Paste a link. Choose a quality. Press download. Download SIU pulls video and audio
from 56+ websites in up to 4K / 240 FPS, extracts
lossless audio, and can walk an entire series episode by episode — all processed
locally on your own PC.
Not a browser extension. Not a website that re-encodes your video into mush.
A real desktop application with a real encoder behind it.
Core
Video & audio from a single link
Paste the address of a video — or of the page it sits on — and get it back in
the quality you picked, wrapped in MKV or MP4. Single files, queued batches,
or an entire playlist in one pass.
Resolution picker from 144p all the way to 4K
Frame rate locked to the source, or forced to 30 / 60 / 120 / 240
Keeps every audio track and subtitle stream the source offers
Live queue with per-item progress and a full log panel
Lossless audio extraction
Pull the audio out on its own in MP3, M4A, WAV or FLAC, and set the bitrate and
sample rate yourself. Perfect for archiving a music library properly.
Whole series, unattended
Where the site allows it, SIU walks from one episode to the next by itself and
grabs the full season. Start it, close the lid, come back to a finished folder.
Tuned to your hardware
A CPU-thread slider, concurrency limits and live CPU / RAM / network meters let you
decide how much of your machine the encoder is allowed to take.
Your links stay yours
URLs are resolved locally by the bundled yt-dlp and FFmpeg. We never receive the
links you paste, and we never log what you download. Our servers only know your license.
Always current
Updates that keep up with the web
Streaming sites change their players constantly. SIU ships updates continuously to
track those changes, and the app checks for new versions on its own — so a site that
broke last month is usually working again the next time you open it.
Two engines
Fast by default. Obsessive when you need it.
Switch between them with one click, at any time.
ECO Mode
Recommended
The file exactly as the source has it — just rewrapped into MKV or MP4.
No re-encoding, no quality loss, almost no work for your CPU. This is the fastest
path from link to finished file, and the one most people should use.
Original quality, byte for byte
Finishes in seconds instead of minutes
Barely registers on your CPU
PC loadVery low
PRO Mode
Full control
Every knob exposed: resolution, frame rate, container, encoder preset,
which audio tracks to keep, which subtitles to burn or embed, how many threads to
spend. For when the default is not what you want.
Presets for Standard, Gameplay, Movie and Anime
Pick exact resolution and FPS independently
Choose audio tracks and subtitle streams per file
PC loadHigh
Currently tested and supported on Windows. macOS and Linux builds are in progress.
How it works
Three steps. That's the whole thing.
Copy the link
Right-click the video and copy its address — or just copy the address of the page
the video is playing on. Both work.
Paste it into SIU
Drop it into the link field, pick ECO or PRO, and set the quality if you care.
Defaults are already sensible.
Press download
The queue takes over. Watch the progress bar, or go do something else — the file
lands in the folder you chose.
Make it yours
Five themes. One click apart.
The whole interface re-skins instantly — every panel, meter and button.
Pick the one that matches the room you work in.
Cyan
Cold, technical, high contrast. Pure cyberpunk console.
Matrix Green
Easy on the eyes over long sessions. Terminal energy.
Gold
Warm and bright — the one that stands out in a dark room.
Violet Default
The signature Download SIU look. Balanced and modern.
Crimson
Loud, saturated, energetic. For people who like a bit of aggression.
Use the arrows, the thumbnails or your arrow keys. Swipe on touch. It pauses when you hover.

Downloads 4K without a single hiccup. The interface is genuinely
beautiful and it never gets in my way. Worth every cent of the Lifetime plan.

I'm a video editor and I pull clips all day long. PRO mode with
batch downloads saved me hours in the first week. Support answered me in minutes.

Tried the free trial and bought the annual plan before it ran out.
The FLAC extraction is exactly what my music collection needed.
All major cards and wallets, handled end to end by Stripe — Visa, Mastercard,
American Express and more. We never see or store your card details.
Yes. Checkout happens entirely on Stripe's PCI-DSS certified infrastructure.
Your card number and CVC never touch our servers — we only ever receive a
confirmation that the payment succeeded.
Immediately, either way. The free trial is activated from a button
inside the app: press it and the 5 days unlock straight away — no form, no email, no card.
If you buy a plan, the licence code appears on screen the moment payment
is confirmed and a copy is emailed to you automatically.
56 at the time of writing — the ones people and the media actually use. A few
require you to be signed in for security reasons, and DRM-protected platforms are
deliberately excluded for legal and privacy reasons. The rest are plain copy and paste.
Right-click the video and copy its URL, or simply copy the address of the page it's
on. Paste it into SIU and press download. That's the entire workflow.
Yes — each license is bound to a single PC through a 16-character hardware code
you'll find in the app under Settings. If you renew while time is still left on your
current license, the new time is added on top of what you have.
We never reduce time you already paid for.
Try it for five days. No card, no catch.
Install it, run a few downloads, and decide with real files in front of you.
If it isn't better than what you're using now, you've lost nothing.
