About Tumblr Video Downloader

Preserve your Tumblr legacy with a full local archive. The extension batch-downloads every post, from native videos and multi-GIF sets to audio posts, saving them in an organized folder structure by blog name, post date, and content type.

Before you migrate platforms or delete an account, secure every piece of media. The tool tracks reblog chains to attribute original creators, ensuring your archive respects content sources while capturing CDN-quality originals.

Even tag-based feeds are supported, so you can archive curated collections. Whether it’s a decade of personal posts or a research compendium, your content stays safe and accessible offline.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Tumblr Video Downloader in real workflows.

Archived a decade of Tumblr content overnight

I have been on Tumblr since 2012 and have thousands of posts with GIF sets and videos. This downloader archived my entire blog in one session, organized by year and month. Finally have everything backed up locally in case the platform changes again.

GIF quality is way better than dashboard compression

The GIF quality is noticeably better than what Tumblr shows in the dashboard feed. Getting the original CDN versions means my downloaded GIF sets look crisp instead of the compressed versions I see when scrolling.

Reblog tracking is a standout feature

I run a fan community blog and needed to back up all our original content plus track which posts were ours versus reblogs. The reblog chain tracking made it easy to separate original content from shared posts.
