Download a video from YouTube
Three steps, and every shape of YouTube link works.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
How it works
- 1
Get the address
From the browser bar, or Share → Copy link in the app.
- 2
Paste and convert
The title, length and available formats appear in a second or two.
- 3
Pick the quality
Higher resolution, bigger file. 360p for a phone, 1080p when detail matters.
Links that work
Watch addresses, youtu.be short links, Shorts, embeds and music.youtube.com all resolve to the same video. A playlist id or a timestamp on the end is ignored.
When it will not work
Private and members-only videos need a sign-in we do not have. Live streams are refused until the broadcast ends, because there is no finished file yet. And YouTube occasionally refuses a request outright — trying again shortly usually works.
File sizes
Roughly, one minute runs 8–12 MB at 1080p, 4–6 MB at 720p and 1.5–2 MB at 360p. On a metered connection, take the lowest resolution you can live with: a phone screen hides the difference between 360p and 1080p more than people expect.

Frequently asked questions
Does this work on an iPhone?
Yes. Use Safari or Chrome as normal; the file appears in Files under Downloads.
Can I download a whole playlist at once?
A playlist link lists up to 50 videos to pick from, one at a time. There is no bulk mode: fetching dozens of files in parallel is what gets a site like this blocked, and the block lands on everyone using it.
Does it cost anything?
No. No charge, no account, and no limit beyond two conversions running at once.
Why did my download fail halfway?
Usually the source refused the request partway through. Start it again — it is nearly always fine the second time.
