Frequently asked questions

Does it work on iPad?

Yes, just like on iPhone: in Safari on iPadOS the file is saved to Files → Downloads.

Which iOS version do I need?

iOS 13 or later — Safari can download files starting from that version.

Why won’t a 4K video open in Photos?

YouTube serves 1440p and 4K videos in the VP9 codec, which the built-in iPhone player may not play. On iPhone, choose 1080p or lower.

Free, without sign-up: files up to 1 GB, up to 60 files per hour from one address. More in the Telegram bot @MeridianDownBot; no limits and no ads with Meridian VIP.
