App or website?

No ads between you and the file.

A download website puts pop-ups and someone else’s server in the way. The app puts nothing there.

Better together

Download it. Convert it. Never leave your PC.

  1. Downloader finds Convert

    It looks for Podalls Convert when it starts. Settings, under Converting, says where it found it.

  2. Every finished download gets a Convert button

    Next to Open and Show in folder. No saving, finding and dragging.

  3. Convert takes it from there

    As if you had dropped the file on its Tools page: a video or picture opens its dialog, a PDF does what your Dropped PDFs setting says.

What is Podalls Downloader?

Podalls Downloader is a free download manager for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). It saves files from direct HTTP and HTTPS links, handles BitTorrent magnet links, and offers quality options for supported video links. It is made by Podalls in Malaysia, and can send a finished download to Podalls Convert.

Is it really free? What is the catch?

It is free, with no account, no subscription and no ads. There is no catch: Podalls is a small software studio in Malaysia that builds websites and business software, and our free apps show the quality of what we make. Download the installer from this website or the official public releases page.

Is there a free download manager for Windows without ads?

Yes: Podalls Downloader is free, shows no ads, pop-ups or redirects, and needs no account. It is a Windows app, so no download website sits between you and the file.

Why does Windows warn me when I install it?

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen does not know the publisher and may say "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, check the app name, then Run anyway. To be sure the file is ours, compare its SHA-256 with the one on the install guide. The app’s own updates are signed with our key, separately from Windows code-signing.

Does Podalls Downloader work on Windows 10?

Yes. It runs on Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) and Windows 11, on 64-bit Intel and AMD PCs. Windows 11 is where we test every release, so it is the best-supported choice.

Can it download any webpage or video?

No. Direct file links must point to downloadable files. Dedicated video handling currently recognises YouTube addresses; it does not support every video website. Availability and permission to download depend on the source.

Can I pause or resume a download?

Not in the current version. Cancel stops the transfer; Retry starts it again. Downloads and their history do not resume after closing the app.

How do magnet links work?

Magnet links use BitTorrent to receive files from other peers. Peers can see your IP address, and pieces may be shared while downloading. The app removes a completed torrent from its session and does not keep seeding it.

Does it work with Podalls Convert?

Yes. Install Podalls Convert and restart Podalls Downloader. Finished downloads then offer a Convert button that opens the file in Podalls Convert for supported conversions.

Is Podalls Downloader affiliated with any video site?

No. Podalls Downloader is an independent product and does not claim endorsement by content providers. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC.
