Yoinks Studio — paste any video link, pick a resolution or MP3, and copy the exact yoinks commands for your own terminal
How to use Yoinks Studio
- Paste any video link and click Analyse to detect its platform with the real yoinks detector
- Pick a resolution from the format picker, or choose audio only MP3, just like the terminal app
- Copy the yoinks command or the exact yt-dlp command behind the selected format
- Run the copied command in a terminal where yoinks is installed to download the video
- Use the CLI Lab to test yoinks arguments, themes and error messages before you run them
- Browse the Site Support tab to check which hosts are named and which fall back to yt-dlp
- Install with npm install minus g yoinks, or try it once with npx yoinks, on Node 18 or newer
Features
- Built on the real pablostanley yoinks repo, MIT, version 0.3.1, with its exact platform hosts and detection logic
- All 9 named platforms verbatim: YouTube, X, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, Reddit and Facebook
- The real buildChoices format picker: up to 8 heights, mp4 and avc scoring, plus the audio only MP3 choice
- The real parseArgs CLI grammar: help, version, spaced and equals theme options, and the exact error messages
- The exact yt-dlp probe and download argument order, output template and progress template from the repo
- Sample probes for YouTube, X, Instagram and generic sites, clearly labelled as samples, not live results
- Install and how it works from the README, including the yt-dlp binary fetch and ffmpeg fallback
- Honest scope: this page plans and builds commands only, it never downloads video, since yt-dlp and ffmpeg need a terminal
