YouTube Video Download Free: What to Know
Resolutions, file sizes and which videos can be saved.
This tool makes YouTube video download free and simple: paste a link and you get an ordinary MP4 file that you keep and can play in any video player. YouTube Premium only lets you watch offline inside the YouTube app, and only while you keep paying.
It is safe and secure: no malware, and nothing you download is stored or shared.
Downloads are fast and free, with most videos ready in seconds.
Paste a link and you see every resolution YouTube has for that video: 360p and 480p for small files, 720p HD, 1080p Full HD, and 1440p or 4K (2160p) when the uploader published in that quality. Higher resolutions look sharper on a TV or monitor but make much bigger files.
The MP4 keeps the video's sound and opens in editors like Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut and iMovie, which is useful for reaction videos, school projects or keeping a copy of your own uploads.
Only public and unlisted videos work. Private videos, members-only videos and streams that are still live can't be downloaded, and playlists are saved one video at a time.
