How to download a video with Ideosave?
Follow these simple steps and you'll have the file saved in under a minute.
Step 1
Copy the link to the post or video you want to save from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo or Xiaohongshu.
Step 2
Paste the URL into the Ideosave input and click Download. We validate the host, create a one-time job token, and redirect you to the result page.
Step 3
On the result page, pick the format and quality you need, or open the original source URL from the helper links.
Why use Ideosave for this?
A few advantages worth knowing before you paste your first link.
URL validation first
Bad URLs, YouTube links, and private-IP hosts are rejected early with clear messages.
One-time tokens with TTL
Every result page has a 30-minute expiry so share-links don't live forever.
Live metadata pull
Title, thumbnail and description are fetched fresh each time you open the result page.
Clear format list
You see every available quality before you commit to a download.

It is a self-contained token that carries the input URL and timestamp. No database is used — the entire job is encoded inside that string.
The token works for 30 minutes as long as the source URL remains a supported public link. After that it expires intentionally.
