How To Download
Media With Pullify
To download with Pullify: copy a public link from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, paste it into the search bar, and click Fetch Media. Pullify reads the formats the source exposes for that link, you choose a resolution or audio-only option, and the file downloads through your browser once it's ready.
The Pullify workflow, step by step
Every supported platform uses the same four-step workflow: copy a public link, paste it into Pullify, review the formats it finds, and choose one to download. What differs between platforms is what's actually available in that format list, which is why each platform has its own guide covering source-specific quirks.
Video, audio, and thumbnail are the three kinds of files you can end up with. A video format saves the clip itself; an audio-only format saves just the sound, useful for music, lectures, or podcasts; a thumbnail saves the preview image tied to the link, where the source provides one.
Pullify runs entirely in a standard web browser on desktop or mobile — there's no app to install. Downloads are handled by your browser's normal download mechanism, and Pullify keeps a local history of your recent downloads in that browser so you don't have to re-paste a link you already used.

General tips
- Copy links from each platform's own share button rather than a browser address bar — it's the most reliable way to get a link Pullify can resolve.
- Check the format list before downloading rather than assuming a specific resolution will be there; availability always depends on the source, not on Pullify.
- If you use Pullify often, the download queue widget keeps a running history in your browser so you don't have to re-fetch a link you've already used.
Video, audio, or thumbnail?
Video
Pick this when you want the clip itself, at whatever resolution the source exposes — resolution and file size are both shown before you download.
Audio only
Pick this for music, interviews, lectures, or any case where you don't need the picture; it's smaller and faster than the equivalent video.
Thumbnail
Pick this for a quick preview image, cover art, or reference frame, where the source exposes one — see the Download Thumbnail guide.
Common issues
Nothing loads after pasting a link: confirm it's a direct link to a public post or video, not a profile or search page.
Download stuck at 0%: the backend is still preparing the file — wait briefly before retrying.
Fewer formats than expected: this reflects what the source platform published, not a Pullify limitation.
File won't open after downloading: confirm your device supports the format's codec — most modern players handle MP4/MP3 without issue, but older software sometimes doesn't.
Platform-specific guides
FAQs
Do I need to install an app to use Pullify?
No. Pullify runs entirely in your browser on desktop or mobile — there's nothing to install, and downloaded files save through your browser's normal download behavior.
Which browsers does Pullify work in?
Any modern browser that supports standard downloads (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on desktop or mobile. If a download doesn't start, check that your browser isn't blocking pop-ups or automatic downloads for the site.
What's the difference between the platform pages and this guide?
The platform pages (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) cover source-specific quirks — what's public, what formats to expect. This page covers the workflow itself, which is identical across every supported platform.
My download shows 0% and doesn't move — what's wrong?
This usually means the job is still being prepared on the backend. Give it a few seconds; if it stays at 0% for longer than a minute or moves to a failed state, use the retry button in the download queue widget.
Can I download more than one file at a time?
Yes. Each download you start is added to the queue widget and processed with its own progress tracking, so you can queue several links without waiting for each one to finish first.
Legal & safe use
Only download media you own or have permission to use — whether that's allowed depends on your jurisdiction and the rights holder's terms, not on Pullify. Read our Responsible Use Policy and Copyright & DMCA Policy before downloading content you don't own.
