Set your preferred quality once in the settings.
• Joins picture and sound into one MP4 right in your browser: no converter site, no extra program.
• Saves files of any size straight into your Downloads folder, and carries on where it stopped after the browser is closed or crashes.
• Sound only (M4A or Opus, as it is) or MP3. Subtitles as an .srt file next to the video.
• Records live streams from the start of what the stream keeps, or from now, until you press Stop. Ad breaks marked in the stream are left out.
• "Record what plays": for players that build their video themselves, it records what the player plays and saves an MP4.
• A Download button right on the pages of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit, VK, Twitch, Kick, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Rutube, Bilibili, Douyin, RedNote and Telegram Web — with the site's own title and every quality. It can be turned off.
• "Save to My shelf": the video goes from the page straight to your private tapeshelf shelf, without passing through your disk — from the popup, the right-click menu or the Download button on the site.
• A side panel that stays open while you scroll a feed.
• File names from a template ({title}, {site}, {quality}, {date}, {author}), names of a site's own, a history of downloads kept only in your browser, sites where the extension stays off.
• In 20 languages.

FREE AND PRIVATE
No ads, no tracking, no limits. Downloading needs no account, and nothing you download goes through our servers. The code is open (AGPL-3.0).

YOUR SHELF, IF YOU WANT ONE
"Save to My shelf" puts a video on your private tapeshelf shelf instead of your disk: watch it on your phone, or share it by a link that runs out when you say. Saving to the shelf needs a free tapeshelf account.

Please download only videos you have the right to keep. Protected (DRM) video is not saved.
