YouTube downloads, done properly
8K
YouTube, up to 8K AV1, saved on your computer.
No account. No subscription. Your browser does the work — nothing goes through our servers.
A free seat is 5 downloads, 2 GB. Enough for an 8K video and a few more. No expiry.
Chrome, Brave or Edge on a computer. One-time helper: download a zip, load it in your browser, four steps, about a minute. One-click install is coming.
Up to 8K, original audio
4320p AV1 when the video has it. The original soundtrack, never an auto-dub. MKV or MP4.
Age-restricted works
Signed in to YouTube in your browser? Age-restricted videos download too. Nothing stored, nothing sent to us.
Your line, your disk
The helper runs in your browser on your connection. We never see or store the video. 8K at the speed of your line.
