Why Choose High Quality?

✓Selecting the best listed rendition removes the guesswork: there is no setting to get wrong and no quality left on the table.
✓Because the bytes are passed through, the saved file is identical to what the player received rather than a copy of a copy.
✓The ceiling is the upload itself, so this is as close to the creator original as the platform exposes.
✓A pass-through download costs no encoding time, so the wait is transfer time alone.
✓Starting an edit from the largest available rendition leaves the most room for cropping, stabilising and grading.

Perfect For

  • •Editing projects that will be re-exported more than once
  • •Archiving your own posts before you remove them
  • •Frame grabs and stills pulled out of motion

Pro Tips for High Quality

  • Best available is a ceiling, not a promise: for one post it means 1080×1920 and for another 720×1280, depending on what was encoded.
  • The output is MP4 in every case, since that is what the platform serves and nothing is converted afterwards.
  • If you need another container, remux rather than re-encode; MP4 to MOV or MKV in copy mode changes no picture data.
  • Keep this download as the master and derive smaller versions from it, instead of re-downloading at a lower setting.
  • Checking the file with ffprobe tells you the resolution, bitrate and codec you actually received in a couple of seconds.
  • Two downloads of the same post can differ in size over time, because the set of renditions a post has is not fixed forever.
