The best free YouTube downloader apps to use for 2024 on PC and Mac

Our list of the best free YouTube downloaders for your device

The best free YouTube downloader apps are the perfect tool for anyone who wants to watch videos offline or save them for personal use - and, most importantly, doesn't want to pay for YouTube Premium.

With that in mind, we've compiled this short list of easy-to-use apps that can help you get the most out of YouTube without needing you to open your wallet. These tools let you download and save your favorite videos free of charge, using whatever file formats you like.

The process of downloading a video from YouTube is actually surprisingly easy - it mainly involves taking the video's URL, and then simply using one of the tools below. But if you only want the audio, we do have a free YouTube to MP3 converter guide instead.

Currently, our top choice for downloading videos from YouTube is the 4K Video Downloader , which can do the job without leaving a watermark, compared to other apps. However, there are other apps that you can look into that do the same job, which we've highlighted below.

The best free YouTube downloader apps to use for 2024

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

1. 4K Video Downloader

Specifications, reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

4K Video Downloader is the best free YouTube downloader around for quick, fuss-free YouTube downloads. It's simple to use, highly customizable, and doesn't include any bundled extra software.

To grab a video (or a whole playlist, provided it's not longer than 24 videos), simply copy its URL from your web browser, click 'Paste URL' and select an output format, quality, and location. 

There's a great choice of formats – both video and audio – including MP4 and MP3. You can download captions for individual videos, and there's even support for 3D and 360-degree videos too.

Delving into the properties lets you tweak options like multi-stream downloads (increasing the number of streams will speed up downloads, but increases the risk of YouTube blocking your IP address) and set up a proxy connection.

It's worth noting that you'll need to shell out some cash if you want to use this tool's premium features, which include unlimited videos, large playlist downloads, private video downloads, and no ads. If you just want the free version of the tool, though, it's still a powerful and functional option - provided you don't mind a few ads.

2. Any Video Converter Free

At first glance, Any Video Converter Free is one of the best free YouTube downloaders out there. The only drawback is that this free version limits you to download a single video at a time, but if you're looking for a free solution, this is something you may decide you're happy to put up with.

There are lots of video formats to choose from, and there's even a basic video editor built into this YouTube downloader. This can be used to crop a video you download, add simple effects such as color adjustment, and add overlay text.

The whole process is quick and easy. Any Video Converter's interface may not be to everyone's liking, but that's really nitpicking; this is a fantastic free YouTube downloader in all other respects. Watch out for the bundled ByteFence and Yahoo software during installation, and you're good to go.

3. Free YouTube Download

There are no prizes for guessing what Free YouTube Download does. This is a very simple, tightly focused free YouTube downloader that does away with distractions to get the job done well. Paste in a URL from YouTube and you can download the video in just a couple of clicks – or no clicks at all if you enable the Auto Download option.

You can download several videos at once if you need to, and you can convert them to several different formats on the fly. Just which formats are available to you will depend on the quality of the original video, but AVI, MP4, iPhone/iPod and MKV should be available in most cases. It's also possible to convert to audio-only MP3 if you don’t need the footage as well.

There's only one real drawback, but it's a biggie – you can only use Free YouTube Download to grab clips that are less than three minutes long. That rules out most music videos for a start, and is a real shame.

4. aTube Catcher

Although the name suggests that this is just a YouTube downloader, aTube Catcher can actually save videos from most of the big video hosting sites.

First, however, a word of warning: sneaky adware abounds during the installation. When you're offered the first app, make sure to hit Cancel, and for the second one click Decline – then you'll be free to enjoy aTube Catcher without any unwanted surprises.

Downloaded videos can be converted automatically to a number of popular formats, so you can tailor them for their intended use, or whatever device you intend to watch them on. If you're looking to download a large number of videos, you can download them all at once, maxing out your bandwidth – something not available in all of the best free YouTube downloaders on this list.

This free YouTube downloader offers plenty of added extras too, such as the ability to record any on-screen video, video merging, and disc burning.

Read our full review: aTube Catcher

Is it legal to downloaded YouTube videos?

Before you use a free YouTube downloader, bear in mind that using third-party apps to download videos is against YouTube's terms of service , which say you can only stream videos directly from its servers. Since YouTube is owned by Google, this could potentially lead to your linked Google account being suspended - you've been warned.

