Free social media downloaders
All SaveMingo downloaders
Every downloader SaveMingo offers, grouped by platform. Copy the link of a public post, paste it into the matching page, and save the video, photo, GIF or slideshow it contains. All of them are free and none of them asks you to sign up.
What works today
X and Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky downloads work for public posts. Each platform has a main page that detects the post type for you, and most also have focused pages for videos, photos, GIFs or slideshows that explain exactly which links are accepted and what file you get back. If you are not sure which page to use, paste the link on the homepage: it recognises the platform and sends the link to the right downloader.
TikTok works for public videos, photo posts and slideshows, but what TikTok makes available can change from one request to the next. When TikTok does not return a usable file, SaveMingo tells you so rather than handing you a broken download. On Reddit, the video and its sound are stored separately, so the Reddit pages show whether the saved video track has sound.
Instagram is limiting downloads
Instagram currently refuses many anonymous requests that come from cloud servers, including SaveMingo's. Some public links still work; others fail with a try-again-later message. Other platforms are not affected.
The Instagram pages stay online so that the links which still work can be saved, and the status page lists the current limits for every platform.
Every downloader works with public content only. SaveMingo does not log in to any account for you, cannot open private, followers-only or deleted posts, and does not keep permanent copies of the files you save. It does not invent quality labels either: if a platform offers only one size, you get that size. Whatever you download still belongs to the person who made it, so use it for personal reference or with permission and read the copyright page before you reuse anything.
Looking for something other than a social post? Thumbnail, cover art and image metadata tools are listed on the all free tools page.

How a download works
When you paste a link, SaveMingo looks up the public post, checks that the media is really there and is the type it claims to be, and then offers each file separately. Carousels, galleries and slideshows stay as individual items in their original order. Nothing is installed on your device, and the same pages work on phones, tablets and computers.
