Show HN: Paste2Download – No Login, No Ads, Download Videos Watermark Free

Hi Hacker News,

I'm excited to share Paste2Download, a web app that lets you download videos from various platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, and even 9Gag, all without watermarks.

What it does: Paste2Download simplifies the process of downloading videos by allowing you to paste a video URL from multiple platforms and download the video directly to your device. It removes watermarks and supports a wide range of video sources.

Why I built it: There are plenty of sites that can help with downloading videos from TikTok, but many of these websites are cluttered with banners and ads, making them slow and cumbersome to use. I wanted to create a tool that offers a seamless, ad-free experience. Paste2Download is designed to be super clean and fast, providing a hassle-free way to download videos.

Feedback: I’d love to get your feedback! Let me know what you think, any suggestions, or if you encounter any issues.

Very nice, I was looking for something like this.

The only feedback I have is that on the frontpage it says "Download any tiktok video" but you support more websites than just tiktok. So maybe add that piece of information :)

With enough users, aren’t you going to be quickly throttled, unless you use one of those shady residential IP pools? (Disclaimer: on mobile now so haven’t inspected anything, but I assume the metadata fetching has to go through your server due to SOP/CORS.)

Nice work, but like others, I have a "too good to last long" feeling.

What is the legal situation for such services? Is the provider liable in any way for how users use the service?

To be honest I build this for my own usage but after this post the traffic sky rocket. At the moment my server still can handle it. Maybe its a good experience for me to handle high volume traffic in the future.
