Fastest Method (Quick Guide)

Check for 'extra' text in your paste

Ensure the link starts with 'https://'

Copy from the address bar, not a search result

Verify the video is PUBLIC and available

Understanding URL Structures

Every platform has a unique 'Signature' for their links. If you accidentally copy text *around* the link (like 'Check out this video! https://...'), our system might get confused. Ensure ONLY the URL is in the input box.

The 'Private Content' Barrier

An 'Invalid' error can also be a generic response for 'Content Not Found'. If a user has deleted their video or set it to private in the seconds after you copied the link, the source URL becomes invalid to the public web.

Conclusion: Paste with Precision

Correct link formatting is the key to 100% download success. double-check your source, clear the input box, and try again on SaveMedia.
