YouTube to MP4 questions.
How do I convert a YouTube video to MP4?

Can I download YouTube Shorts as MP4?
Yes. Paste a youtube.com/shorts/ link into the same converter. Shorts use the same MP4 download process as regular YouTube videos.
Do I need an account or an app?
No account on youtube-to-mp4.org or software installation is required. Use the converter in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer.
Can I download YouTube videos in 720p or 1080p?
The downloader selects the best video and audio streams YouTube makes available. A 720p or 1080p download depends on the source video and available formats; a specific resolution is not guaranteed.
Which YouTube links are supported?
You can use youtube.com/watch links, youtu.be short links, and YouTube Shorts links. The tool processes one video at a time and does not download entire playlists.
What is the maximum video length?
Videos must be 15 minutes or shorter. Longer videos are rejected before downloading.
Why is my YouTube download unavailable?
A video may be private, removed, restricted, or unavailable to the server. YouTube can also require authentication or temporarily rate limit requests. Read the error message and wait before retrying a rate-limited download.
Where is my downloaded MP4 saved?
Your browser saves the MP4 to its configured download location, usually the Downloads folder. On mobile, check your browser downloads or Files app.
Which videos can I download?
Only download videos you own or have permission to save. Respect copyright and the terms that apply to the content you access.
