How to use the direct media url downloader
- 1
Paste an http:// or https:// media URL.
- 2
Review the detected kind, extension, and size.
- 3
Download through a signed, expiring Worker link.
What happens to your link
The URL is normalized in the Worker. A recognized platform selects the extractor or public metadata path. An unrecognized public host receives a direct media probe first, then a generic public-page metadata fallback. The target never receives your Fetchora cookies, and no private address is contacted.
Download options are tied to a 20-minute encrypted token. The Worker streams the selected file and does not write it to R2, KV, D1, or disk.