Downloading videos is also potentially a copyright infringement unless you own the video yourself, have permission from the copyright holder, or it's in the public domain.

What's the difference between Online YouTube downloaders and desktop apps?

There are many sites that you can use to download YouTube videos, but we don't recommend them due to their disadvantages over desktop software. First of all, they're slower due to the limitations of the remote server and your data connection. Many such sites also feature ads of an.... unsavory variety, or display thumbnails of recently downloaded videos, which may not be appropriate.

Online video converters typically don't give you much (if any) choice about the video file either, in terms of quality or expert format. They only allow you to download a single video at a time, and you can forget about saving whole playlists. 3D and 360-degree videos are also out of the question, and very few can handle 4K.

How to download YouTube videos for free, plus two other methods

While the official YouTube app and website only offer downloads for a few videos in selected locations, there's a way to retrieve content so you can consume it anytime, anywhere. Several ways. in fact.

Also: YouTube on your TV gets more interactive, and you can shop, too - sort of

In this tutorial, we'll cover how you can download your favorite videos using three approaches: 

• Paying for YouTube Premium
• Using a free Mac, Windows, or Linux application
• Using an obscure and complex (yet very powerful) Linux command line tool

Your free option (and my preferred way) to download YouTube videos: ClipGrab

I have to give ZDNET's managing editor props for introducing me to this program a few years ago. I've been using it ever since. 

ClipGrab  is a free program available for Mac, Windows, and Linux users. The developer says it's open source, but the source code is only available for Linux. In any case, ClipGrab rocks. Here's how to download and use it.

1. Go to ClipGrab.org

Point your browser to  ClipGrab.org  and click the  Show All Download  Options link. You'll see download links for Mac, Windows, and Linux there. I'll show you the Mac version in this article, but the interface is virtually identical on all three.

2. Copy the YouTube video link

Copy the video link of the YouTube video(s) you wish to download. You can do this up in your browser's URL bar or by clicking the  Share  button under the video itself. 

3. Launch ClipGrab

Make sure that you're on the  Downloads  tab and then choose the  Launch ClipGrab  option. 

4. Copy and Paste 

Copy and paste the URL of the video you want to download into ClickGrab. 

5. Click Grab this clip!

Once you've copied and pasted the desired video link into the ClickGrab browser, select  Grab this clip!

Put one link of a video at a time into the top Downloads tab browser on ClickGrab. Once you're ready to download, select Grab this clip!

6. Choose the video format

On ClickGrab, you can also tweak options.

For example, you can choose the format you want the video to be in when it's stored on your computer. I generally go with Original, but I'll specify something else if that doesn't work. 

Also: How to create a playlist on the YouTube app

You can also select download resolution. Depending on the video's original resolution, you can choose to download the full resolution video or reduce the resolution to save space.

7. Customize

Finally, tapping the  Settings  tab lets you customize where ClipGrab deposits your newly downloaded videos.

Another free option (with some added-cost benefits)

ClipGrab remains my choice for easy, no-muss, no-fuss YouTube downloading. But if you want a YouTube downloader that can be upgraded into an entire power-user suite for video format conversion and management, look no further than the WinX/MacX pair of applications.

Produced by Digiarty Software -- better known by its DVD ripper software brand, WinXDVD -- WinX Video Converter (for Windows) and MacX Video Converter (for Mac) are freemium video conversion power tools. What makes them particularly interesting for this article is that the trial version (for Windows , or for Mac ) includes a YouTube downloader that's free to use indefinitely.

As a test, I downloaded a seven-minute video of one of my YouTube videos. Now, to be clear, I have a fast internet connection, but this tool was ridiculously quick. MacX Video Converter downloaded the entire video in 7.96 seconds. That's just a wow.

Also: I watched an hour-long TV show on Apple Vision Pro and it was glorious, unusual, and tiring

Do note that the trial version says it supports up to five minutes of conversion for free. That's not the downloading part. The paid-for version of these tools converts any video to MP4, HEVC, H.264, MOV, MKV, AVI, MP3, iPhone, and Android from a wide range of specialty formats. That's where the five-minute limit exists in the trial. But if you download the trial, you can download from YouTube (and also from all of these sites, see image below), for free. The only cost is putting up with a few upsell dialogs while you do so.

