Is MyVideoCity just a video downloader, or is there more to it?

It started as a downloader but it's grown into a full media toolkit. On the download side, you can save public videos from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Vimeo. On the editing side, there's a Video Compressor, a Video Format Converter, a GIF Maker, an MP3 Extractor, an Audio Format Converter, and an Audio Compressor. All of it is free, runs in your browser, and requires no account.

How do I compress a video to send on WhatsApp or by email?

Use the Video Compressor. Upload your MP4, MOV, or AVI file, pick how small you need it, and download the compressed version. WhatsApp has a 100MB limit and email attachments are usually capped at 25MB. The compressor is built to hit those targets without making the video look terrible in the process.

Can I convert MKV to MP4 or change any video format for free?

Yes, that's exactly what the Video Format Converter is for. It handles MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, WebM, and a few other common containers. MKV is the most common request because it's a great format that a lot of phones and TVs still refuse to play. Upload the file, pick your output format, and download the converted version. No watermark, no size limit tricks.

How does the GIF Maker work?

Upload any video file, set the start and end time for the clip you want, and export it as an animated GIF. The output is optimized so it doesn't balloon to an unreasonable file size. It's useful for reaction clips, product demos, tutorial snippets, or any short looping moment you want to share somewhere that doesn't support video embedding.

What audio tools does MyVideoCity offer?

Three of them. The MP3 Extractor pulls the audio track out of any video you upload and saves it as an MP3 — useful when you only want the sound and have no use for the video. The Audio Format Converter lets you switch between formats like WAV, FLAC, OGG, and AAC. The Audio Compressor reduces the file size of large audio files, like uncompressed WAV recordings, without making them sound noticeably worse.

Are my uploaded files safe? What happens after processing?

Files are deleted from our servers automatically within 5 minutes of being processed. We don't store your uploads, we don't log which files you convert, and we don't sell data. Once the 5-minute window closes, the file is gone from our end permanently. If you haven't downloaded it by then, you'll need to upload again.

Is everything actually free? No subscriptions or hidden fees?

Yes, completely free. No subscriptions, no credit cards, no trial periods that flip to paid. The site runs on advertising, which is what keeps all the tools free for everyone. You use the tool, you get your file. That's the whole transaction.

Is there a daily download limit?

No hard limit. No account is required. Very high-frequency use from a single IP may be rate-limited to protect the service. Normal personal use is completely unlimited.

Does MyVideoCity support 4K downloads?

Yes, where the source video was uploaded in 4K. The format picker shows every quality option after analysis — select 4K (2160p) or the highest listed. This is most common on Vimeo uploads.

Why is my download not working?

Most common reasons: the video is private or deleted, the link is broken, or the platform changed its API. Try copying the link again from the app. Visit the dedicated page: TikTok , Instagram , or Facebook downloader.

Terms of Service - MyVideoCity | Acceptable Use Policy

The short version: MyVideoCity is a free tool for personal use. Only download content you actually have permission to save. Don't use it to pirate or redistribute content commercially. You're responsible for what you do with your downloads.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using MyVideoCity (referred to as "the Service", "we", "us", or "our"), you're agreeing to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the Service. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and MyVideoCity.

2. What the Service Does

MyVideoCity is a web-based tool that helps users retrieve publicly accessible video links from supported platforms - including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), Reddit, and Vimeo. We work as a technical go-between: we don't host, store, or distribute any of the actual video content ourselves. The videos live on those platforms - we just help you get a direct link to what's already publicly available.

3. Who Can Use It

You need to be at least 13 years old to use MyVideoCity. If your country requires a higher minimum age for online services, please follow your local law. By using the Service, you're confirming you meet the age requirement.

4. What You Can Use It For

MyVideoCity is built for personal, non-commercial use. Specifically, that means:

Downloading your own videos for personal backup.
Saving content that's published under Creative Commons or other licences that explicitly allow downloading.
Downloading content where you have clear permission from the rights-holder.

5. What You Cannot Use It For

Please don't use MyVideoCity to:

Download content that you don't have permission to save, especially copyrighted material.
Redistribute, resell, broadcast, or publish downloaded videos in any commercial context.
Violate the Terms of Service of the platform the video is hosted on.
Circumvent any digital rights management (DRM) protection.
Run automated scripts, bots, or scrapers against our service.
Do anything that breaks applicable local, national, or international law.
Download or share content that involves illegal material of any kind, including child exploitation material.

6. Copyright & Ownership

MyVideoCity doesn't own any of the videos retrieved through the Service - they belong to their original creators and rights-holders. Our own code, design, and branding are ours and are protected under applicable intellectual property law.

If you download someone else's video, it's on you to make sure you're legally entitled to do so and that your use complies with both the originating platform's rules and copyright law.

7. No Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" - we make no guarantees that it'll be error-free, always available, or that every video format will work for every link. Social platforms change their APIs regularly, which can temporarily break certain features.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, MyVideoCity and its operators aren't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability in any situation is capped at USD $10.

9. Indemnification

If your use of MyVideoCity causes legal trouble - whether from violating these Terms, infringing someone's copyright, or anything else - you agree to cover any costs, claims, or legal fees that result from your actions. We built this tool in good faith; please use it that way.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll update the date at the top of this page when we do. Continuing to use the Service after changes means you've accepted the updated Terms.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate anyone's access to the Service at any time, for any reason - especially for abuse or violations of these Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law. Any disputes should first be attempted to be resolved amicably. If that fails, disputes will be handled in the appropriate courts or through binding arbitration.
