Three seconds of workflow

00:01

Paste

Any http link. Playlists never expand — a paste is exactly one clip, so your bin stays yours.

00:02

Pick quality

Best, 1080p, 720p, or audio-only. Set a default once in Preferences and never think about it again.

00:03

Edit

Up to 1080p, an H.264/AAC MP4 lands in your library folder, remuxed losslessly — Final Cut and Premiere ingest it natively. Above 1080p the video is remuxed as-is (often VP9 or AV1); still never re-encoded, though editor support varies.

Pricing that doesn’t play games

Free

UNCAPPED

720p + audio-only, one download at a time, single-link paste, resume and queue persistence. No three-a-day nonsense, no watermarks, works offline forever.

Your subscription funds the part that matters: sites change · we patch · downloads keep working. We sell a subscription because keeping downloads working is ongoing work — not a one-time sale we abandon.

For footage you’re allowed to use

ReelPull is built for your own uploads, Creative Commons material, and licensed footage. DRM-protected streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, Prime and friends) are refused up front — not worked around. That keeps your client work clean and this tool on the right side of the line.

Questions editors actually ask

Do the files really work in Final Cut / Premiere without converting?
Up to 1080p, yes — ReelPull prefers H.264/AAC and remuxes it losslessly into an MP4, which both NLEs ingest natively. Above 1080p, YouTube only offers VP9 or AV1: ReelPull still remuxes into MP4 without re-encoding, but remux swaps the wrapper, not the codec. (why a downloaded file gets refused.) For 4K, Pro’s Edit-ready ProRes export transcodes to visually-lossless ProRes 422 HQ that Final Cut and Premiere ingest natively — no HandBrake, no conversion roulette.
Does it work offline?
The app and your licence verify entirely on your Mac — no account, no login. Pro licences renew silently in the background while you’re subscribed, with a 7-day grace window, so a week on set without Wi-Fi changes nothing. Downloads themselves need the internet, obviously.
How do I cancel?
Yourself, in the Stripe customer portal — “Manage subscription” below. Your Pro features run to the end of the period you’ve paid for, then the app quietly returns to the free tier. No emails, no phone calls, no guilt trip.
I lost my licence key.
Enter your purchase email below and we’ll re-send the key to the address on file. It only ever goes to that address.
Why won’t it download from Netflix?
Those services encrypt their streams (DRM). Downloading them means breaking that encryption, which is both illegal in most places and against what this tool is for. ReelPull tells you up front instead of failing confusingly.
