Paste a link, select your preferred format and quality, queue 100+ downloads with pause/resume/retry support, and manage it all in one place

MediaCrate is a Windows application for saving video or audio from supported websites. Paste one link for a quick download or prepare an organized queue when you have several items to collect.
Helpful previews show the title, thumbnail, available formats, quality choices, and estimated size when the website provides them. Each download keeps its own progress and controls, so it is always clear what is happening and where the finished file will go.
MediaCrate's performance:
~0% CPU usage while idle
~1% CPU usage during active use
~60 MB memory usage
Download speed depends on the internet connection and the website providing the media.

Use Single URL when you want one item with as little setup as possible. Use Multi URL to paste or import several links, give each item its own format and quality, and manage the collection from one screen.
MediaCrate remembers the queue between sessions. An interrupted item is not restarted without your knowledge, so you can review it before continuing.
When a preview is available, MediaCrate shows the useful details before the transfer begins. Choose the result you want, decide what should happen if the file already exists, and set speed or queue limits when necessary.
If a selected format needs an additional media component, MediaCrate can guide you through installing it from Settings.
MediaCrate brings video and audio together or converts the result when required, then saves it under a clear name. The local history can open the file, reveal its folder, or return the original link to the current workflow.
