Copy the link in the app (Share → Copy link) or from the browser's address bar, paste it into the field at the top of the page and pick a quality — the MP4 or MP3 file is saved to Downloads. No app or sign-up needed.
Open the video on YouTube and copy the address from the browser bar, or use “Share → Copy link” in the app. Make sure the uploader published it in the resolution you want: the player settings (gear → “Quality”) should list 1080p, 1440p or 2160p.
Within a couple of seconds Skachok lists every resolution the video has — from 144p to 2160p, marked 60 fps where available. Everything up to and including 720p is free.
1080p needs the Lite plan, 1440p needs Pro, 2160p needs Max. We fetch the video stream and the audio, merge them into a single MP4 and hand you the finished file in Downloads on your phone or computer.

“Download a YouTube video in 1080p” sounds simple, yet most sites stop at 720p and hand out anything above it either without sound or not at all. The reason lies in how YouTube itself works: video and audio are stored as separate streams, and the ready file with sound that 720p used to have is no longer served, so there is no single file to “just grab”. Skachok solves this on the server: it fetches both streams, merges them and delivers one MP4 with sound that keeps the original resolution and frame rate — 60 fps stays 60 fps. That is how you download YouTube in Full HD 1080p, 2K (1440p) and 4K (2160p), provided the uploader published the video in that quality. What the video actually offers is shown right after you click “Find”.
The free Skachok plan covers everything up to 720p — 5 downloads a day with an account and 3 without one, up to 3 links at a time and a short 8-second timer. Merging streams costs server resources, so the higher resolutions belong to the paid plans: YouTube 1080p downloads on Lite at $1.99/mo, 1440p on Pro at $3.99, and 4K YouTube downloads on Max at $5.99. When you sign up you get 2 days of Pro for free and can see what Full HD and 2K look like before paying. There are no hidden catches like “only the first 5 minutes”: the whole video downloads, in the same resolution you see on the site.
Why bother with 1080p and above? For editing — so a clip you cut out doesn’t look blurry next to your own footage. For watching on a TV or a large monitor, where 720p visibly loses detail. For archiving, in case the video gets taken down. Skachok works without programs or extensions: open the site on your phone or computer, paste the link, choose a quality. Files are not stored on our side — the video is assembled on your request and handed straight to you. If you need a 4K YouTube video in MP4, or simply want to download YouTube in high quality without fiddling with separate tracks, this is the shortest route. One thing to know: YouTube stores 2K and 4K only in the VP9 and AV1 codecs, so such a file is best opened in VLC or a browser, and Movies & TV on Windows needs the free VP9 and AV1 extensions from the Microsoft Store; 1080p comes in H.264 and plays everywhere. Regular videos, Shorts and playlists (on Pro and Max) are all handled the same way.
YouTube keeps picture without sound and sound without picture as separate streams, and we merge them into one file on our server — 720p included. But a 1080p file is usually about three times heavier than 720p, and 4K several times heavier again, so those files put real load on the server. So 720p is free and 1080p starts with the Lite plan at $1.99/mo.
2160p (4K) is on Max at $5.99/mo, 1440p (2K) on Pro at $3.99, 1080p on Lite at $1.99. Signing up gives you 2 days of Pro for free, so you can try 1080p and 2K first.
Yes. If the video was uploaded at 1080p60 or 2160p60, we take exactly that stream — the frame rate is not cut down to 30.
Precisely because of the separate streams: many services hand you the “bare” video and leave the merging to you. Skachok merges the streams itself — the file has both picture and sound from the start.
Then the video doesn’t exist on YouTube in that resolution: the uploader published it at a lower quality, or it was just posted and the higher resolutions are still processing. We show only the variants that actually exist.
It depends on the video’s bitrate. As an example we checked a 3.5-minute clip: its 1080p (H.264) video stream is about 77 MB, in 4K it is 230 MB in AV1 and 340 MB in VP9, and the sound adds another 3 MB. Ten minutes in 1080p is usually 150–300 MB, in 4K from 600 MB to a gigabyte or more. Before downloading 4K, make sure there is enough space on your device.
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.
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.
Up to 4K (2160p) on Max, 2K on Pro, 1080p on Lite and 720p for free. It depends on the source video.
Yes: iPhone, Android and tablets. The file goes to Downloads; on iPhone you can move it to Photos via Share → Save Video.
