Is the YouTube video downloader free?

Yes. The downloader is free to use and does not require an account or credit card. Normal use is unlimited, though automated abuse may be limited.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Open the page in a mobile browser, paste the YouTube link, and download the file when processing is complete.

How is this different from YouTube to MP4?

The downloader page serves broad video-download intent. The YouTube to MP4 page is the more specific choice when you know you want an MP4 file.

Can I choose MP4, MP3, or captions here?

This page is for video files. Use YouTube to MP3 for audio, YouTube Subtitle Downloader for SRT/VTT/TXT captions, or YouTube Summary when you only need the main ideas.

Why did a video fail to download?

Some videos cannot be processed because they are private, deleted, age-restricted, region-restricted, unavailable, or blocked by the source platform.

Can I download a full playlist?

This page processes one video URL at a time. For playlists, copy and download each video URL separately.

Does Sceneform store downloaded videos?

No. Processed files are temporary and are deleted after conversion.

What can I use downloaded videos for?

Use downloaded videos only in ways you are allowed to. The downloader is useful for offline review, research, creator references, study, and videos you own or have permission to save.
