Tumblr Video Downloader for iPhone

Tumblr, just like most social platforms, doesn’t allow you to download files directly to your iPhone. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t download videos, pics, or gifs from Tumblr. In this guide, we will show you different methods you can use to save any media from the platform.

Before using these methods, it is important to know that they involve installing third-party apps to your device. In addition, you should familiarize with Tumblr’s terms and conditions with regards to downloading and using material that is posted on the platform.

Having got that out of the way, the following are ways of downloading Tumblr videos to your iPhone.

If you don’t wish to install a third-party app to download Tumblr videos to your iPhone, then why not use the iPhone screen recording feature? This new feature allows you to record your iPhone screen and save your recordings to your Camera Roll. Follow these steps to use this feature:

  • Open Tumblr and select the video or gif of choice
  • On iOS 11 or later, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap the record button
  • Wait for the 3-second countdown to start and tap the video to begin playing

You can access your recordings in your camera roll. Additionally, you can use the native iPhone editor to edit your recording.
