Paste a direct link
Use a public HTTP or HTTPS URL that returns video bytes without a login. A filename extension is not enough: the service checks the file header.
Download a public MP4 file from its direct link.
The server transfers the file to your browser without storing it or adding it to upload history. Successful source validation uses one daily allowance shared with uploads, even if the transfer later stops. The allowance resets at midnight UTC.
MP4 only, up to 100 MiB (104,857,600 bytes) per file. YouTube, TikTok and other platform pages, private or DRM-protected videos, HLS (.m3u8) and DASH (.mpd) playlists are not supported.

No conversion, re-encoding or quality selection. The original container and file bytes are preserved; renaming an extension does not convert a video.

Check that the URL opens the file without a login and has not expired. The source may block server access, respond too slowly or return an unsupported header. MOV requires a QuickTime ftyp header; IPv6-only sources are unsupported. If your allowance is exhausted, wait for midnight UTC.