If you do choose to upgrade to the paid-for versions, you'll get a power-user version that compresses videos, allows you to trim videos, and allows you to add and edit subtitles. Those paid-for products range from $19.95 to $149.95, depending on the options and number of users you choose.

Your paid option: YouTube Premium

I'm a big fan of YouTube Premium because it saves my wife and me from enduring most ads , but it is a luxury expense. Individuals can subscribe to YouTube Premium for $13.99 a month (that's up $2 from what it was a few months ago). YouTube also offers a family plan for up to six users for $22.99 a month. Finally, students can subscribe to YouTube Premium for $7.99 a month (up a buck from what it was a few months ago). 

My favorite feature is a complete lack of Google-provided ads. There are no banners, no pre-roll, and no interstitial ads. However, if a YouTube channel wants to embed an ad in a video, YouTube Premium will not filter those YouTuber-embedded ads.

Also: These 3 AI tools made my two-minute how-to video way more fun and engaging

YouTube Premium provides background play and picture-in-picture, YouTube Music, and access to YouTube Originals. 

YouTube Premium also includes the ability to download videos . Here's how you do it. 

How to download YouTube videos via YouTube Premium

1. log in to your youtube premium account.

Once you've subscribed to YouTube Premium, you'll have a Download button in your web browser or your phone app to the right of the Share (arrow) icon at the bottom of a video. 

See the Download button marked by my arrows. 

2. Toggle the Download icon

Select the video(s) you want to download, and once it comes up in the main screen display, click the Download icon. 

3. Find your downloads

You can find your downloads in the Downloads area of YouTube. Notice that YouTube says that the downloads are retained as long as you have an internet connection at least once every 30 days. That way, YouTube can confirm you are still a YouTube Premium user.

Saving once downloaded 

You're not given an easy way to turn that download into a usable video file on a desktop device, so if you want to use that video for anything other than watching offline, you're somewhat out of luck. The same is true of iOS. 

Also:   Warning: Your private YouTube videos aren't 100% private

However, if you're an Android user with an SD card slot in your phone, you can set the YouTube app settings (tap your profile picture, then Settings , then Downloads ) to save videos to your SD card.

So, that's how to download videos into an only barely usable form for the low-low price of $13.99 per month. That price went up by two bucks a month, a few months ago. Because, well, streaming prices are on the rise. Special.

Linux command line options

I would be remiss (or so I've been told in the comments below, on Twitter, and in my email inbox) if I didn't mention that Linux users have a command line option (because, of course they do) to download YouTube videos. As with all-things Linux command line, there are some gray areas here, such as whether the tool even works or whether there's a better tool.

The first option in this command line hit parade is youtube-dl. You can get access to it via its own site , on GitHub , or your favorite package manager. 

Also: My 5 favorite multimedia player apps for Linux and what they can do for you

It should be noted that the GitHub repository was taken down for a while due to an allegation of DMCA violations, but GitHub later reinstated it. You can read a very interesting story about GitHub's reasoning and response. 

Some folks claim that youtube-dl is old hat and hasn't been updated in a while. There's another open-source project on GitHub, called yt-dlp , that claims to be a fork of youtube-dl with more features. I haven't tested it, so use it at your own risk.

Both youtube-dl and yt-dlp offer a very, very wide range of features if you need them. Personally, I'm going to stick with ClipGrab, because I don't have time to turn YouTube downloading into a second or third full-time job. But it's up to you.

I regularly get notes via email and socials from readers who want to use other tools. The typical story is either they saw an ad for the best downloader ever, or they have a friend/cousin/neighbor who "knows about computers" and recommended a specific tool.

I also fairly constantly get pitches from vendors who also have video downloaders. Because the core tech for video downloading is available as an open-source library, and because people tend to want to download protected videos, the video downloading software business is a bit of a cesspool of opportunistic and potentially unscrupulous vendors.

Also: The best live TV streaming services of 2024: Expert tested

Downloading otherwise protected videos is one of those gray-area categories where scammers like to play. I generally recommend you stick with the above recommendations because we've tried them, used them, and haven't experienced any negative issues.

But if you do want to follow another suggestion, keep your Spidey sense on high alert. If you land on a site with a ton of ads and popups, if it seems like there are multiple attempts to monetize the offerings, or if you're asked to give up your credit card digits, stay away.

