Description

DownloaderTools is a free, browser-based downloader for four social platforms: Kick, Threads, Bluesky and Lemon8.

Paste a link to a public post, clip or video into one input box, pick the file you want, and save it to your device. You get the file the platform serves rather than a re-encoded copy — original quality, no watermark, no account, no app to install.

Kick is the part that needs real work. Its videos are delivered as HLS streams browsers cannot save directly, so the server remuxes the segments into a standard MP4 before handing the file back. Clips come out playable everywhere; for VOD replays you can pick any window from 30 seconds up to 5 minutes. Threads, Bluesky and Lemon8 posts return videos and photos as they are, with multi-image posts listed one by one.

The interface is localized into 27 languages, including right-to-left layouts for Arabic, Persian and Urdu, and the whole flow works in mobile browsers.

Nothing is stored on the server: media streams through to your browser and the downloaded files are not kept. Only aggregate counters (parses succeeded or failed per platform, bytes served) are recorded, with no identifiers attached. Error logs keep the submitted link and failure reason for 7 days so broken parsers can be fixed.

It is free and needs no account. Requests are rate-limited so one client cannot exhaust the server. Known limits: live streams cannot be saved until the stream ends; Kick replays are capped at 5 minutes per file; Kick is capped at 720p because 1080p requires a logged-in session the service deliberately does not use; private, deleted or region-locked posts cannot be parsed.
