Looking for the BlackHole app?
The short answer: this site, blhole.com, is not the BlackHole Android app by fawazapp, and we are not connected to its developer. We are a video downloader that runs in your browser and happens to share the name. If a tutorial for that app brought you here, everything it did you can do on this page, with nothing to install.
How to download videos on Android without an app
Three steps, in Chrome or any browser.
- Copy the video link. In TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X or YouTube, tap Share, then Copy link.
- Paste it into the box on this page. Open blhole.com in Chrome or any browser on your phone, paste the link into the download box, and pick a quality or MP3.
- Tap Download. The file saves to your phone's Downloads folder. Nothing to install, no APK, no permissions.
What changed with the BlackHole Android app
The app on Google Play called BlackHole, by fawazapp, was for years a popular way to save videos on Android, and many tutorials still show it doing that. As of 23 September 2026, its listing describes it as “a small app to remove sound from the video”, and recent reviews there report that downloads no longer work.
We can't speak for its developer, and we don't know what it will do next. What we can offer is the download itself: paste a link above and it is done in your browser.
What's free, and what's Pro
- Free: 3 downloads/day at up to 480p from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit, Pinterest, Bluesky and SoundCloud, with a free account.
- Pro: unlimited downloads, up to 4K, and YouTube included, across all 9 platforms. A 24-hour pass is $1.99; Pro is $5.99 a month or $19.99 a year.
Want an app anyway?
We don't make an Android or iPhone app. On a phone, the website is the app: from Chrome's menu, choose “Add to Home screen” and blhole.com opens like one.
On a Windows PC or a Mac there is BlackHole Desktop, a real installable app that downloads on your own machine at your connection's full speed.