Just... be careful. 

What happened to SaveFrom.net?

Some of you might be familiar with SaveFrom.net. This site allowed you to download from YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion (and a few other sites), merely by pasting a URL into a web page on the site. It also had a browser extension that facilitated downloads. But, highlighting the topic in our next section, SaveFrom.net has shut down its operations in the US and UK, providing this message from the UK (and an equivalent in the US):

However, one of our intrepid editors (not me) set his VPN to the Czech Republic and found that SaveFrom.net is alive and well, hiding far away from copyright laws:

Speaking of copyright laws...

Some moral, ethical, and legal considerations

Now that you know how to download YouTube videos, should you? First, do be aware that different jurisdictions have different laws. It may or may not be legal to download a given video, even if all you want to do is watch it offline.

If you want to download a video to incorporate it into something you're producing, keep in mind that some countries have the concept of Fair Use. In those jurisdictions, small clips of copyrighted media can be incorporated into your productions. But you should also remember that YouTube has algorithmic systems looking for people reusing videos, and your channel might get a strike against it for reusing media.

Also: Can't decide which streaming services to cancel? Watchworthy will help you pick

When in doubt, it's always best to ask.

So, there you go. Do you have other techniques for accomplishing the same thing? Let us know in the comments below.

• YouTube Downloader Apps

Best free YouTube downloader apps

YouTube has been around for almost two decades at this point. Naturally, plenty of users have come and gone during this time. Additionally, over the years, the platform refined its acceptable content rules and adopted a strict copyright claims system, leading to the deletion of millions of channels . In fact, if you go through one of your old playlists, you’ll almost certainly see at least one of the following errors:

• “ This video is private ”
• “ This video has been removed by the uploader ”
• “ The channel associated with this video has been terminated”
• “This video contains content from [company] , who has blocked it on copyright grounds”

Once a video is removed from YouTube, you can’t even see its title anymore. Still, its ghost remains, causing a few seconds of silence whenever you reach that spot in the playlist. You know that you liked whatever video used to be there, but can’t quite remember what it was. Worse still, there’s no way to find out – it’s simply gone.

The only way to prevent this is to download your favorite YouTube videos. This is easier than you might expect, and allows you to make a permanent archive of content that would otherwise be forgotten forever. Here’s a short list of our favorite YouTube downloader apps, and a brief description of what makes each so special:

Best YouTube downloader apps in 2024

• VideoProc Converter AI : Our first choice for saving YouTube videos. Supports up to 8K resolution and every format you can think of. Can even upscale low-quality video using AI-powered tools. Includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.
• SnapDownloader : Intuitive and powerful service that lets you try all of its features without providing any payment info. Ideal for backing up lots of videos at once.
• YTD Video Downloader : Simple, straightforward app that supports all of the most popular video-sharing sites. Free to use, with higher speeds and batch downloads if you upgrade to a paid plan.
• 4K Video Downloader : Flexible app that makes it easy to save entire YouTube playlists, extract subtitles, or automatically scrape new uploads. Allows a handful of free downloads, with no limits for paying users.
• ByClick Downloader : This app is able to backup entire YouTube channels and adds a button to every video for one-click downloading. Free for the first 24 hours, but then you’ll have to upgrade. Only available on Windows.
• Allavsoft Video and Audio Downloader : Works with YouTube, Vimeo, and many similar services. Offers a batch download feature, conversion tools, and 24/7 support. Five-minute video limit on free plans.

Criteria for the best YouTube downloader apps

There are hundreds of apps that let you download videos. That said, many are far more complex than they need to be for such a simple task. Then there are the downloaders that seem to work with every site except YouTube, or those that come bundled with adware . To make sure we only recommend the best of the best, we looked for services meeting all of these criteria:

• Can reliably download videos from YouTube and similar platforms
• Lets you convert the video to a format of your choosing (even audio-only)
• Has a free tier, money-back guarantee, or trial period
• Provides the ability to queue up multiple downloads
• Boasts a clean, simple, and novice-friendly interface
• Doesn’t ask you to install any sketchy programs during setup

The best apps for downloading YouTube videos

Here are our top YouTube video backup apps:

1. VideoProc Converter AI

( Windows, Mac )

VideoProc Converter AI is primarily a video-editing program but its downloading feature is second to none. Users can try this service for free, though you won’t be able to process videos that are longer than five minutes unless you upgrade to a paid plan. Still, we’d say this is worth doing since the app works with over 1,000 streaming sites including YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. It’s one of the few that’s able to download 8K resolution video.

