Quality check

Still right-clicking and screenshotting?

A screenshot saves only as big as your screen, and right-click saves only the size the site shrank it to. RaccoonDown grabs it at the resolution it was uploaded in.

Example: a 1290×2796 portrait image posted on X. Saved sizes vary by site and screen.

How it works

Three steps, then it's just copy → click

Scroll down — the screen on the left follows each step.

1

Install and leave it in the tray

The installer takes under a minute. Turn on “launch with Windows” and RaccoonDown waits quietly in the tray. It automatically detects any link you copy.

2

Copy a link Ctrl+C

A YouTube video, an Instagram post, an X thread, a profile address — the popup appears the moment you copy.

3

Click “Download now”

Saved in your remembered quality. When it finishes, play it or open the folder straight from the notification.

All-in-one

Starts as a downloader, ends up as your PC's Swiss Army knife

Capture, recording, pen and widget. Follow-back check. Vault, notes and calendar. Clipboard, file tools and power schedule. Duplicate finder, PC cleanup, drivers, network and security. All in one app, all free.

01
Screen Capture

One shortcut to snap, mark up and paste

Built to replace dedicated screenshot tools. No ads, free, and it works anywhere as long as RaccoonDown is running.

  • Detailed capture Ctrl+Shift+E — pick an area and the editor opens instantly: arrows, text, blur, numbered steps
  • Area, 1:1, monitor, window, scrolling — capture a long web page in one image
  • Text grab (OCR) Ctrl+Shift+T — reads text in any image straight to your clipboard
  • QR reader and color picker — open on-screen QR codes, get any pixel as HEX
  • PNG/JPG format, save folder, even the shutter sound — all your call in Settings
02
Screen Recording

Monitor, window or area to MP4 — with sound

Record lectures, games and meetings exactly as they look. System audio and mic together, plus a red border showing exactly what's being recorded.

  • Start and stop instantly with Ctrl+Shift+V, check the time from the tray
  • Full monitor · a single window · any area you drag
  • System audio + mic, quality and frame rate settings
  • Play it or open the folder right from the done pop-up
03
Screen Pen

Draw right on your screen while you present

Lays a clear sheet over any app so you can draw on top. Highlighter, arrows, shapes, text, a laser pointer — and one-click erase.

  • Toggle with Ctrl+Shift+D, save your drawing as a capture
  • Pen, highlighter, arrow, rectangle, circle, text
  • 6 colors, stroke width, undo, clear all
  • Drawings stay put while you switch screens
04
Widget

A toolbox that's always at the edge of your screen

A small panel for one-click capture, recording, notes and calendar. It tucks into the edge, slides out when your mouse gets close, and shows your latest captures.

  • Vertical or horizontal, in any of 8 screen positions
  • Preview your last 10–50 captures, drag them into other apps
  • Auto-hide at the edge, always on top, opacity and size
  • Choose which tabs to show (capture, download, record)
05
Follow-back Check

See who doesn't follow you back on Instagram and X

Sign in inside the app and it compares your following and followers. Accounts you follow that don't follow back, the reverse, and mutuals — neatly split.

  • Instagram and X in one window, split into tabs
  • With profile photos and names, one click to the profile
  • Auto-check twice a day, 1 hour apart (Instagram), with change alerts
  • Your username and password are never saved
06
Password Vault

Passwords you'd rather not trust to the cloud stay on your PC

Keep usernames, passwords and account numbers on a card for each site, and tap a pill to copy. Everything is encrypted so only this PC and this user can unlock it.

  • Unlock with a pattern or PIN — the keypad shuffles every time
  • Second lock per card — view and copy briefly, the lock stays on
  • Groups (with photos) for family and work accounts, drag site chips or sort by color
  • Auto-lock timer, recover via recovery code or email
  • Copied passwords are wiped from the clipboard after 1 minute
07
Notepad

Sticky notes that feel like real paper

Create a note from the small list window and it pops out as its own paper window. Notes snap to your desktop edges like magnets, and snapped notes move together as a set.

  • Title, body, to-do checkboxes, tags, paper colors and text styles
  • Spell check (optional), search, trash
  • Light/dark paper, always on top
  • Sign in to sync between PCs
08
Calendar

Your schedule, pinned to the desktop

Month, this-week focus, week and timetable views. Color-coded groups, public holidays, reminders and countdowns. Pin it to the desktop and it sits quietly behind everything.

  • Multi-day, repeating events, reminders (pop-up and sound), snooze
  • Group color palette, hide by group, search
  • Public holidays (by country), Sundays and holidays in red, today highlighted
  • Pin to desktop, full lock, opacity
  • Sign in to sync between PCs
09
Clipboard history

Remembers your last 200 copies, ready to paste

Press Ctrl+Shift+H and a small panel appears by your cursor. Search, pick one, and it's pasted straight into the app you were using. Text and images alike.

