How YTDownload works

A transparent look at each step, from pasting a permitted YouTube link to receiving your temporary file.

Try YTDownload →

1. Check the video

Paste a public YouTube URL. We find the title, thumbnail, duration and available picture qualities so you can review them before continuing.

2. Choose the output

Select an available MP4 resolution or choose MP3 audio at 128, 192 or 320 kbps. The exact video choices come from the source.

3. Prepare your choice

You can follow the progress while your chosen file is prepared. Longer videos and higher quality options naturally take more time.

4. Download once

When the file is ready, use the download button to save it. The temporary copy is removed after it has been delivered.

Helpful things to remember

YTDownload gives you a simple way to check a YouTube video before choosing an MP4 or MP3 download. Instead of guessing which picture quality is available, you can review the choices first and select the one that suits your device.

The service works in a modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. There is no separate application to install, and each completed file is available through a one-time download link.