You’re free to backup a single video, a playlist, or an entire channel, and there’s even a screen recorder in case you’d like to capture live streams as they’re happening. One of the interesting things about this service is that it includes AI-powered tools. These are useful for upscaling standard-definition video to 4K, restoring damaged film, or bumping the frame rate up to 60fps.

• Supports all of the main video-sharing sites including YouTube
• Exceptionally versatile
• AI video-enhancement tools
• Very easy to use
• Primarily designed for video editing

PRICE: VideoProc Converter AI has a free plan, but premium subscriptions cost $25.95 per year. These include a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free and cancel if you’re not satisfied.

2. SnapDownloader

SnapDownloader boasts a streamlined interface that’s easy to get the hang of. Users can either paste up to 100 links into the URL field or switch over to the built-in browser and find videos on any platform they like manually. This app supports 360 video, 8K resolution, and can automatically download subtitle files and separate audio. There’s even a trimming tool included so that you don’t waste time downloading silent, boring, or irrelevant parts of the video.

We’re big fans of this app’s scheduling feature . This lets you queue up URLs and choose a time for the downloads to begin. As such, you’ll be able to backup all of your content at a time when nobody else in your home needs to use the internet. SnapDownloader’s website has an FAQ section, but it’s a little sparse. Luckily, there is an email support form in case your question hasn’t been answered yet.

• Suitable for YouTube, Tiktok, and more
• Granular control over what and when you download
• Fully-featured free trial
• Downloads up to three videos simultaneously
• Website could use a few more support articles

PRICE: SnapDownloader provides a free trial with no payment info required. Afterward, you’ll have to pay $7.99 per month for access. Alternatively, annual plans cost $29.99 and lifetime licenses are $39.99. Monthly plans have a 24-hour guarantee period, and all others offer 30 days.

3. YTD Video Downloader

( Windows, Mac, Android, iOS )

YTD Video Downloader has a very simple interface, with separate tabs for downloading and converting videos. Users can just enter a URL (or several) and the app will automatically grab everything, regardless of whether the link is to a channel, playlist, or individual video. All of the most popular formats are supported, and this app works with YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo, among other platforms.

This software is free to use, but there are a few caveats. For instance, you’re subject to daily download limits, your speeds are limited, and you can’t use the batch download feature unless you upgrade. There is a seven-day free trial, so unless you’re looking to download thousands of videos, you may not even need to pay anything. If you’re having problems, you can submit a support ticket. There is also a Frequently Asked Questions section on the website, though it’s fairly sparse.

• Works on almost any device
• Novice-friendly design
• Ideal for downloading lots of videos at once
• Lengthy trial period
• Premium plans are expensive if you pay monthly

PRICE: YTD Video Downloader  is a freemium service, although to download multiple videos per day, you need a paid plan. These start at $6.99 USD per month, with annual plans costing as little as $35.88 following a seven-day trial.

4. 4K Video Downloader

( Windows, Linux, MacOS )

4K Video Downloader takes all the hassle out of backing up your favorite YouTube content. It supports YouTube shorts, playlists, and full channel archival, plus it works with your private videos provided you log in via the app’s internal browser. Naturally, other popular sites (like Twitch, BiliBili, and Facebook) are supported too.

There aren’t as many supported file formats, but all of the main ones like MKV, MP4, and OGG are accounted for. Additionally, we were pleased to see that 4K Video Downloader supports multiple languages. The site includes plenty of setup guides and tutorials, although the “contact us” link doesn’t actually do anything.

Looking for more than the free version offers? Good news: this app actually has reasonably-priced lifetime licenses . In other words, after paying a one-time fee, you can download as much as you like, forever. Paid users also unlock the multi-threading feature, allowing them to download up to three videos simultaneously.

• Expansive support section, with posts in over a dozen languages
• Can download just about anything, even videos that are set to private
• One-time payment
• Allows multiple downloads at once
• Can’t convert to as many video formats as its rivals
• No way to speak with staff as contact link broken

PRICE: You can use 4K Video Downloader for free indefinitely or unlock its full potential with a $25 lifetime pass. Alternatively, annual plans are available for $15. Each includes a two-week money-back guarantee.

