Tumblr Video Downloader

Save Tumblr Videos Before They're Reblogged Into Oblivion

Tumblr has been hosting videos since 2011 — a rich archive of creative content, fandom clips, short films, and visual art that exists nowhere else. The platform doesn't have a native video download option. This Tumblr video downloader saves any public Tumblr video post as an MP4 file. Paste the post URL and download.

What You'll Need

• A Tumblr post URL — the direct link to the video post.
• A browser — desktop or mobile.

Works for publicly accessible Tumblr blogs. Posts from password-protected blogs or adult content with age-gating that requires login aren't accessible.

How to Download Tumblr Videos: Step-by-Step

Step 1 — Find the Tumblr Post

Navigate to the Tumblr post on tumblr.com or in the app. Open the post on its own page (not in the dashboard scroll). Tumblr post URLs follow the format username.tumblr.com/post/POST_ID/ or tumblr.com/username/POST_ID/.

Step 2 — Copy the Post URL

Copy from the address bar, or use the Share button on the post and choose Copy Link. Both the legacy subdomain format (username.tumblr.com) and the newer consolidated format work.

Step 3 — Paste and Download

Paste the URL into the input box above and click Download. The tool fetches the video from Tumblr's CDN and delivers the MP4.

Step 4 — Save the File

Click the download link and save. Tumblr video quality varies significantly — original content uploaded by creators is often 720p or 1080p, while reblogged content may be lower quality depending on the source.

Final Thoughts

Tumblr is a genuine archive of internet culture that predates many of the platforms it influenced. If you find video content there worth preserving — creative work, rare clips, fan-made content — download it now. Paste the post URL and save the file.
