YTMP3 turns a YouTube link into an MP4 video file you can keep and watch offline. Paste the address, press Convert, and a moment later the video downloads to your device, no account and nothing to install. This page explains how the MP4 side works and how to get a clean save every time.
A YouTube to MP4 downloader without the clutter
MP4 is the video format that plays almost everywhere: phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and every common media player and editor. When you want the whole video, picture and sound together, rather than just the audio, MP4 is the file to reach for. YTMP3 saves it for you straight from the browser, with one field, one button, and one real download at the end.
There is nothing to install and nothing to update. It works the same on Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone, and there is no sign up, no email, and no wall of ads between you and your file.
How to download a YouTube video as MP4
Three quick steps, usually done in well under a minute.
- Copy the link to the YouTube video you want. On a phone, tap Share then Copy Link; on a computer, copy it from the address bar.
- Paste it into the box above. Leave the format on MP4 and press Convert.
- Wait a few seconds, then press Download MP4. The video saves to your usual downloads folder, ready to watch offline or move to another device.
Ask for the same video again soon after and it is ready almost at once, because a copy is held for a short while. A short clip returns in seconds; a longer video takes a bit more, since there is more to process.
Video resolution
YTMP3 saves videos in 720p HD, a resolution that looks sharp on phones, tablets, and laptops while keeping the file a sensible size to download and store. As with audio, the tool can only give you what the original upload offers: if a video was posted in a lower resolution, that is the ceiling, and 720p simply avoids adding any loss of its own.
What you can convert
YTMP3 handles standard YouTube videos up to 90 minutes long for MP4, which covers the vast majority of clips, music videos, and shorter shows. Live streams and age restricted videos cannot be saved, because their streams are not available to pull cleanly. If you need longer videos or a higher resolution, our main site EzConv goes further.
Please save only videos you have the right to keep, such as your own uploads, material that is free to share, or content for personal use. Respecting creators is what keeps free tools like this one online.

Yes. Every MP4 download is free, with no daily limit and no countdown. The coffee button is optional and the only paid thing on the site.
What resolution do I get?
Videos save in 720p HD when the original supports it, which looks sharp on most screens and keeps the file easy to download and store.
I only want the audio. Can I do that?
Yes. Switch the format dropdown to MP3, or use our YouTube to MP3 page, to save just the sound.
Does it work on my phone?