5. ByClick Downloader

( Windows only )

ByClick Downloader goes the extra mile to make your life easier. The app inserts a button under every YouTube video, even if it’s embedded on another site, that lets you grab it with just one click. You can directly paste in video links, too. Whether you’re looking to backup your private videos, scrape an entire channel, or archive a Twitter feed, ByClick is up to the task.

The app can’t help you edit videos, but it can convert them to a few of the most popular formats. Additionally, users can choose whether to download a video’s subtitles or just the audio. The app supports roughly two dozen different languages, but unfortunately, the FAQ section on the website is only in English. As such, you may have to rely on translation tools to help you find answers. Users can speak with staff directly using the site’s built-in contact form.

• Easily archive full YouTube channels
• Affordable lifetime plans
• Supports many video-sharing sites
• Inconsistent multilingual support
• Only available on Windows

PRICE: ByClick Downloader has a 24-hour free trial that gives you access to all of its features. Afterward, you’ll have to pay to keep using the service. Lifetime plans cost $40 but at the time of writing, these are available at 50 percent off.

6. Allavsoft Video and Audio Downloader

Allavsoft Video and Audio Downloader might not be the prettiest service in this list, but it’s more than capable of backing up your favorite content. In fact, it claims to work with over 1,000 sites including YouTube , Spotify , and Facebook. Popular video formats like MP4, MOV, and AVI are supported, although unlike some of the tools above, Allavsoft’s maximum download quality is 4K.

In addition to its batch downloading functionality, this app comes with its own browser. This way, you can visit any site and simply grab any video you want. There’s also a screen recording feature in case you’d like to backup live streams. Allavsoft’s website doesn’t provide any support documentation or setup guides, but there is a contact form so you can get help if you need it.

• Capable of saving video from just about anywhere
• Promises to respond to support requests within 24 hours
• Good amount of customization
• More expensive that many of its competitors
• Can’t download 8K video

PRICE: Allavsoft Video and Audio Downloader has a free trial that lets you download up to five videos (provided they’re under five minutes long). Paid plans cost $19.99 per month, $29.99 per year, or $69.99 for a lifetime license. All plans include a 30-day guarantee.

Are there any other ways to download a YouTube Video?

Yes, several. However, they all come with their own disadvantages. Below, we’ll cover a few of the most common ways people download YouTube videos, and why they’re less than ideal.

Sign up for YouTube Premium

Premium only allows you to download videos at a maximum of 1080p resolution. Further, you have to check into YouTube every 30 days (and in some places, every 48 hours) or you’ll lose the ability to watch the content you’ve downloaded. Those are some pretty steep disadvantages for a service that costs $13.99 per month.

In a perfect world, YouTube would let paying subscribers freely download any video they like for offline playback. That’s not the case, though. First off, while YouTube is available just about everywhere, there are some countries that don’t have access to YouTube Premium yet.

YouTube-ripping sites

Plenty of websites can help you download content from YouTube. However, many of these only rip audio, not video. Additionally, they usually only let you process one download at a time and may add the name of the website to the resulting filename. To make matters worse, there’s no easy way to tell whether the site is providing a legitimate service or simply trying to trick you into running malware .

Finally, these sites are often taken down when they get popular. YouTube has filed multiple lawsuits against the people who operate these platforms, claiming they facilitate copyright infringement or otherwise breach YouTube’s protection measures.

Browser extensions

A quick look at your browser’s extension store will reveal dozens of addons that claim to be able to download YouTube videos. You’ll notice that the ratings seem to be all over the place, though, and on closer inspection, it seems like most have at least a few comments saying they don’t work anymore.

Let’s say you find one that seems to work. Again, there’s no way of telling whether the file you download is actually a video or just a Trojan . Further, browser extensions tend to be created by single developers or small teams. In other words, any change to YouTube’s backend is likely to result in the app being broken for quite some time.

Am I allowed to download videos from YouTube?

YouTube’s terms of service explicitly say that you are not allowed to download any content without express permission from both the platform and the copyright holder (which you are extraordinarily unlikely to get).

