Tools
Convert, too.
Downloading is above. Video and audio conversion run on the machine hosting Yalla; the image converter never leaves your browser, so it works even with the engine off.

How it works
Three steps, then it's gone.
- 01
Paste or drop
A link for downloads, a file for conversions. It only ever reaches the machine running Yalla — and images never leave the tab.
- 02
Pick the exact quality
A real format matrix — resolution, fps, codec, size — not three presets. Or name a target file size and let Yalla work it out.
- 03
Get the file
Live progress, then a direct download. Finished files are deleted after an hour.
Why Yalla
Your machine. Your rules.
Every online downloader is someone else's server, someone else's ads, and someone else's copy of your file. This one is yours.
Your machine, your bandwidth.
Nothing is proxied through a stranger's server. Downloads and conversions run wherever you run Yalla.
No ads, no trackers, no accounts.
It's a tool, not a funnel. No analytics scripts, no sign-up wall, no upsell.
Every format the sites actually serve.
If it exists as a stream you can pick it: 8K, 60 fps, AV1, Opus, FLAC — or a plain compatible MP4.
Open source, MIT.
One small app that is both the UI and the engine. Small enough to read in an afternoon.
One command to self-host.
Docker, a macOS background service, or plain Node — the README walks through each, including putting it on the internet.
