# Social Ripper 0.5 preview

Unzip this folder somewhere you can write files, then open SocialRipper.exe.
Windows 10/11 x64. This is an unsigned development preview.

First download: the app prepares its media tools automatically. Internet is required for this one-time setup. Downloads come from the yt-dlp GitHub release, imageio's FFmpeg distribution and the official Node.js distribution, and are checked with SHA-256 before installation.

Paste public video links from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or X. Private posts, login requirements and platform restrictions may prevent a download. Use content you own or have permission to use.

Collections: choose + beside All clips to create a collection. New clips save to that collection's folder under your chosen download folder. The Collection menu under a selected clip organizes existing clips without moving their original files.

Extract audio saves MP3, WAV or M4A separately. Your source video is preserved.

Settings/history are stored in data; downloaded tools in tools. Keep App.xaml and assets beside the executable. There is no Social Ripper account or media server.

This preview does not include third-party downloader/runtime executables. They are retrieved separately on first use. Font license notices are included in assets/fonts. Tool sources and notices are listed in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt.