The biggest flaw here is when you stream a video, you’re effectively downloading a copy of it whether you intend to or not. On the plus side, as far as we’re aware, YouTube has never taken action against a user for making a copy of someone else’s video.

In fact, there are plenty of examples of prominent YouTubers who freely admit to doing this. Hbomberguy, for instance, previously covered problematic creators and mentions having archived his target’s channels ahead of time to prevent them from hiding incriminating content. Kevin Stratvert, meanwhile, has millions of subscribers as well as a video specifically explaining how to download content from YouTube. In other words, you should be just fine.

Disclaimer: We are not lawyers and nothing in this article should be considered legal advice. Please do your research.

Why would I need to download a YouTube video?

One of the most common arguments against YouTube downloaders is that they’re often used for piracy. While that may be true, there are plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons why someone may want to get their own copy of a video. Here are just a handful:

• Backing up their own content
• Archiving other people’s content for historical or research purposes
• To include sections of someone else’s video in one of your own (assuming fair use)
• To prevent the permanent loss of media that can’t be found anywhere else
• So you can watch while offline or in a country where YouTube is not available
• Checking whether a visual issue such as artifacting is included in the video itself or caused by the way YouTube renders content in a browser

Frequently Asked Questions

What video formats and resolutions can Viddly download and convert?

Viddly YouTube downloader Free Version supports any resolution up to 1080p. With Viddly Plus, you can download videos at any resolution offered by YouTube, including 4K and 8K. To ensure the smoothest possible playback, Viddly provides support for a frame rate of 24, 30, or 60 fps. For complete immersion, Viddly allows spherical 360° videos to be downloaded and converted. You might want to consider using a VR device such as Google Cardboard for optimal playback. You can convert any online video to MP4, WebM, 3GP, or AVI format. The conversion can be performed during the download or using the local file conversion feature if it is already on your hard drive.

Can I download YouTube Live Streams with Viddly?

Yes, you can! Viddly Free limits YouTube Live stream downloads to 5 minutes. Viddly Plus offers unlimited YouTube Live downloads without any restrictions whatsoever.

How can I transfer the downloaded file to my phone?

We recommend installing a cloud hosting service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive on both your computer and your phone. This way, any files downloaded to your synced folder will automatically be accessible on your phone.

Why shouldn't I use an Android or iOS app to download videos?

Google Play nor the Apple Store will ever allow any application that could potentially be used to download copyright-protected video. As such, no publisher will be able to offer a functional app. Any app that actually allows YouTube downloads would be quickly removed by the moderation team. In other words, any app you might find in the official app store is a useless decoy created with the sole purpose of displaying ads to make a quick buck. You might be able to root your iPhone or install a rogue APK on your Android phone, but doing so puts your security and privacy at risk. Virus scanners for mobile devices are not as advanced and widespread yet as for desktops, and hackers know this. Your phone is where you store your naked selfies 😅. As such, we recommend you do not take any risks and do not disable any security mechanisms on your mobile device.

Why is a desktop-based downloader superior to a web-based one?

Excellent question! In fact, there are several good reasons. First of all, because websites use server resources. Server resources are not free. To keep the lights on, the website owner needs to either limit downloads of a certain length, restrict video quality, and/or use aggressive strategies for monetization. Viddly runs on your computer, so we do not require expensive servers to power conversions. Since some of our users pay for Viddly Plus, we can feed our developers without resorting to shady tactics. To summarize why Viddly is superior to websites such as KeepVid, Y2Mate, SaveMedia, YooDownload, FlvTo, YTMP3, or Youzik: No limitations on video length or resolution Much faster when doing multiple downloads. Download entire playlists with a single click Support for subtitles and live video streams. No annoying or shady ads Better privacy controls

Is it legal to download videos from YouTube and other websites?

It is not illegal to download videos for personal use. In some cases, it might also be legal to download videos for commercial reasons, as long as those reasons are covered by fair use. You may be breaking YouTubes Terms of Service by not using the download button they provide for specific videos. Still, we have never heard of anyone being banned or getting in trouble for this. We believe that downloading content from video sharing website to watch it at another time or on a device without an Internet connection has the same purpose as timeshifting and should be considered fair use. This precedent was set in the Betamax case. As such, downloading non-copyrighted videos is entirely legal. We recommend that you always request permission from the copyright holder to download any video that is not licensed under Creative Commons.
