YouTube downloader
Paste a link, pick a format and quality, and download. For videos you own, have permission for, or that are Creative Commons or public domain — see the notice below before you start.
Sign in to use the downloader
The download and conversion run on a server, so there is a free account in front of it to keep the endpoint from being scraped. It takes a few seconds and there is no paywall behind it.
Multiple formats
MP4 or WebM video, MP3 or M4A audio-only — only the qualities that exist for that video are offered.
No watermark
The file you get is the file — no stamp, no trial banner.
For lawful use
Your own videos, licensed content, or Creative Commons / public domain. Confirmed and recorded on every download.
Questions
- What videos can I download?
- Only ones you have the right to: your own uploads, content you have explicit permission to use, or videos licensed under Creative Commons or in the public domain. You confirm which applies before every download, and that confirmation is recorded — this tool is not a way to get copyrighted videos you don't otherwise have rights to.
- What formats and qualities are available?
- MP4 or WebM up to 1080p (only the qualities that actually exist for that video are shown), or audio-only as MP3 (192kbps) or M4A at its original quality.
- Is there a watermark or a length limit?
- No watermark. Videos longer than 3 hours aren't supported — that's a limit on how long the server can reasonably spend on one request, not a nudge toward a paid plan.
- Why do I need an account?
- The download and any format conversion run on a server we pay for, and an open endpoint would be free compute for anyone who found it. Signing in is what tells us a request came from a person.
