Frequently asked questions
Where does the video go on my iPhone?
Safari saves downloads to the Files app (Downloads folder). Open the video there, tap Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. The steps are the same on iPad with Safari or any other browser.
Is ClipDrift free?
Yes. ClipDrift is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no download limits beyond basic abuse protection.
Can I download from private or protected accounts?
No. ClipDrift can only access posts that are publicly visible. Private, deleted and age-restricted posts can't be downloaded.
Is it legal to download X videos?
Downloading for personal use is generally fine, but reposting someone else's content may infringe their copyright. Only download content you own or have permission to use.
