Do you store downloaded files?
The Service is designed to process requests and return outputs. For details about data handling and retention, see our Privacy Policy.
Can I download any video from any site?
No. Availability depends on the source platform, technical constraints, and legal considerations. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to download the content you request.
Why is a certain quality option missing?
