YouTube video downloader

Download YouTube videos and Shorts on Android

Watch on YouTube in Dynamic Browser and tap the Download button on the player. The sheet shows every quality with its real file size the moment it opens, because it reads the formats the watch page already received.

  • Up to 4K
  • Shorts
  • MP3 192 kbps
  • Exact sizes

What you get on YouTube

  • Sizes at once

    Formats come from the watch page itself, so the sheet lists exact sizes without waiting for a second lookup.

  • Every quality

    Every quality YouTube offers for the video, up to 4K. SDR comes before HDR and files with sound before silent copies.

  • One finished file

    YouTube serves HD picture and sound separately; the app joins them into one MP4.

  • Music as MP3

    “Audio only · MP3” saves the sound at 192 kbps; the M4A track is offered too.

Videos, Shorts and embedded players

The Download button appears on watch pages, on Shorts and on YouTube players embedded in other websites. You can also paste a youtube.com or youtu.be link with “Paste link” and download it without opening the page.

Saving from this site is part of the Dynamic Browser APK offered here; the Google Play edition does not download from it.

Why it starts quickly

After the sheet opens, the download engine already prepares its connections to YouTube’s file server, and the transfer itself runs over several connections. If a link expires while you were choosing, the app refreshes it and the same file continues.

Videos that cannot be saved

Private videos, members-only videos, age-restricted videos you are not signed in for, region-locked videos and anything protected with DRM (such as YouTube Movies) are not offered. When YouTube asks to confirm you are not a bot, the sheet says so in plain words.
