How it works
How to Download a YouTube Video as MP4
Copy the video link, paste it into the downloader above, check the preview, and save the MP4. It takes a few seconds and works in any modern browser.
Paste a YouTube link, get an MP4
Copy the link from the YouTube app or browser, paste it into the tool, check the preview, and save the video as an MP4 file. No app, extension, or account is needed.
Works on iPhone, Android, and desktop
The downloader runs in your browser. On a computer the MP4 goes to your Downloads folder; on iPhone it is saved in the Files app, and on Android in your browser's downloads.
Download help
From a public link to an MP4 file
Check the source, preview the video, and save the available file. No app installation is required.
Trust Signals
No login required
Use the free browser tool without entering a social account password.
Preview the result
Check the extracted video before saving the file.
Available source quality
Quality depends on the media the source exposes; downloading does not improve the original resolution.
Public posts only
Private, deleted, age-restricted, or inaccessible posts may not return a downloadable file.
Category Angles
Desktop
Paste the post link in your browser and save the MP4 to your downloads folder.
iPhone or iPad
Use a browser download, then find the saved file in Files. Preview playback alone does not save it to Photos.
