What you get
MP4 in the quality it was uploaded in.
Works with videos uploaded directly to Tumblr. Videos embedded from YouTube or other sites download best from their original link.
Save it on any device
iPhone and iPad
Open FetchBolt in Safari, paste the Tumblr link and tap Download. The MP4 saves to Files → Downloads; tap it, then Share → Save Video to put it in Photos.
Android
Paste the link in Chrome or any browser and tap Download. The MP4 lands in Downloads and shows up in your gallery automatically.
Windows, Mac and Linux
Copy the link from the address bar or Share button and paste it above. The MP4 saves to your Downloads folder in any browser, with nothing to install.
Troubleshooting and safety
The download doesn’t work. What can I do?
Check that the video plays for everyone: private posts, age-restricted content and anything that needs you to sign in can’t be downloaded, and FetchBolt tells you if a video was removed or is region-locked. Copy the link with the app’s Share button and paste it on its own. If Tumblr is limiting traffic for a moment, wait a minute and try again. Large files take longer to prepare, and the button shows the progress while they do.
Is FetchBolt safe to use?
FetchBolt runs in your browser: no app, no extension and no sign-up, and it never asks for your Tumblr password. Files are prepared on our servers only for as long as it takes to send them to you, then deleted, and we don’t keep a history of your links. The only buttons that download anything are the ones in the FetchBolt card, next to each quality.
