Three steps, no software

  1. 1

    Paste the link

    Copy the link of a public TED video from your browser or the app's Share button.

  2. 2

    Pick a format

    Best quality merges the sharpest video with the best audio. Or choose a resolution with sound, or audio only.

  3. 3

    Save the file

    Watch the live progress. When it says ready, press Download file - that is it.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Best quality, merged

Sites often store picture and sound separately. Best quality fetches both and joins them into one MP4.

Every resolution, with sound

Each resolution is offered with sound. Sort by quality or file size, or switch to video-only and audio.

Audio conversion

Keep the original audio or convert it to MP3, M4A, Opus or WAV before it is handed to you.

Live, resumable progress

See speed, size and time remaining. Refresh the page and the download reconnects instead of starting over.

Recent links

Links you fetch are remembered in this browser only, so you can come back to them in one tap.

Use it responsibly

Only download what you own or have permission to save. Private, paid and DRM-protected content cannot be downloaded.

Key facts

  • Works with public TED Talk videos
  • The URL is sent to A2Z Tools' own download-processing service, which retrieves the available formats
  • only works with publicly published TED Talks
  • The file streams to your browser as a direct download, not saved permanently on our web server
  • Free to use, no signup required

What is this tool?

This tool lets you download a copy of public TED Talk videos by pasting its URL, choosing from the available download formats, and saving it to your device.

How to use it

Paste the TED video's URL into the input box and click the fetch button. The tool retrieves the formats available for that specific video; pick the one you want and download it.
  1. Copy the URL of the TED video you want to download.
  2. Paste the URL into the input field on this page.
  3. Click the fetch button to retrieve the available download formats.
  4. Choose a format/quality option from the list.
  5. Download the video file to your device.

Example

Example: pasting a TED video URL and clicking fetch shows a list of downloadable format cards with their quality, ready to save.

How it works

When you click fetch, the page calls A2Z Tools' own server endpoint with your URL. That endpoint forwards the request to A2Z Tools' dedicated download-processing service, which extracts the video's available formats and returns them; the page then displays them as selectable format cards. Choosing a format streams the file back to your browser through a proxy endpoint.

Common use cases

  • Saving a TED video for offline viewing.
  • Archiving your own uploaded TED content.
  • Downloading royalty-free or Creative-Commons-licensed videos for personal use.
  • Extracting video content from TED for reference or study.

Benefits

Free, no signup, and works directly from a pasted URL without needing separate downloader software.

Limitations

only works with publicly published TED Talks; available formats and quality depend entirely on what the source video offers, not on this tool; downloading copyrighted video without permission from the rights holder may violate TED's terms of service or copyright law, and users are responsible for how they use downloaded content.

Privacy & your data

The URL you submit is sent from our server to A2Z Tools' own download-processing service to retrieve the video's available formats; the resulting file is then streamed to your browser as a download. We do not have visibility into whether the separate download-processing service retains any data, so that specific behaviour is not independently verified from this codebase.
