Nazzel: a free Android app to download videos from Facebook, TikTok and YouTube
Nazzel is an Android app I built to save videos and audio from social media in as few taps as possible. No copying a link into an ad-filled website: you tap Share on the post, choose Nazzel, pick a quality, and the video is on your phone.
Which sites does Nazzel download from?
Nazzel currently downloads from these sites:
Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), Dailymotion, SoundCloud, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat Spotlight, Twitch, Vimeo, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Tumblr, VK, Bilibili, Likee, Rumble and Kick.
It saves public posts only. Private posts and posts that need a login are not supported.
How do you download a video with Nazzel?
- Download the app from the Nazzel download page on Telegram and install it
- Open the post in Facebook, TikTok or any other app and tap Share
- Choose Nazzel in the share menu. A small sheet opens on top of the app you are in
- Pick a quality, or audio only, and the download starts while you stay where you were
If you copied a link instead, just open Nazzel: it fills the link in by itself.
What makes it different from download websites?
- The download runs on your phone, not on a shared server. Sites block a phone’s own connection far less often than the servers that most download sites use
- No ads, no account, no subscription
- Quick mode skips the quality sheet and saves the best quality straight away
- Playlists and albums: pick the items you want and follow each one
- Works in the background with a progress notification, so you can close the app
- Keeps itself working: the downloader updates on its own when sites change, and the app tells you when a new version is out
- Dark theme in the settings
The interface is in Arabic.
Where are the videos saved?
In Download/Nazzel on your phone, so they show up in the gallery and your file manager right away. You can pick another folder in the settings.
Is it private?
Yes. Nazzel collects nothing about you: no account, no analytics, no ads, no log files. The link you share goes only to the site it came from, and your download list stays on your phone. It asks for no location, contacts, camera or microphone permission.
It is open source, and the full code is on GitHub if you want to check for yourself.
What do you need?
- Android 10 or newer
- A 64-bit phone, which covers most current phones
Is Nazzel free?
Yes, completely. There is no paid version and nothing locked.
A video you save still belongs to whoever made it: keep it to watch later, and don’t repost someone else’s work without asking.
