What is FREE STUFF?

FREE STUFF lets you download videos and audio from YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, and thousands of other sites — all from one command.

It is a fork of yt-dlp (which is itself a fork of youtube-dl).


Installation

Worldwide — one command

pip install FREE--BUFF

Then use it:

freestuff "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..."

Windows (no Python needed)

Download and run install_freestuff.bat from the repo — it sets up FREE STUFF globally without needing Python installed.

pip install --upgrade FREE--BUFF
