Batch Download Multiple Videos at Once - Videolyti v1.1

The One-at-a-Time Bottleneck

You've got a list of video URLs from a meeting, a conference, or a content review session. Maybe it's three TikToks you want to archive, or a handful of YouTube clips for a presentation. The old workflow meant visiting the upload screen, pasting one URL, waiting for it to process, downloading the result, then starting over. For a single video, that's fine. For ten videos, it's tedious. You're stuck monitoring each download to completion before you can queue up the next one. There's no progress overview, no way to see which videos succeeded or failed without keeping mental notes. If one URL breaks halfway through your list, you've lost track of where you were.

Batch Mode Does the Heavy Lifting

Batch mode handles up to three URLs in a single submission. Flip the toggle, paste your links (one per line), and hit download. The system processes them sequentially, showing real-time status for each: pending, downloading with a progress bar, then complete or error. If URL number two fails because of a broken link or unsupported format, URLs one and three keep going. When everything finishes, you get a summary count and individual download buttons for each successful video. No repetitive form filling, no losing your place in the queue.

Using Batch Download

  1. Toggle the "Batch Mode" switch in the upload form. The single URL field changes to a multi-line text area.
  2. Paste your video URLs, one per line. You can add up to three at once. Mix platforms if you want.
  3. Click the download button. Each URL gets its own status card showing pending, downloading (with percentage), or done/error.
  4. Once processing finishes, check the summary line for success/failure counts. Download each completed video with its own button.

Things Worth Knowing

  • The three-URL limit keeps server load manageable. If you need more, run a second batch after the first completes.
  • Videos process one after another, not simultaneously. Expect the total time to roughly equal the sum of individual download times.
  • Failed URLs don't stop the batch. If one link is broken or private, the others will still process normally.
  • Each video's progress bar updates in real time via Socket.IO. Keep the browser tab open until all downloads finish.

FAQ

How many videos can I download at once?

You can submit up to 3 URLs in a single batch. If you need more, run another batch after the first one finishes. This limit keeps server performance stable for everyone.

Can I mix URLs from different platforms?

Yes. You can combine TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Vimeo, and Reddit URLs in the same batch. Each URL is processed independently.

What happens if one URL fails?

Failed URLs don't stop the batch. If one link is broken, private, or unsupported, the other URLs continue processing normally. You'll see a clear error status for the failed one and download buttons for the successful ones.

Do batch downloads process simultaneously?

Videos process one after another (sequentially), not in parallel. This ensures each download gets full server resources. The total time is roughly the sum of individual download times.
