Reliable downloading, without the command line.
XG Downloader is a powerful, feature-rich desktop application for Windows and Linux that makes downloading videos, images, galleries, carousels, and mixed-media content from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, X, Pornhub, and hundreds of other sites fast, reliable, and effortless. Whether you're saving a single video or managing massive batch downloads, XG Downloader gives you complete control with an intuitive interface — no command line required. Built around a robust multi-slot queue system, it handles everything from quality selection and resume support to advanced cookie integration for age-restricted or private content.
Smart queuing — Drag & drop or paste links, pause/resume, reorder, and recover unfinished queues even after restarting the app.
Flexible control — Global quality settings with per-URL overrides, speed limits, existing file handling (skip/rename/overwrite/resume), and projected file size + ETA.
Real-time feedback — Colourful VU-style meters, per-slot speed, and detailed progress tracking.
Powerful under the hood — Leverages yt-dlp for broad site support, FFmpeg/FFprobe for merging and remuxing, plus full browser cookie support.
Built for heavy use — Activity logs, download history with redownload/export, scraper tools, diagnostics, and reliable queue management.
The app supports yt-dlp for general video sites, FFmpeg / FFprobe for video merge and remux workflows, browser cookies for gated content, activity logs, download history, diagnostics and a machine-bound licensing system.
XG Downloader was created as a practical, no-nonsense tool for people who want a clean graphical interface combined with professional-grade download capabilities. The focus is on reliability, thoughtful workflow features (like queue export/import and smart diagnostics), and making powerful tools accessible without complexity. There is a free version for users to use, or you can unlock the unrestricted Pro version with a one-time lifetime license.
