Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about downloading YouTube videos and audio.
Is it legal to download YouTube videos?
Downloading is generally fine for personal use, offline viewing, or content you own or have permission to use. Always respect the original creator's copyright and YouTube's terms of service — don't redistribute or monetize downloaded content without permission.
Can I download YouTube videos without an app?
Yes. This tool works entirely in your browser — no app, extension, or software install required. Paste the link, choose a format, and download.
How do I download a YouTube video to my phone?
Open this page on your phone's browser, paste the video link, tap Detect, choose your quality, then tap Download. The video saves to your device's default download folder or gallery, depending on your browser settings.
Can I convert YouTube videos to MP3?
Yes. Select the "Audio MP3" format option after pasting your link, and you'll get just the audio track instead of the full video.
Does YouTube downloading reduce video quality?
No — you choose the exact resolution (1080p, 720p, 480p, or 360p), and the download preserves that quality with no extra compression from our side.
Is there a limit to how many YouTube videos I can download?
No daily limit. Download as many videos as you need, completely free.
Can I download YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Paste a YouTube Shorts link the same way you would a regular video link, and it will detect and process it normally.
Do I need a YouTube account to download videos?
No account or sign-in required on our end or on YouTube's. Public videos only.
What video formats are supported?
MP4 for video (in multiple resolutions) and MP3 for audio-only downloads.
Why did my download fail or show an error?
This usually happens if the video is private, age-restricted, region-locked, or the link is malformed. Double-check the URL is a public YouTube video and try again.
