Pull anything from the web. Keep it, your way.
Arclio is a desktop app for downloading video, audio, and subtitles from YouTube and 2,000+ other sites — then organizing, converting, and viewing everything in one local library. No ads, no account, no upsells.
Four steps. No terminal.
Paste a link
One video, a whole playlist, a channel, or a messy list of URLs pasted at once. Arclio sorts out what it's looking at.
It probes the source
Real formats, real resolutions, real subtitle tracks — fetched straight from the site, not guessed.
You choose, or don't
Quick Download uses a saved profile instantly. Interactive mode opens the full picker — resolution, codec, audio, subtitles.
Pull it! ↓
It lands in the right folder, in the right format, with the right name — queued, resumable, and visible the whole way.
Built on yt-dlp, without the flag soup.
Every resolution, codec, and audio track yt-dlp can see, in a picker a first-time user can finish without reading a manual — and reusable download profiles for everyone else.
- Quick Download profiles for 4K, 1080p, audio-only, and Smart-TV-friendly MP4
- Bulk paste for playlists, channels, and long URL lists — duplicates cleaned automatically
- SponsorBlock, embedded or sidecar subtitles, resumable paused downloads
Everything you've pulled, in one place.
Downloads land in a searchable local library — tagged, collected, and organized by what they actually are, not just where they came from.
- Five media types: video, audio, documents, comics, and images
- Collections, tags, favorites, and playback history
- Full-text search across titles and metadata
Turn what you pulled into what you need.
A built-in FFmpeg-powered converter for the changes people actually make after downloading — no separate app, no re-upload to some website.
- Video transcode, resize, and trim between formats
- Audio extraction and conversion (MP3, AAC, FLAC, Opus)
- GIF creation and image format conversion
Open it without leaving the app.
PDFs, comic archives, and images open in a dedicated viewer, so the library isn't just a list of files waiting on another program.
- PDF viewer with zoom and page navigation
- CBZ/comic-archive reader with page pre-fetching
- Image viewer for everything else you've saved
The internet is full of sketchy “downloader” sites. Arclio is the opposite of one.
