A free YouTube downloader that works online
This YouTube video downloader runs online, in your browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing to pay. Use it to save a YouTube video before a flight, a class or a trip with weak signal. It handles normal videos, Shorts and finished live streams.
No waiting for a conversion
Most YouTube downloaders process the whole video on their server before you get anything, which can take minutes for long videos. Our YT downloader streams the file to you while it's being prepared. A 10 minute 1080p video starts within a few seconds, and you see it in your browser's downloads straight away.
Choosing a size
- 1080p for a computer, a TV or anything you'll edit.
- 720p for phones. It looks sharp on a small screen and takes about half the space of 1080p.
- 480p or 360p when your data is limited or your storage is nearly full.
Each option shows its file size, so you know what you're getting before you tap.
Where the video goes
On Android and on computers, the MP4 lands in your Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad it goes to the Files app, and from there you can save it to Photos. The how to download guide walks through each device step by step. Saving a Short? The Shorts downloader keeps it vertical.
Videos we can't download
- Live streams that haven't ended yet
- Private, members-only and age-restricted videos
- Videos longer than 120 minutes (HD stops at 60 minutes)
Private by design
We don't ask who you are and you never need an account. Videos go from YouTube's stream to your device without being saved on our server.
