Open a source-authorized download
Use ALBA's account-isolated browser with a source that explicitly permits downloading, or paste a compatible direct media URL that the source provides for saving.
A private video downloader for compatible web media.
ALBA is built for the moment when a page contains a video you are allowed to keep but iPhone gives you no clear save flow. Detect it, choose an available quality, manage the download, and keep the result private.
Some vault-account, search, and bulk features require Pro. Current limits and pricing are shown inside the app.
Only save media you own or that the source explicitly authorizes you to download and keep. Availability depends on the page, format, and source rules. ALBA is not designed to bypass access controls or digital rights protections.
PAGEOpen a compatible page or paste a supported direct link.
MEDIADetect the video resource made available by the source.
QUALITYChoose an exposed version when several are available.
VAULTKeep the completed file private and ready offline.
How ALBA downloads compatible video on iPhone.
The source still determines whether a usable resource exists. ALBA makes a compatible resource easier to find, save, and keep useful.
Review the detected media
When ALBA receives a supported video resource, compare the available options and choose a quality if the source exposes more than one.
Download into your vault
Choose a folder, track the transfer, pause or resume when supported, and open the completed item for offline playback.
Why use a downloader connected to a private vault?
Saving a file is useful once. Keeping it organized and private makes the app useful after the download.
No technical URL hunting
ALBA looks for compatible media resources while the page loads so you do not need to inspect playlist or segment requests manually.
See what the source actually offers
When distinct compatible versions are available, choose the quality that matches storage, time, and viewing needs.
The file has somewhere private to go
Completed downloads join a protected, searchable space instead of becoming another loose item in the camera roll or Files app.
Compatibility matters more than promises.
A web page can deliver video as a direct file, an HLS playlist, a temporary media resource, or a protected stream. ALBA supports compatible direct files and supported HLS/M3U8 media when the source explicitly permits saving and delivers the resource to your device.
ALBA does not promise a download from every site. Media may be unavailable because of source terms, authorization, expired links, unsupported formats, device codecs, or digital rights protection. A video downloader should make a legitimate save flow clear, not pretend those boundaries do not exist.
- Direct video and audio links in supported formats
- Supported HLS/M3U8 streams
- Quality selection when variants are exposed
- Destination folders and download records
- Offline playback for supported completed media
Video downloader FAQ
What to expect before you rely on a particular page or format.
Can ALBA download video from any website?
No. It supports compatible direct media and supported resources made available by the source. Permission, format, access rules, and technical protection all matter.
Does ALBA support HLS and M3U8?
ALBA supports compatible HLS/M3U8 media and can show available variants when a supported master playlist exposes them. Protected or unsupported streams may not work.
Can I pause and resume a video download?
Supported downloads can be paused, resumed, retried, and recovered after relaunch. Some sources reject range requests or expire authorization, which may require a fresh request.
Where does the completed video go?
You select a destination in your ALBA vault. The completed file can then be organized and opened for offline playback when its format is supported.
Download, organize, and watch in one private space.
Use ALBA with a compatible video you own or that the source explicitly permits you to download and keep.
