Hey Product Hunt!
I built URL2Vid because every "free video converter" site out there buries you in ads and fake download buttons just to save one file. I wanted something dead simple: paste a URL, get a clean MP4 or MP3.
Originally I was only focused on video, but realized a lot of people just want the audio (podcasts, lectures, music), so MP3 became a core feature, not an afterthought. From there it was mostly about stripping away anything that wasn't essential.
