Question 1

Is this YouTube downloader free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — pasting a link and downloading it as MP3 or MP4 is completely free, with no sign-up, no software install, and no watermark on the result.

Question 2

Is it legal to download YouTube videos this way?

Accepted Answer

Only convert videos you own the rights to, or that are otherwise licensed for download and reuse (e.g. Creative Commons, or your own channel's content). Downloading copyrighted videos without permission can violate YouTube's Terms of Service and copyright law — this tool doesn't grant any rights to content you don't already have.

Question 3

Why did my conversion fail?

Accepted Answer

A few reasons: the video is private, age-restricted, a live stream, or longer than the length limit this tool enforces to keep conversions fast for everyone. Public, non-live videos work best.

Question 4

Why is MP4 capped at 1080p?

Accepted Answer

It keeps download and conversion time predictable — most YouTube videos look great at 1080p, and it avoids very large, slow downloads.

Question 5

Is my link or the video stored anywhere?

Accepted Answer

The converted file is deleted from our server automatically within an hour. We don't keep a record of what you converted.
