OmniGet review
A broad, open-source downloader with strong media management and a 4K ceiling.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OmniGet is a free, open-source desktop application for downloading videos, audio, online courses, books, torrents and other files. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with Chrome and Firefox browser extensions for capture. Its supported sources include YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Bilibili, Udemy, Hotmart and more than 1,800 additional sites through yt-dlp. It suits users who want downloading combined with local media organization and conversion rather than a narrowly focused video downloader.
Its strongest distinction is breadth. OmniGet handles video and audio downloads, playlists, courses, batch jobs, subtitles, chapter splitting and browser capture. Whisper-generated subtitles, FFmpeg-based offline conversion, and re-encoding to HEVC, H.264 or AV1 add useful processing options after downloading. The crash-safe queue is designed for longer or multi-item jobs, while built-in video, music and book players keep downloaded content inside the same application. Integrations with Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, Qobuz, Last.fm, Discord, DeepL, LibreTranslate, Kodi and Jellyfin extend that media-management focus.
OmniGet is free forever, open-source and has no paid tier, so access is not divided across subscription plans. It supports MP4, M4A, XML, ASS and JSON outputs, with a documented maximum quality of 4K for Bilibili. That ceiling may matter to users prioritizing higher-resolution downloading. Source compatibility can also vary across the many supported websites, making OmniGet a better fit for broad personal media workflows than for buyers seeking a narrowly optimized downloader with the highest available quality. Choose it for automation, formats, subtitles and local playback; consider an alternative if resolution above 4K is central to the workflow.
