Scroll through everything it does
02
Any format, without a second app
MP4, MKV, WebM, MOV, AVI or GIF. MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A and more. 4K downloads are converted so they open in QuickTime and in your editor.
03

Save them as a separate file, embed them as a selectable track, or burn them into the picture. Original, auto-generated and translated languages.
04
Take only the part you need
Watch the video inside Nivo, drag a start and an end, and download just that clip. Or split a long video into one file per chapter.
Try it: drag the handles.

05
Whole playlists and channels
Paste a playlist or channel link, choose what you want, and let it run. Paste a stack of links at once and they queue as a batch.

Questions
Good to know
Is Nivo Downloader free?
It is free to try for 7 days with every feature unlocked and no account or card. After that, a one-time license from $10 keeps it working. There is no subscription.
Which sites can it download from?
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Twitch, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Reddit, Bilibili and more than a thousand others. If a site plays video in your browser, there is a good chance Nivo can save it.
Can it download 4K and 8K video?
Yes. Nivo lists every quality the site offers, up to 8K, including 60 fps and HDR. For MP4, anything above 1080p is converted to a format that opens in QuickTime, Windows and video editors.
Can I save just the audio as MP3?
Yes. Choose Audio and pick MP3 (up to 320 kbps), M4A, WAV, FLAC, AAC, ALAC, OGG or Opus. Cover art and titles are added for you.
Does it handle playlists and channels?
Yes. Paste a playlist or channel link, select the videos you want, and they download as a batch into their own folder. You can also track a channel so new uploads are saved automatically.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. There are builds for Apple Silicon Macs, Intel Macs and Windows 10 or 11. One license key works on both systems.
How many computers can I use it on?
One, two or three, depending on the license you buy. You can move a license to a new computer yourself from Settings, without contacting anyone.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and the app is yours. Updates are included.
Can it download private or members-only videos?
It can save videos your own account is already allowed to watch. Sign in inside Nivo, or let it use your browser session. Your sign-in stays on your computer.
Is Nivo Downloader safe?
Yes. There are no ads, no bundled software and no browser add-ons. The downloading itself is done by yt-dlp and FFmpeg, two open-source projects that anyone can inspect. Download Nivo only from this site.
What if a download fails?
Sites change how they deliver video, and that is the usual cause. Nivo keeps its download engine up to date automatically, and you can update it by hand in Settings. Each failed item also says what went wrong in plain words, with a Retry button.
I lost my license key. How do I get it back?
Your key is in the receipt email from Lemon Squeezy, our payment partner. You can also find it under My Orders using the email address you paid with.
Is there a version for iPhone or Android?
No. Nivo is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. Files you download are ordinary MP4 and MP3 files, so you can copy them to any phone or tablet.
Does Nivo collect my data?
No account is needed and the app has no analytics. It contacts the sites you download from, the license server to check your key, and the download engine update server. Nothing about what you download is sent to us.
Is downloading videos legal?
That depends on the video and where you live. Download only content you own, content that is free to download, or content you have permission to save, and respect each site's terms.
What if I need a refund?
See the refund policy. The 7-day trial is there so you can be sure before you pay.
Your first download is one paste away.
Free for 7 days on Mac and Windows.
macOS 12 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel · Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
