Open Settings, then Help, then Support the developer, or visit the support section. A star on GitHub or sharing the app with a friend also helps a lot.

GrabClip can use cookies exported from your own browser to reach content that your logged-in account is allowed to see. Access still depends on your permissions and the website's restrictions. Never share your cookies file. How to import cookies.

No. GrabClip does not support DRM-protected videos or torrents.

No. There are no accounts and no tracking inside the app. GrabClip only talks to the websites you download from, and to GitHub when it looks for an update. Read the privacy page.

Settings, history, the saved queue and cookies are stored in %APPDATA%\GrabClip. Downloaded files go to the output folder you choose in Settings.

The current installer is not signed with a paid Windows code-signing certificate, so SmartScreen may show a warning. Download only from the official GitHub release and compare the SHA-256 hash first. Read more.

Some security programs flag installers that bundle tools such as yt-dlp and FFmpeg. Check the SHA-256 hash against the official release, and look into any detection you cannot explain before you run the file.

Open Settings, then Updates, then Update yt-dlp. This fixes many website problems without a new version of GrabClip. If it still fails, report it with the error details, and never attach your cookies file.

Turn on Fast download in the last step of Add download. Speed also depends on your network and on the source website. Check that Study mode and the Night scheduler speed limit are off.

Your PC and phone must be on the same Wi-Fi network. Allow GrabClip in the Windows Firewall prompt if Windows asks, and start sharing again if ten minutes have passed.

Open Windows Settings, then Apps, and uninstall GrabClip. Your downloaded videos are never touched.
