Tumblr Video Downloader
Paste a Tumblr post permalink and save its native video as MP4.
Quick answer
Tumblr Video Downloader downloads videos from public Tumblr posts as MP4 files. Tumblr hosts native video and also embeds clips from other platforms; the tool targets native video on the post. Reblog chains usually point to the original media, which is what gets saved. Private and password-protected blogs are not accessible. Files expire after two hours.

Frequently asked questions
A post is a reblog — which video gets saved?
The original media that the reblog points to. Duplicate reblogs of the same post resolve to the same file.
Does it download YouTube or Vimeo embeds inside a Tumblr post?
No. Those are third-party players. Use the YouTube or Vimeo downloader for the embedded video instead.
Can it access a password-protected blog?
No. Password-protected and private blogs do not expose public post pages, so there is nothing anonymous to fetch.
What if the post has a GIF instead of a video?
Tumblr GIFs are images, not video streams. The tool returns an error when no MP4 is present.
