FAQ

Why does 1080p require a plan?

YouTube keeps video and audio as separate streams — 720p included — and we merge them on our server. Files in 1080p and above are several times heavier than 720p, so 1080p is available from the Lite plan, 2K from Pro and 4K from Max.

Can I download Shorts?

Yes. Paste a link like youtube.com/shorts/… — it works just like a regular video.

How do I download only the music?

After the search, pick MP3 in the “Audio” block — we extract the audio track at 192 kbps. Audio is available on paid plans (Lite from $1.99/mo); you get 2 days of Pro when you sign up.

Can I download subtitles?

Yes, from the Lite plan. After the search the video card shows a “Subtitles” block with the author’s tracks and the automatic speech-recognition track. Each one downloads as SRT, VTT or TXT and does not count toward the daily download limit. On the free plan the block is shown with a lock. YouTube does not serve machine-translated subtitles to third-party servers, so they are not listed.

Is the service free?

Yes. The free plan gives you up to 720p, 3 downloads a day without an account and 5 with one. Paid plans unlock 1080p, 2K, 4K, more downloads and full speed.

Do I need an account?

Not for basic downloads. Signing up with your email takes 20 seconds and gives you 2 days of the Pro plan as a gift, no card needed.

What is the maximum quality?

Up to 4K (2160p) on Max, 2K on Pro, 1080p on Lite and 720p for free. It depends on the source video.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes: iPhone, Android and tablets. The file goes to Downloads; on iPhone you can move it to Photos via Share → Save Video.
