Is this tool free to use?
Yes, this YouTube downloader is completely free. There are no hidden fees, premium plans, or download limits. It will always remain free for personal and educational use.
Is it safe to use?
Absolutely. We don't store any of your data, don't require registration, and all downloads are processed securely. Files are temporarily stored during processing and immediately deleted after delivery to you.
Why can't some videos be downloaded?
Several reasons might prevent downloads:
- Age restrictions: Videos with age gates may require authentication
- Geographic restrictions: Some content is region-locked
- Copyright protection: Certain videos have enhanced DRM protection
- Private videos: Videos set to private cannot be accessed
- Live streams: Active live streams may not download correctly
Which formats are supported?
We support two primary formats:
- MP4 (Video): Download full video with audio in resolutions from 360p to 4K (2160p)
- MP3 (Audio): Extract audio-only files in bitrates from 96 kbps to 320 kbps
Do I need to install anything?
No installation is required on your end. This is a web-based tool that works directly in your browser. However, the server requires FFmpeg for MP3 extraction and video merging.
Why is my download taking so long?
Download time depends on several factors:
- Video length (longer videos take more time)
- Selected quality (4K takes longer than 360p)
- Server load and your internet connection speed
- YouTube's server response time
Can I download playlists?
Currently, playlist downloads are not supported. You'll need to download videos one at a time by pasting individual video URLs.
