Download from Tumblr

Paste a Tumblr post link and save the video.

By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.

How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the post address

    Either shape works — see below.

  2. 2

    Paste it and press Start

    This one takes a few seconds longer; the page is opened in a real browser.

  3. 3

    Save

    One video row, plus MP3 and WAV.

What you can get

Tumblr kept two link shapes and people copy whichever one their browser showed them, so both work here: the current www.tumblr.com/blog/number form and the older blog.tumblr.com/post/number one. Tumblr refuses a plain reader outright, so this one is loaded in a real browser on our side before the file is taken; it costs a few seconds and it is the reason the page works at all. A post with a photo or text and no video has nothing to take.

Both link shapes

Tumblr kept two addresses in circulation and people copy whichever their browser showed. Both are accepted:

  • www.tumblr.com/blogname/788607775569756160/slug — the current form
  • blogname.tumblr.com/post/788607775569756160/slug — the older one

Why this one needs a browser

Tumblr answers a plain reader with a flat 403. Not a redirect, not a consent page — a refusal. So this platform goes through the same headless Chromium that Threads does, which loads the post for real and takes the file it asks for.

The media itself then sits unsigned on va.media.tumblr.com, so once the page has been read the download is ordinary. A post with only a photo or text has nothing to take.

Frequently asked questions

Does the old blogname.tumblr.com form work?

Yes, both shapes resolve to the same post.

Why is it slower?

Because a real browser has to open the page first — Tumblr refuses anything else.
