File Downloader
Paste a direct file link and save it — works when the browser opens the file inline instead of downloading, or when CORS blocks the fetch.
⚠️ Only paste links you trust. This fetches whatever is at the address you give it, and a link can point somewhere other than its text suggests — check the domain before you download, and never open a file from a source you do not recognise.
How to use
Paste a direct link to a file — one that ends in the file itself, like .pdf, .zip, .mp3, .csv or an image — and press Download. The file is fetched and handed to you as a normal save, with a progress bar while it transfers.
It solves two everyday annoyances. Some servers send files in a way that makes the browser open them in a tab instead of saving them, so you end up hunting for a "save as" that is not there. Others set headers that stop a page from fetching them at all. Routing the request through this tool sidesteps both.
What it will not do
This is a direct-file fetcher, not a media ripper. Pasting the address of a video or streaming page gets you the page, not the video — sites like that deliver media in encrypted segments behind tokens that expire, and no simple downloader can reassemble them. Links needing a login, a paywall, or a captcha will not work either, because the request is made from our server and carries none of your cookies or credentials.
Requests are limited to 200 MB, to ordinary web ports, and to public addresses. Redirects are followed at most three times and re-checked at each hop. Nothing you download is stored or logged by us — the file streams through and is gone.
Be careful what you paste
The tool has no idea whether a link is safe; it fetches what you point it at. Read the domain before you trust it, be wary of shortened links that hide their destination, and scan anything executable before you open it. If you did not go looking for the file yourself, that is a good reason not to download it.
