Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built VidPickr because every "online video downloader" I tried either uploaded my file to their servers, slapped a watermark on it, or pushed me through three pop-up walls before letting me click download. The premise is simple: the bytes should go directly between you and the platform's CDN. There's no reason for our backend to ever touch the actual file. So that's what VidPickr does. Our API resolves the format list and hands your browser a short-lived signed URL. Your browser then fetches the video, muxes it locally, and saves it to disk. Subtitles, MP3 conversion, AI transcription (Whisper), all client-side. We never log, store, or proxy what you download. It works on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter (X), Vimeo, Reddit, Dailymotion, Twitch, and Bilibili. Up to 8K video, real 320 kbps MP3, SRT/VTT/TXT subtitles, single videos or full playlist and channel batches. 26 dedicated tools (thumbnail downloader, embed code generator, category and tag checker, timestamp link generator, and more). The free tier is full quality with ads and a short wait gate between downloads. Plus is $1/month: removes the ads, adds AI Transcribe (Whisper runs in your browser, your audio never leaves your machine), 30-second clip extraction with frame-accurate start and end, automatic silence removal, and vertical/square reframe for Shorts and Reels. A few things I'd love feedback on: - Platforms you wish we supported next. - Does the $1/month tier feel right for what's inside it? - Any tool you'd add to the /tools index. Solo founder, shipping fast. Happy to answer anything in the thread.
