About this tool
If a device can play video at all, it can almost certainly play MP4. This tool takes the exact video stream YouTube serves, merges it with its audio and wraps both into a single .mp4 file. Because nothing is re-encoded along the way, the result looks precisely like the original and is ready in moments.
Every resolution the uploader provided is listed — from a tiny 144p for slow connections up to Full HD 1080p, plus 1440p and 4K whenever they exist. An estimated file size sits beside each option so you know what you are getting before you click.

Questions about this tool
Up to what resolution can I download?
Whatever the uploader made available, capped at 2160p. The majority of videos come in 360p, 720p and 1080p.
A video I pasted only offers 720p. Is something wrong?
No — it was simply uploaded at that resolution. The tool never upscales, so it can only list what YouTube itself has.
Is the audio included in the MP4?
Always. Video and sound are combined into one file before the download begins.
Is there a maximum video length?
Yes. Videos may be up to 2 hours long for 1080p and lower resolutions, and up to 45 minutes for 1440p and 4K.
