One app, four jobs.
Arclio isn’t just a downloader. It’s where the files end up living, too.
The most capable downloader on the internet, made usable.
Arclio wraps yt-dlp and FFmpeg — the same engines power users run from a terminal — behind a wizard that a first-time visitor can finish without reading anything.
- Paste a single link, a playlist, a channel, or a mixed list at once
- Built-in profiles: Best available, 4K UHD, QHD, 1080p, 720p, Smart-TV MP4, audio-only
- Interactive mode exposes every resolution, codec, and audio track yt-dlp reports
- SponsorBlock segment skipping, subtitle download (embedded or sidecar, per-language)
- Resumable queue — pause, close the app, and pick up where you left off
A home for what you've collected, not just a downloads folder.
Every pull gets indexed automatically — metadata, thumbnail, and all — into a local library you can actually search and organize.
- Five media kinds recognized: video, audio, documents, comics, and images
- Collections and tags for grouping across sources
- Favorites and playback/reading history
- Full-text search across titles, authors, and descriptions
Change the format after the fact, without leaving the app.
A built-in, FFmpeg-powered converter for the changes people make after downloading — extract audio from a video, shrink a file, or turn a clip into a GIF.
- Video transcoding between MP4, MKV, WebM, and AVI
- Audio extraction and conversion — MP3, AAC, FLAC, Opus, WAV
- Resize, trim, and re-encode without a second tool
- GIF creation from any video clip
Open what you saved, right where you saved it.
PDFs, comic archives, and images open in dedicated viewers built into Arclio — no juggling a separate reader for every file type.
- PDF viewer with zoom and page navigation
- CBZ / comic-archive reader with page pre-fetching for fast paging
- Image viewer for everything else in the library
21 languages, real RTL support
Including Arabic, Urdu, and Pashto — with layout, wizard steps, and queue animations that mirror correctly, not just translated strings.
Bulk, without the mess
Paste dozens of URLs at once — duplicates get cleaned, non-media links get filtered, and you review before anything queues.
Local-first, always
Everything runs on your machine. The queue survives a restart, and nothing phones home unless you explicitly turn analytics on.
Ready when you paste the first link.
Pick your platform below — it takes about a minute to install.