  • 200 text and image items, with link, phone, email, text and image badges
  • Search, All/Text/Images/Pinned chips — pinned items survive clearing
  • Passwords copied from password managers or the vault are never recorded
  • Stored encrypted on this PC only
10
File tools

Sort, convert images, edit video and PDF — in one window

Move a cluttered Downloads folder into neat folders by type, shrink dozens of photos at once, trim videos while you watch, and merge or split PDFs.

  • Sort into folders — nothing deleted: photos, videos, documents, archives and installers each get a folder, with undo
  • Image conversion — JPG, PNG, WebP, long-edge size, quality, estimated size before you convert
  • Video editing — pick a range on the film strip to trim, extract MP3 or make a GIF; keep or replace the original
  • PDF — merge, split, images→PDF, compress
11
Power schedule

Shut down when downloads finish

Queue things up at night and go to bed. From the tray menu: shut down in 30 min, 1 hour or 2 hours, sleep in 30 min, or keep awake. A 60-second countdown lets you cancel first.

  • Tick "Shut down when downloads finish" on the progress screen
  • Tray menu → Power — schedule or cancel
  • 60-second countdown ring, Cancel or Shut down now
12
Duplicate Finder

Find identical photos and videos, send them to the trash

Only files with exactly the same content get grouped. It keeps the one in your user folders and auto-selects copies in temp and cache folders. Hover a thumbnail to see it big.

  • Photos and videos, many folders at once
  • Select all but one per group / select all
  • Move to Recycle Bin · delete permanently (with confirmation)
  • Skips hidden folders and AppData
13
PC Cleanup

Clears only what's safe to delete

Windows temp files, browser caches, error reports, graphics shader caches… your photos and documents are never touched. Run it automatically at startup, daily or weekly.

  • Shows how much each item will free up before you start
  • Uninstall programs — what you installed, kept apart from what Windows needs
  • Startup apps — turn on or off like Task Manager, or remove from the list
  • Force delete — unlocks stubborn files and folders from the apps holding them, then deletes
14
Drivers · Hardware · Battery

See inside your PC at a glance

CPU, graphics, motherboard, memory, storage and network hardware with driver versions, live usage and temperatures, plus battery health and disk status.

  • Find and install new drivers from the official Windows catalog, clean up old unused ones
  • Live CPU, memory and graphics usage and temperature
  • Battery health (% of original) · disk health (Good · Caution · Replace soon)
  • Internet rescue USB — keep your Ethernet and Wi-Fi drivers ready in advance
15
Network · Internet speed

Speed gauge, your IP, Wi-Fi and DNS

Tests your speed with one big number in the middle, like fast.com, plus ping and upload. Your current connection (wired/Wi-Fi, router, ISP), public and local IP, location, and DNS switching — all here.

  • Download, upload, ping, with a "very fast" to "slow" verdict
  • Wi-Fi signal, band, standard, security and link speed
  • Public IP, local IP, IPv6 — copy in one click
  • 5 global DNS providers + your ISP's, renew IP
16
Virus scan · Security check

Make sure no one is peeking into your PC

Runs scans with Windows Security and checks for remote-control apps (AnyDesk, TeamViewer and more), Remote Desktop, camera/mic use and hosts tampering. Real-time monitoring is one switch away.

  • Quick or full virus scan, with a summary
  • Whether remote control or Remote Desktop is on
  • Apps using your camera or mic, with history
  • Checks for hosts file and proxy tampering, new admin accounts, Windows Security (Defender) turned off
17
Account · Sync

Just notes and calendar, across your PCs

Sign in with Google, Discord, X or email and your notes and calendar stay in sync with your other PC. The vault is never uploaded. One account works on one PC at a time.

  • Syncs notes and calendar only — never the vault
  • If another PC is using it, asks "Disconnect and use here?"
  • Every feature works without signing in

If the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime is missing, the installer points you to Microsoft's free download.

FAQ

Good questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No feature limits and no paid tier. A small ad banner may appear on the download screen in the future, but the program stays free.

Which versions of Windows?

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. It needs the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime; if it's missing the installer tells you where to get it. Installs to your user folder without admin rights.

Windows shows a blue “protected your PC” screen.

RaccoonDown is new and not yet code-signed, so SmartScreen doesn't recognise it. Click More info → Run anyway. Only use the installer downloaded from this site.

Can I download Instagram Stories or private posts?

Yes. Sign in to Instagram (or X, Pinterest) once from Settings. The sign-in window is the site's own official page; RaccoonDown never stores your username or password.

Where do files go?

By default into Downloads › RaccoonDown, sorted by site › account › section (Stories, posts…). Change the location any time from Settings or the left menu.

How do I choose quality?

The default is “Best quality (MP4 · plays anywhere)”. Pick a resolution from “Options” in the popup or on the download screen, and it's remembered. Use “Audio only” for MP3.

What data is collected?

Only if you opt in during installation: an anonymous install ID and aggregate counts such as “how many downloads per site”. Never links, titles, file names or IP addresses. See the privacy policy.

What about copyright?

RaccoonDown is a tool for saving publicly available content for personal use. Rights stay with the original creators; redistribution or commercial use must follow each site's terms and applicable law.
