What Our YouTube Video Downloader Does Better

Get the Quality You Actually Want

Get the Quality You Actually Want

Ever tried downloading a YouTube video and got stuck with 360p? Not here. Our YouTube video downloader shows you every quality option that actually exists:

What's really available:

  • Most videos: 1080p or 720p (that's what people upload)
  • Growing number: 4K (especially tech channels)
  • Pretty rare: 8K (mostly demos and nature docs)
  • Always there: 480p, 360p, 240p (for saving data)

We can't magically create 4K from a 720p upload - but we'll get you the best version that exists. Download YouTube to MP4 for best compatibility, or WebM if you need smaller files.

Turn YouTube Videos into Music Files

Turn YouTube Videos into Music Files

Sometimes you just want the song, not the video. This YouTube to MP4 and MP3 converter gets it:

  • MP3 - Yeah, it's old school but plays anywhere (choose 320kbps if you care about quality, 128kbps if you just need it small)
  • OPUS - What YouTube actually uses internally - sounds better than MP3 at half the size (try 128kbps)
  • AAC - Your AirPods will love this one (256kbps is perfect)
  • FLAC - For the "I can totally hear the difference" crowd (warning: huge files)

Most people? They pick MP3 at 192kbps and call it a day.

It Actually Works Fast (No, Really)

It Actually Works Fast (No, Really)

Look, every YouTube video downloader claims to be fast. Here's what actually happens with ours:

  1. You paste the link
  2. You see the options immediately (no "analyzing" spinner)
  3. You click download
  4. It starts. Like, actually starts downloading
  5. A 60-minute video in 1080p? Maybe 15 seconds

No fake progress bars crawling to 99% then freezing. No "premium users get priority" BS. The download just... works.
