FluxGrab

A free Windows app for saving YouTube videos and Instagram Reels to your computer, up to 4K. Paste a link, pick a quality and download, with no ads and no account.

The FluxGrab YouTube Video Downloader screen with YouTube and Instagram tabs, a format menu, a link field and a Download button.

The challenge

Saving a video usually means an online downloader full of ads and pop-ups, a browser extension, or a command-line tool with options that are hard to remember.

The solution

FluxGrab is one desktop window with a YouTube tab and an Instagram tab. It detects the link, lists the available formats, shows progress and speed while it downloads, and opens the folder when the file is ready. A short guide is built into the app.
