YouTube Video Keeper

By using YTDownloads you agree to our Terms of Service.

Save What You Love, Keep It Yours

YTDownloads turns any public YouTube video into a personal archive. Paste a link, pick your format, and download directly to your device. No account needed, no daily limits — just a straightforward tool for keeping the videos and audio you actually want to revisit offline.

Every MP4 is converted to iTunes and Apple-compatible format — H.264 video with AAC audio. Play your downloads on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and QuickTime with zero issues. Other converters skip this step and leave you with files that won't open. We take the extra time to get it right.

Whether you're saving a tutorial for a project, archiving a lecture for study, grabbing a podcast for your commute, or building a personal music library — our YouTube to MP4 downloader and YouTube to MP3 converter work instantly in your browser. No apps, no extensions, no signup.


Getting started

  1. Navigate to the YouTube video you want to keep.
  2. Copy the link from your browser address bar.
  3. Paste it into the field above and hit Start.
  4. Choose between saving the video or extracting the audio.
  5. Your file downloads automatically when processing finishes.
