Kite: Video Downloader

Save it.
Watch it offline.

Video downloader and player. Save clips and MP3s, then watch them offline.

For Android 7.0 and newer. No account, no sign-up, no subscription.

Kite’s home screen: a box for media links, a Download button, and the platforms it recognises.

Everything you need to save something and watch it later

One app for finding media, saving it at the quality you want, and playing it back.

  • Save clips and MP3s

    Paste a link and Kite works out what is on the page.

  • Pick your quality

    Every resolution the source offers, with an estimated size.

  • Downloads keep running

    Live speed and time remaining. Pause or resume whenever.

  • Find media as you browse

    The built-in browser spots playable media and offers to save it.

  • Your library, on your device

    Everything you save, grouped by folder and searchable.

  • A player built for watching

    Swipe to seek, hold for double speed, pop out into picture-in-picture.

  • Listen with the screen off

    Pull the audio out as an MP3 and keep it playing in the background.

  • No account, no sign-up

    Your downloads, history and settings stay on your device.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste a link, or browse

    Drop in an address from anywhere and Kite works out what is on the page. Or open the page in Kite’s own browser and let it find the media for you.

  2. 2

    Pick your quality

    Every resolution the source offers is listed, from SD up to 4K, each with its container, codec and an estimated size. Or pull the audio out as an MP3.

  3. 3

    Watch it offline

    Downloads keep running in the background and survive closing the app. Finished files land in a Kite folder your gallery and file apps can see.

A look around

Formats, downloads, the browser, your library, audio, the private vault and settings.

A player that gets out of the way

Swipe for brightness, volume and seeking. Press and hold to watch at double speed. Skip ten seconds either way. Pop a video out into picture-in-picture and keep watching while you get on with something else.

The videos saved alongside it line up in a queue, so one plays into the next, and the whole list is one tap away.

Saved MP3s carry on playing with the screen off, with controls on your lock screen, in your notification shade and on Bluetooth devices.

The video player with its queue open, listing the saved videos it can move between.

Works with

Kite handles media pages from TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, Facebook, Vimeo, Twitch and Pinterest, along with a thousand or so other sites its extraction engine recognises. Paste a link, or open the page in Kite’s browser, and it will tell you what it can save.

What stays on your device

Kite has no accounts and no servers of ours. Your downloads, your browsing history and your settings stay on your device, and are excluded from cloud backup and device transfer. The extraction engine runs entirely on your phone. The app is supported by ads supplied by third-party partners — the privacy policy sets out exactly what they receive and how to limit it.

Questions

What is Kite: Video Downloader?

Kite saves video and audio from web pages onto your Android phone and plays them back. Paste a link, or find media with the built-in browser, then pick a resolution or save the audio as an MP3. There is no account to make, and we do not run a server for your downloads or history to be sent to. The app is supported by ads; the privacy policy lists what our advertising partners receive.

Which sites does it work with?

Kite handles media pages from TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, Facebook, Vimeo, Twitch and Pinterest, along with a thousand or so other sites its extraction engine recognises. Paste a link, or open the page in Kite’s browser, and it will tell you what it can save.

Can I save just the audio?

Yes. Pull the audio out as a high-quality MP3 with title and artist metadata already embedded. You can also convert a video you have already saved without leaving the app.

Where do my downloads go?

Finished files land in a Kite folder on your device, where your gallery and file apps can see them. The Videos tab lists everything you have saved along with the video and music already on your phone, grouped by folder and searchable.

Do downloads keep going if I leave the app?

Yes — up to three at a time, and they survive closing the app. Live progress, speed and time remaining appear in your notification shade, where you can pause, resume or cancel without reopening Kite. An interrupted download picks up where it left off instead of starting over.

Is there a subscription or an account?

No. Kite has no accounts and no sign-up. The app is supported by advertising, and there is one version of it, which does everything described on this page.

Does Kite show ads?

Yes. Advertising is what keeps the app available without a subscription and without an account. Ads come from third-party partners, and the privacy policy sets out what they receive and how to limit ad personalisation from your Android settings.

What data does Kite collect?

We collect nothing ourselves — there is no account, no analytics of ours, and no server of ours for your information to be sent to. Your downloads, your browsing history and your settings stay on your device and are excluded from cloud backup and device transfer. The ads in the app come from third-party advertising partners, which receive your device advertising ID, IP address and basic device details in order to show and measure them. The privacy policy names those partners and explains how to limit this.

Does Kite work with DRM-protected content?

No. Kite does not bypass copy protection of any kind: material protected by DRM is declined rather than downloaded.

Which Android versions are supported?

Android 7.0 and newer.

Please save responsibly

Kite is a tool for personal use. Save only content you own or have permission to save, respect the terms of the sites you visit, and respect the rights of the people who made what you are watching. Material protected by DRM is declined rather than downloaded.
