Tumblr in HD
One rendition — and most Tumblr video is a repost.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
Reblogs do not re-upload, but reposts do
A reblog points at the original post’s file, so it is the same quality as the source. A repost — someone downloading a video and uploading it again — is a second encode, and a chain of those is why some Tumblr video looks several generations deep.
You get whatever the post you pasted holds. If it looks soft, finding the original post usually finds a cleaner copy.
