YTMP3 also downloads YouTube videos as MP4 files you can keep and watch offline. Paste the link, press Convert, and the video saves to your device, with no account and nothing to install. This page covers how the MP4 side works and how to get a clean download every time.
Download YouTube videos as MP4
MP4 plays almost everywhere: phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and every common player and editor. When you want the whole video, picture and sound together, rather than just the audio, MP4 is the file to grab. YTMP3 saves it straight from your browser, with one field, one button, and one real download at the end.
Nothing to install, nothing to update. It behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone, with no sign up and no wall of ads in the way.
How to download a YouTube video as MP4
Three quick steps.
- Copy the link to the YouTube video, from Share on a phone or the address bar on a computer.
- Paste it into the box above, leave the format on MP4, and press Convert.
- Wait a few seconds, then press Download MP4. The video lands in your downloads folder, ready to watch offline or move to another device.
Video resolution
YTMP3 saves videos in 720p HD, which looks sharp on phones, tablets, and laptops while keeping the file a sensible size to download and store. As with audio, the tool can only give you what the upload offers: if a video was posted at a lower resolution, that is the ceiling, and 720p just avoids adding any loss of its own.
What you can convert
YTMP3 handles standard YouTube videos up to 90 minutes long for MP4, which covers most clips, music videos, and shorter shows. Live streams and age restricted videos cannot be saved, since their streams are not available to pull cleanly. For longer videos or a higher resolution, our main site YTMP3.biz goes further.
If a download does not work, check that the video plays normally and is not a live stream or age restricted, paste the link again, and press Convert once more.
MP4 or MP3: which one do you need?
Pick MP4 when you want to watch: tutorials, music videos, talks, and anything where the picture matters. Pick MP3 when you only need to listen, since the files are far smaller. Our YouTube to MP3 converter saves audio only, for videos up to four hours long.
Use it responsibly

Copyright rules differ from country to country, and YouTube's own terms limit downloading without permission, so what you save is your responsibility. See our DMCA and copyright page for more. Respecting creators keeps free tools like this one online.
