Raheeb
Saving from sites

Download a video from a link on iPhone

Copy the video's link and open Raheeb: a “There's a link in your clipboard” card appears, so tap Save and pick a quality or Audio. It works with links from the most popular social and video sites and with any direct file link such as an MP4, and the file is saved to Photos and My Files.

Steps

  1. 1Copy the linkIn the app or site with the video: Share, then Copy Link, or copy it from the address bar.
  2. 2Open RaheebIn the Search tab the copied-link card appears without pasting. Tap Save, or tap Paste.
  3. 3Pick a qualityThe available qualities show with their sizes, plus an Audio card for the sound only.
  4. 4Follow the progressPercentage, size left and time, with a cancel button. The download continues while you're in another app.
Raheeb Search tab: a pasted video link, a fetching-link card and a clipboard-link card with a Save button
Raheeb quality picker for a video: 4K, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p and 360p with the file size of each
Raheeb download progress card at 59% with remaining size, estimated time and a cancel button
The copied-link card in the Search tab → qualities with sizes → download progress.

Raheeb doesn't read your clipboard on its own: it only knows there's a link there, and reads it only when you tap Save or Paste. That's why the system's “pasted from…” banner doesn't appear every time you open the app.

Which links work?

LinkWhat's saved
A public post or video on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook or PinterestThe video at the quality you pick, or its audio
A post with several photos and videosEvery item at once
A direct file link ending in MP4, MOV or MP3The file as it is
A direct link to a PDF, ZIP or documentSaved to My Files, and a ZIP becomes a folder
A profile, channel or playlist pageRejected; you need a specific video's link
A private account, temporary content or a live stream in progressNot saved

Rejected links are turned down before the download starts, so they don't count toward the daily limit, and neither does anything that failed or that you canceled. Each site has a guide in the Sites section, and direct links are covered on the save from any link page.

Does it save from any site?

No, and any app that promises “any site” without exception is exaggerating. Big sites each serve video differently; Raheeb supports the popular ones in the table, plus any link that points straight to a video file. For a video inside another site's page, try opening the page in Raheeb's browser: if the video is a direct file, you'll get a Save to My Files option. Read download a video from Safari.

Paste your first link now: 3 files a day free, no account.

Link didn't save?

  • Is it the video's own link? Not the home page or the profile link.
  • Is the post public? Anything that needs a sign-in can't be saved.
  • Is the link complete? A link cut off while copying won't work, so copy it again from the Share button.
  • Was the video deleted? If it's gone from the site, there's nothing to save.
