Safety & Troubleshooting
Most YouTube to MP4 download issues are quick to fix. Start with a public watch, Shorts, or youtu.be link, keep a stable connection while the file prepares, and only save videos you have permission to keep offline.
YouTube to MP4 download tips
Paste a full watch, Shorts, or youtu.be URL — not a channel or search page. After Load video, use Download YouTube Video and keep the tab open until the MP4 starts saving.
Check the video link
Confirm the URL opens on YouTube and is public. Private, members-only, age-gated, or region-restricted clips often fail by design.
Use a stable connection
Prefer Wi‑Fi for longer videos so the YouTube to MP4 download does not stall on mobile data.
iPhone Files app
On iPhone, downloaded videos often land in Downloads inside the Files app rather than Photos. Check Files if the clip does not appear in your camera roll.
Try another browser
If downloads are blocked, switch to Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox and load the video again.
Safety & legal use
Only download videos you own, have licensed, or otherwise have permission to keep. Respect creator copyright and YouTube’s Terms of Service — do not use this tool for piracy or unauthorized redistribution.
