Download Video from Tumblr Post

Imagine scrolling through Tumblr, coming across a mesmerizing video that you simply must have. Yet, Tumblr doesn't provide a straightforward 'download' option. What do you do? Fret not, downloading a video from a Tumblr post is possible with a bit of know-how. Let's dive into the step-by-step process, ensuring your video is saved for offline viewing.

Before we begin, note that downloading videos from Tumblr isn't officially endorsed by the platform. Always respect content creators' rights. If a post includes a 'Do not download' or 'Download prohibited' notification, adhere to it.

Understanding Tumblr Video URLs

Tumblr uses a unique URL structure for videos. The crucial part lies after the 'v' in the URL. It's a string of characters that helps you identify the post's ID. Like so: 'https://example.tumblr.com/video/123456789'. Here, '123456789' is the post ID.

For GIFv videos, the process is slightly different. The post ID lies at the end of the URL, preceded by 'post'. For instance: 'https://example.tumblr.com/post/123456789'. In this case, '123456789' is your post ID.

Using a Video Download Site

Sites like Keepvid, y2mate, and 9download Bayesian for Services exist to help you download videos from various platforms, including Tumblr. Here's how to use them:

Happy 10 Year Anniversary, A Softer World, Rage Against The Machine, Get Educated, The More You Know, Writing A Book, Book Quotes, Really Funny, Fun Facts

Locate the video URL on Tumblr.
Copy the URL.
Visit your chosen download site.
Paste the URL into the provided box.
Click the 'Download' button and select your preferred quality.

Manually Extracting the Post ID

If you prefer a more direct method, you can manually extract the post ID and create a direct download link:

Locate the video URL on Tumblr.
Copy the URL.
For standard videos: Replace 'https://example.tumblr.com/video/' with 'https://1634.tumblr.com/graph/tumblr_in_thespam_archive/d episode by id/', then append the post ID. For example: 'https://1634.tumblr.com/graph/tumblr_in_thespam_archive/d episode by id/123456789'.
For GIFv videos: Replace 'https://example.tumblr.com/post/' with 'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/example.tumblr.com/post/', then append the post ID. Like so: 'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/example.tumblr.com/post/123456789'.

Downloading Videos via Inspect Element
