cobalt lets you save anything from your favorite websites: video, audio, photos or gifs — cobalt can do it all!
|
|
|
|
no ads, trackers, or paywalls, no nonsense. just a convenient web app that works everywhere.

all requests to backend are anonymous and all tunnels are encrypted.
|
|
we have a strict zero log policy and don't track *anything* about individual people.
|
|
|
|
to avoid caching or storing downloaded files, cobalt processes them on-the-fly, sending processed pieces directly to client.
|
|
this technology is used when your request needs additional processing, such as when source service stores video & audio in separate files.
|
|
|
|
for even higher level of protection, you can [ask cobalt to always tunnel everything](/settings/privacy#tunnel).
|
|
when enabled, cobalt will proxy everything through itself. no one will know what you download, even your network provider/admin.
|
|
all they'll see is that you're using cobalt.

since we don't rely on any existing downloaders and develop our own from ground up,
|
|
cobalt is extremely efficient and a processing server can run on basically any hardware.
|
|
|
|
main processing instances are hosted on several dedicated servers in several countries,
|
|
to reduce latency and distribute the traffic.
|
|
|
|
we constantly improve our infrastructure along with our long-standing partner, [royalehosting.net]({partners.royalehosting})!
|
|
you're in good hands, and will get what you need within seconds.

cobalt is used by countless artists, educators, and content creators to do what they love.
|
|
we're always on the line with our community and work together to create even more useful tools for them.
|
|
feel free to [join the conversation](/about/community)!
|
|
|
|
we believe that the future of the internet is open, which is why cobalt is [source first](https://sourcefirst.com/) and [easily self-hostable]({docs.instanceHosting}). you can [check the source code & contribute to cobalt]({contacts.github})
|
|
at any time, we welcome all contributions and suggestions.
|
|
|
|
you can use any processing instances hosted by the community, including your own.
|
|
if your friend hosts one, just ask them for a domain and [add it in instance settings](/settings/instances#community).

new features, such as [remuxing](/remux), work on-device.
|
|
on-device processing is efficient and never sends anything over the internet.
|
|
it perfectly aligns with our future goal of moving as much processing as possible to client.
