What is Getchify?

Getchify is a browser-based set of tools for saving available media from eligible public Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok URLs. Choose the matching platform, paste a supported link, and save the resolved file through a temporary download link. The service does not bypass private accounts, login requirements, deleted content, or other access restrictions.

Three steps

How to download a video from a public post

Start with the individual public post or video—not a profile, feed, or search page.

  1. 01

    Choose the matching platform

    Open the Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok tool according to the source of your URL.

  2. 02

    Copy the public link

    Open an eligible individual post or video, select Share or the platform’s link-copy option, and copy the complete URL.

  3. 03

    Paste, resolve, and save

    Paste the URL into the selected tool, select Download, and use the generated temporary link while it is active.

Clear capabilities

Supported platforms and content types

Social platforms publish links and media differently. The dedicated tools state their supported inputs, outputs, and limits before you submit a URL.

Supported public links, output, and boundaries for each Getchify tool
Tool Eligible public links Available output Not supported
Instagram Posts, Reels, and carousels Video files, image files, or multiple carousel items Profiles, Stories, private, deleted, or login-restricted media
Facebook Video posts, Reels, and Watch links An available direct combined video source Private, friends-only, hidden-group, removed, or login-restricted content
TikTok Video pages and supported vm, vt, or /t share links An available compatible video file Photo posts, profiles, feeds, hashtags, sounds, LIVE streams, private, or deleted videos

What happens when you submit a link

01

Public URL validation

The selected tool checks that the URL belongs to its supported platform and points to an eligible public content type.

02

Compatible source resolution

Getchify requests an available direct media source. If the platform does not expose a compatible file, the tool cannot create one.

03

Temporary download links

When a file is available, Getchify provides a temporary download link that expires after 10 minutes. Submit the source URL again after it expires.

04

No conversion or access bypass

Getchify does not transcode, artificially upscale, remove source watermarks, or bypass private-account, login, or permission controls.

Browser-based

Use Getchify on a phone, tablet, or computer

Open the appropriate tool in a current browser. No mobile app, desktop program, or browser extension is required. Your browser and device settings determine where the finished file is saved.

iPhone and iPad

  1. Open the matching tool in Safari.
  2. Paste the eligible public link and resolve it.
  3. Check Safari Downloads or the Files app for the saved file.

Android devices

  1. Open the matching tool in a current browser.
  2. Paste the complete public URL and select Download.
  3. Check your browser downloads, notifications, or Files app.

Windows and macOS

  1. Choose the tool for the source platform.
  2. Paste the public link and use the generated file link.
  3. Check your browser’s usual Downloads location.
Source-dependent output

File format, quality, audio, and watermarks

The result depends on the compatible source made available for the public URL. Audio is present only when included in the selected video source. Getchify does not transcode, increase resolution, add a watermark, or remove an existing watermark.

Facebook output

The Facebook tool returns an available direct combined video file when a compatible source is exposed.

Instagram output

The Instagram tool can return available video files, image files, or separate items from a supported carousel.

TikTok output

The TikTok tool returns an available compatible video file from an eligible public video link.

Public links only

Access boundaries, privacy, and permission

Direct answer

Can Getchify save a private video? No. The tools process eligible public URLs only and do not bypass private-account settings, login requirements, group permissions, deleted posts, or other access controls.

No social account credentials

Getchify does not request an Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok username, password, cookie, or access token.

No stored media copies

Getchify resolves and streams available source media without saving a copy of the media file on the application server. Temporary source grants are held in memory only until they expire.

Ownership still applies

Public availability does not grant ownership or reuse rights. Download only content you own or have permission to save, and respect applicable law, creator rights, and each platform’s terms.

If a link does not resolve

Check the URL, access, and content type

A public URL can still fail when it is incomplete, points to an unsupported page, has been removed, requires permission, or does not currently expose a compatible direct source.

1. Choose the correct platform

Submit Instagram URLs to the Instagram tool, Facebook URLs to the Facebook tool, and TikTok URLs to the TikTok tool.

2. Copy the complete individual link

Use the Share menu or full browser URL for one supported post or video. Do not submit a profile, feed, search, or collection page.

3. Confirm that the content is public

Open the URL in a private or logged-out browser window. If the platform requires a login or permission, Getchify cannot process it.

4. Create a new temporary link

Generated download links expire after 10 minutes. Submit the original public URL again when a link has expired.
