Getting started

Paste a URL, download your media, in 30 seconds.

The 30-second path

  1. Find the media. Open Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, MSN, or one of the supported broadcast-news sites and find the post, reel, photo, or video you want to save. See Supported platforms for the full list.
  2. Copy the URL. Copy the address from your browser bar, or tap the platform's Share menu and choose "Copy link."
  3. Paste it into LiftMonkey. On the home page, paste the URL into the input and click Get Media.
  4. Wait a few seconds. We detect the platform, fetch the media in the background, and show you a status page. Most extractions finish in under 10 seconds.
  5. Download or cloud-save. When the status turns green, click Download to pull the file to your device, or let it route automatically to your default cloud destination.

Do I need an account?

You can paste and download without signing in for basic saves. Sign up if you want:

  • A history of your past pastes so you can re-download without re-pasting.
  • Cloud destinations so media gets routed to your own storage automatically.
  • Your mobile download preference (share sheet vs. Files app) remembered across devices.

Create your account.

An example

Say a friend sends you this Twitter/X link:

https://twitter.com/username/status/1234567890123456789

Paste it into the home page, click Get Media, and LiftMonkey will return either a downloadable photo, a video, or a gallery picker if the tweet has multiple photos.

Skip the paste: send URLs from another app

On iOS, install the Send to LiftMonkey Shortcut and that action shows up in any app's share sheet — tap it from Safari, Twitter/X, Photos, or Messages and the URL lands as a queued save without any copy/paste. This is called LlamaDrop; the one-tap install link and full walkthrough live on the iOS Shortcut (LlamaDrop) page.
