A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS
YouTube Video Download FAQs
Common questions, answered simply.
Why is 1080p missing?
The choices depend on the source upload and what the download service can retrieve. An HD option cannot be created from a lower-resolution source.
Will the saved video include sound?
The video download requests both video and audio when the service can provide them. If playback is silent, try a compatible player or another available quality.
Can I save an entire playlist?
This page handles individual video links. It does not download a complete playlist or channel in one request.
Why is the file taking time to prepare?
The service may need to retrieve and combine media streams. Longer videos, higher resolutions, and service demand can increase the wait.
Can I save a private upload?
This tool does not accept your YouTube login and cannot access private videos through your account. Use YouTube’s own account tools for your private uploads.
