Features & formats

#
Will the downloaded video have a watermark?
For platforms that provide a watermark-free source, we try to return a clean file by default. If the watermark is burned into the video or a platform changed its rules, it may not be removable.
Can I download HD/original quality? Why does quality vary?
Quality depends on what the original post provides and platform limitations. If multiple options are available, pick a higher one. If not, the source may not offer alternatives.
Can I download audio-only or muted videos?
Yes. Choose Audio for audio-only files, or Muted to remove the audio track. Supported formats vary by platform (for example MP3/M4A/MP4).
How do I batch download multiple links?
Paste multiple links at once (separated by spaces or new lines). When batch mode is detected, you can process them together and track progress.
Do you support playlists/collections/series downloads?
Yes. For supported links, the app will try to detect collections/episodes/playlists and offer a batch entry. If it fails to detect, paste each item link into batch mode.

Account & points

#
Why does it sometimes ask me to sign in?
Basic downloads usually don't require an account. To reduce abuse and spam, features like issue reports, batch tasks, or points billing may require sign-in.
What are points and how are they charged?
If points are enabled on this site, downloads may consume points based on media duration: about 1 point per minute (rounded up). We check your balance before starting. If it's insufficient, you'll be prompted to purchase more.
Where can I check or buy points?
Open the Account page to view your current balance and purchase options. After payment, the balance usually refreshes automatically.

Troubleshooting

#
Parse failed or shows unsupported. What should I do?
Make sure the link is publicly accessible (not private, paid, or login-required). Try re-copying the share link, refreshing the page, switching networks, or trying again later (platform rules change frequently). If it still fails, use “Report an issue” on the home page and include the link and error message.
Downloads are slow or keep failing. Any tips?
Speed depends on your network and platform throttling. Try Wi‑Fi for long videos, switch networks, or retry later. If the issue persists, report it with the link and timestamp.
Can it download private/paid/login-required content?
No. Bamboo Download only handles publicly accessible content. Please respect copyright and creators' rights.

Policy & privacy

#
Do you store my links or files? Is it safe?
We never ask for your platform passwords. Links and media data are used temporarily during processing. Different deployments may keep minimal access logs for abuse prevention and debugging. This site may run third-party analytics/ads for operation and improvement.
