  • <blog>.tumblr.com/post/…
  • tumblr.com/<blog>/…

Tips

  • Only videos uploaded to Tumblr work. Embedded videos from other sites must be downloaded from their own site.
  • Blogs that need a login to view can't be saved.

If your Tumblr link doesn't work

  • Video from YouTube or Vimeo embedded in a post. Tumblr only embeds those. Download Vimeo videos from our Vimeo page; YouTube isn't supported.
  • Blog requires login. Some blogs are hidden from logged-out visitors or marked mature. Those posts can't be downloaded.
  • Dashboard link. Links copied from your dashboard sometimes point to the dashboard itself. Open the post on its own page and copy that link.

Saving on iPhone, Android or a computer

  • iPhone and iPad. In the Tumblr app, tap Share and Copy link, then paste it here in Safari. After tapping MP4, Safari keeps the file in Files, in the Downloads folder. Open it and use Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos.
  • Android. Copy the link in the Tumblr app, paste it here in Chrome and tap MP4. The file goes to the Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery or Files app.
  • Windows, Mac and Linux. Copy the address from the browser bar or the post's share menu, paste it here and save the file. It lands in your usual Downloads folder.

MP4 or MP3: which to pick

Choose MP4 to keep the picture and sound. Higher resolutions look sharper but make bigger files; 720p is plenty for phones and chat apps. Choose MP3 when you only need the audio, such as a talk, a song or a podcast clip. MP3 files are much smaller and play on almost any device.

After you download

These tools run in your browser, so the video doesn't need to be uploaded again.

About Tumblr downloads

Tumblr videos are easy to reblog but hard to keep. Paste a post link here to save the video as MP4, or grab the audio as MP3.

Tumblr stores uploaded videos at up to 720p or 1080p. The tool picks up the file Tumblr hosts, not a lower-quality preview.

How it works

  1. Copy the link

    Open the post on Tumblr and use Share, then Copy link.

  2. Paste it here

    Press "Get video" to see the title and the formats you can save.

  3. Save the file

    Pick MP4 or MP3. The file is ready in a few seconds.
