Something not working?

ProblemWhat to try
The link won't load Check that the video is public and still on YouTube. Private, members-only, age-restricted and live videos can't be processed.
1080p or 4K is missing Only the qualities the uploader published are listed. A higher resolution can't be created from a lower one.
It stays on "Preparing" Long or high-quality videos are prepared on our server first. Try a lower quality, or a shorter video (limit: 2 hours).
The file won't play 1440p and 4K files use VP9 or AV1 video. Open them in VLC, or download 1080p or lower.
I can't find the file Check your browser's Downloads list. On iPhone or iPad, open the Files app and look in Downloads.
"Too many requests" There is a fair-use limit per hour to keep the service fast for everyone. Wait a few minutes and try again.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between MP3 and M4A?

MP3 plays everywhere. M4A is the audio YouTube already stores, so it is ready sooner and is not converted again. Choose M4A for the best quality and MP3 for the widest compatibility.

Which bitrate should I choose?

YouTube audio is roughly 128 to 160 kbps, so 128 kbps MP3 keeps nearly everything and 192 kbps adds a little headroom. A higher number cannot add detail that is not in the source.

Can I download a whole playlist?

Not yet. Paste one video link at a time.
