What is YT Downloader?
YT Downloader is a free online tool that lets you copy a YouTube video URL, paste it into the downloader, and save the video or its audio to your own device. It supports MP4 and MP3, and quality options from 360p to 4K.
Usually YouTube doesn't allow you to save videos into your local storage. YT Downloader helps you save permitted videos so you can watch or listen even without the internet, whether that is music, lectures, tutorials, Shorts, or playlists.
It is a super fast and easy-to-use tool that doesn't require any account or login. You can open it anytime in your browser, so there is no software or application to install.
What you can save
The downloader handles the following kinds of YouTube content, in the formats and qualities the original upload offers:
- Videos in 720p HD, 1080p Full HD, 1440p 2K and 2160p 4K, saved as MP4 or WEBM.
- Audio saved as MP3 up to 320kbps.
- YouTube Shorts, to save, edit, or share with friends on social media.
- Whole playlists such as courses, music mixes and tutorials, in one session.
- Videos with multilingual captions, and thumbnails in HD and full HD quality.
How it works
Open the video on YouTube, tap the share icon and copy the link. Visit YT Downloader in any browser, paste the link into the input box and let the tool process the video. Select the quality and format you want, then press the Download button to save the file.
The tool cannot improve media quality. You can only save media in the quality that was uploaded, so choose a quality that is originally available. For example, a video can be saved in 4K only if the original file is available in 4K.
