YouTube Video Downloader — HD, 1080p & 4K MP4 (Free)

Free YouTube Video Downloader — HD, 1080p & 4K

Paste any YouTube link to download the video as MP4 with audio, save high-resolution streams up to 4K, or pull out the audio track for offline listening. The downloader runs in your browser — no software, no account, and no watermark on your files. It even works without an API key, so links resolve fast.

It supports every YouTube URL: youtube.com/watch?v=…, the short youtu.be/…, YouTube Shorts (youtube.com/shorts/…) and embedded youtube.com/embed/… links.

How to download a YouTube video

Copy the video URL from the address bar or the YouTube Share button.
Paste it into the box above and click Get Download Links.
Pick a format from the tabs: Video + Audio for a ready-to-play MP4, Audio Only for the soundtrack, or Video Only for high-resolution streams.
Click Download and the file saves to your device.

Available formats & quality

Video + Audio (MP4) — complete files that play anywhere. Best for most people; available up to 720p–1080p depending on the video.
Audio Only (M4A) — the audio track on its own, ideal for music, podcasts or lectures you want to hear offline.
Video Only (up to 4K) — YouTube delivers 1080p, 1440p and 4K as adaptive (DASH) streams with no built-in audio. Download the video-only stream, then merge it with an audio file in VLC or FFmpeg if you need sound at maximum resolution.

Is it safe and legal to download YouTube videos?

The tool is safe — it processes links on demand and stores nothing. Downloading for personal, offline use (a video you own, content with a download/Creative-Commons licence, or fair personal use) is widely accepted. Avoid redistributing copyrighted videos publicly and always respect creators and YouTube's Terms of Service.

Troubleshooting

Only "Video Only" available? That video's HD/4K streams are adaptive — use the Audio Only tab too and merge, or pick a lower muxed quality.
Invalid URL — make sure the link is a single video, Short or youtu.be link, not a channel or playlist page.
If a download stalls, refresh and try again — stream URLs are time-limited by YouTube.

How to Use

Frequently Asked Questions

Paste the link, click Get Download Links, and open the Video Only tab — that is where 1080p, 1440p and 4K streams appear. YouTube serves these without built-in audio, so download the Audio Only track too and merge them in VLC or FFmpeg for full-resolution video with sound.

For higher resolutions YouTube separates video and audio (adaptive DASH). When no pre-merged MP4 is offered above a certain quality, use a lower Video + Audio option, or download Video Only plus Audio Only and merge them.
