FAQ

Is this free? Yes, completely free with no limits and no signup.

What is the highest quality available? HD 1280x720 (maxresdefault) when the uploader provided one. The tool automatically skips it for videos that only have lower resolutions.

Is my activity tracked? No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and sends nothing to Trencada servers.
