About SaveThat
What SaveThat was
SaveThat was a free online audio and video converter, with no sign-up. It turned videos and sounds from YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Dailymotion, X (Twitter) and Bandcamp into MP3 or MP4 files, on desktop and mobile alike, in six languages.
It started from a simple observation: most converters are flooded with ads, impose arbitrary limits, advertise quality they do not deliver or hand out files with no metadata. SaveThat was built by a user, for users: a simple tool, honest about the quality actually available, that added title, artist, album and cover art to audio files and never kept a file for more than a few hours.
Why the pause
Since late August 2026, YouTube conversions, by far the most requested, were no longer working reliably. Rather than keep a degraded service online, we paused it on September 26, 2026.
This pause is about rebuilding SaveThat on better foundations, with a new model free of intrusive ads. We are not shutting down: we are preparing the comeback.
What is coming back
The comeback is driven by the waitlist. Every confirmed sign-up counts, and three public milestones each unlock a step:
- 500 sign-ups: the service comes back, in a better form and without intrusive ads.
- 1,000 sign-ups: support for new platforms.
- 10,000 sign-ups: a mobile app.
For new platforms, TikTok is at the top of the list. Twitch, Reddit, Apple Podcasts, Bilibili and TED are also among the options being explored. These are working goals, not promises: each platform first has to pass our technical tests.
No date is announced: the pace depends on sign-ups. Join the waitlist to hear about the comeback and every milestone reached.
Who is behind it
SaveThat is still the project of a user who wanted a better tool, for themselves and for everyone else. The principles have not changed: say what the tool does, promise nothing it cannot deliver, and respect the people who use it.
