How long are files stored?

Completed files are temporary and single-use. The temporary copy is removed after it is delivered to your browser.

Only download content you own, content in the public domain, or content you have permission or a legal right to use.

Helpful things to remember

These answers cover the most common questions about downloading permitted YouTube videos as MP4 files and saving audio as MP3. Available picture quality depends on the original video, so the choices can differ from one link to another.

If a link does not work, confirm that the video is public and available in your location. You can also visit the troubleshooting guide for practical steps covering unavailable videos, interrupted downloads and missing quality options.
