Riplox downloads video and audio from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit and around a thousand other sites. Paste a link, choose 4K, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p or MP3, and the file is yours.
There are no download caps, no daily quota and no paid tier, and the installer carries the app and nothing else - no bundled software and no ads. Files come out as MP4, in H.264 wherever a site offers that resolution in H.264, so they play in Windows Media Player, WhatsApp and on phones without extra codecs - and where the highest resolution exists only in a newer codec, Riplox takes the resolution rather than handing back a smaller file.
Whole playlists and channel sections download in one click, several at a time, and the queue survives a restart. Riplox uses yt-dlp and FFmpeg, and can update that download engine from inside the app when a site changes how it serves video, without waiting for a new release.
