FAQ
YouTube downloader — questions
- What video qualities are available?
- Available formats depend on the original upload. Most videos offer 1080p, 720p, and 360p. The 'Best available' option always picks the highest quality stream.
- Can I download just the audio from a YouTube video?
- Yes. After fetching the video, click 'Download Audio only' to save just the audio track as an MP4 audio file.
- Does this work with YouTube Shorts?
- Yes. YouTube Shorts are standard YouTube videos with a short URL format — they work the same way.
- Can I download private or age-restricted YouTube videos?
- No. Only public videos without access restrictions can be downloaded.
- Why does the download start in the browser instead of showing a progress bar?
- Video files can be very large — sometimes several gigabytes. The download goes directly to your browser's download manager so the full stream is handled natively, which is faster and more reliable than buffering through a progress bar.
- Is this free?
- Yes. There are no accounts, no paywalls, and no per-download fees.
