Quality & Format Choices for YouTube Saves

Pick MP4 for universal playback. WebM may appear for some sources and plays best in modern browsers.
Audio — MP3/M4A
Grab lectures, podcasts, or music as lightweight audio for offline listening.
Note: Availability (720p, 1080p, 4K) depends on what the uploader provides. If a stream doesn’t exist, no tool can create it.
Pro Tips for Faster, Cleaner Downloads
If no quality options appear
Verify the link and visibility, then refresh. Some creators don’t publish separate HD tracks—when they don’t, higher options won’t show.
Saving space on mobile
On limited storage or data, 720p balances clarity and size. If you only need sound, choose MP3.
Handling private or age-restricted videos
Respect rights and permissions. If you have access, sign in on YouTube first, then copy the public watch link.
Secure Saving with Responsible Use
Your files stay yours. We don’t add watermarks or bundle installers—just a simple YouTube video downloader online flow. Use the tool wisely and store only the content you have permission to keep.
