YouTube to MP4: Keep the Video

Sometimes the picture matters. A recipe demo, a workout, or a class recording is only useful with the video, and that is where MP4 comes in. It stores both image and sound in a single file that plays on almost any device.

How to convert a video to MP4

  1. Copy the video link and paste it into the converter on the homepage.
  2. Confirm the title and channel that appear match the video you meant to save.
  3. Choose MP4 and pick a resolution such as 360p, 720p, or 1080p.
  4. Download the file and open it in your phone or computer video player.

Choosing a resolution

Higher resolutions look sharper but take much more space. 360p is enough for a quick reference on a phone, 720p is a good balance for most screens, and 1080p is worth the size only on a large display.

MP4 plays almost anywhere

MP4 with H.264 video is the most widely supported combination, working on Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS, and most smart TVs. That makes it a safe choice when you are not sure what device will play the file. On a phone, Tubidy shows the same kinds of results in a mobile layout.

Video files are large

A ten-minute MP4 can be many times the size of the same audio as MP3. If you only need the sound, convert to MP3 instead and save both space and download time.

The steps above run on the YTMP3 converter on the homepage, where you search by keyword or paste a link and download the finished file.

Save video only when you have permission or another valid legal basis, and never re-upload someone else's work as your own.
