How to download a Tumblr video

What you can save from Tumblr

Photos, GIFs and videos from public Tumblr posts.

The Video tab on the Tumblr page of this site saves an MP4 video. No account is needed and nothing is installed.

Step 1: copy the link

Open the post on its own page and copy the address, or tap Share and choose Copy link.

Step 2: paste it

Open the Tumblr Video Downloader page and paste the link into the box. It starts on its own and shows a preview in a few seconds. You can also press the Paste button.

Step 3: save the file

Press the Download button. You get an MP4 video. On iPhone, use Safari, open the Downloads list and choose Share, Save Video. On Android and computers the file goes to your Downloads folder.

About quality

We return the best video file the platform serves. We do not re-encode it, so the quality you save is the quality it holds, commonly 720p or 1080p.

If it does not work

Open the post on its own page first and copy that address. Posts on a blog's main page share one address with many other posts.

Open the link in a private browser window. If it opens without logging in, it is public. Wait a minute and try again, as platforms sometimes limit requests for a short time.
