YouTube to MP4 Downloader

Paste a YouTube video or Shorts link below. YouTube downloads run on a partner site, so we copy your link and open that site in a new tab, where you can save the video as MP4 or MP3.

Paste a link from Instagram, X, Facebook, Vimeo, Pinterest and more.

What You Can Save

Tips for YouTube

  • YouTube doesn’t let our server fetch its videos, so YouTube links open on a separate partner site that we don’t run.
  • Qualities, formats and limits for YouTube are set by the partner site, not by us.
  • For Instagram, X, Facebook, Vimeo and the other supported sites, downloads run right here, with every quality, trimming and subtitles.

FAQ

YouTube Downloader FAQ

Why do YouTube downloads open on another site?

YouTube doesn’t allow our server to fetch its videos. Instead of showing an error, the downloader copies your link and opens a partner site that handles YouTube, where you paste it.

Is the partner site part of The Media Downloader?

No. It’s a separate service with its own rules and privacy policy. We don’t send your link there. You paste it yourself.

Can you download YouTube videos in 4K?

Not through this site. The qualities available for YouTube depend on the partner site. For the other supported sites, the downloader here lists every quality the uploader published, up to 4K.

Can you download YouTube Shorts?

Yes, the same way as other YouTube videos. Paste the Shorts link, and it opens on the partner site.

Which sites download directly here?

Instagram, X, Facebook, Vimeo, Twitch, Pinterest, Kick, SoundCloud, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Bilibili, Streamable and more. The Supported Sites page has the full list.

Paste a Link. Pick a Quality. Done.

No account, no app and no extension. Your next download is one paste away.
