KeepVid is a tool that allows for users to record and save videos from all over the internet with tremendous ease and security. It is a website that users can go to at any time and simply import the URL of their desired video and have a high-quality video file on their computer. Users can also download KeepVid's offline software that allows for faster download speeds and a more simplistic download system. It is good software for anyone who wants to save videos for offline usage or to watch on the go.

KeepVid is incredibly easy to use and overall safe to use. The online version only supports 28 sites, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, and even CNN.com. The offline version supports almost all types of video files from almost all types of websites.

KeepVid, as mentioned earlier, in its online version is completely free, while the offline version requires a yearly license. The offline version does require a download that might take a while. KeepVid has extensions for within browsers that make downloading a video as easy as just clicking a button. KeepVid is available for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 operating systems as well as for Andriod mobile devices. Although the downloadable version of KeepVid is not available for Apple operating systems, Apple users can still use the online version. Currently, KeepVid is only available in English but non-English speakers shouldn't have any difficulties using this software.

The biggest downsides of this software are that the online version does not support all media types and that the offline version requires paying for a license. KeepVid can also be quite slow when downloading large files or when the internet is slow. The offline version boasts that it can improve download speeds buy three times and that it can support all media types.

Overall, for casual users who only want to download a video every now and again, the online version of KeepVid is great. For those who are looking to save large files or download files on the regular, they may consider upgrading to the offline version.
