Free online YouTube downloader

ytdownloader.online is a free tool for downloading YouTube videos and music. This server supports MP4 video up to 1080p and 60 minutes, or audio as MP3. A free cloud option opens YT-API.org for MP4 up to 720p or MP3, subject to the provider’s availability and limits. There is nothing to install and no account to create — it works right in your browser on desktop and mobile.

How to download a YouTube video

  1. Copy the video link from YouTube (the Share button, or the address bar).
  2. Paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Get video.
  3. Pick a quality for MP4, or open the Audio (MP3) tab for music.
  4. The file downloads straight to your device when it is ready.

If this server cannot retrieve the video, use the free cloud option and choose MP4 or MP3. The provider opens in a new tab and may show ads or open advertising tabs.
