How do I download YouTube videos online?

Copy a public YouTube video or Shorts URL, paste it into YTD.APP, parse the source, choose an available MP4 quality, and download the file in your browser.

Can I download YouTube videos as MP4?

Yes. YTD.APP shows available MP4 video formats when the source provides them. For audio-only intent, use the YouTube to MP3 page.

Can I download YouTube videos in 1080p or 4K?

Yes, when the original YouTube source provides those qualities. 1080p, 2K, and 4K require Pro credits or purchased credits.

Can I download YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Public YouTube Shorts can be parsed like regular YouTube videos when the source is available.

Is this YouTube downloader free?

New accounts can use trial credits for standard 720p downloads. HD, 4K, premium audio, transcript extraction, and AI tools use Pro or purchased credits.

Is this YouTube video downloader safe?

YTD.APP runs in a browser, does not ask for your YouTube password, and processes public URLs only. Do not paste private or sensitive links.

How is YTD.APP different from basic YouTube downloaders?

Basic downloaders usually stop after saving a file. YTD.APP lets you continue from the same source into transcripts, AI summaries, outlines, scripts, and workspace projects.

Can I continue to transcript or AI summary after downloading?

Yes. After parsing a supported source, you can extract a transcript, generate an AI summary, draft scripts, or save the project to workspace.

Can I use downloaded YouTube videos commercially?

Only download or reuse content you own, have permission to use, or that is licensed for your intended use.
