How to Download Tumblr Videos From a Post
Tumblr posts often mix GIFs, native video, and embedded players. To download video from a Tumblr post, start with the direct post URL (permalink), not just the blog home page.
Find the post permalink
- Open the post on Tumblr.
- Click the post’s timestamp or share icon to get the permalink.
- Copy the URL — it should include the post ID in the path.
Fetch the video file
- Go to our multi-platform downloader.
- Paste the Tumblr post link.
- Click Fetch Download Links.
- Choose from any video formats returned.
