Frequently Asked Questions

How do I download a YouTube video as MP4?

  1. Copy the URL of the YouTube video you want.
  2. Paste the link into the search box on our homepage.
  3. Select MP4 as your output format and choose a quality/resolution.
  4. Click "Convert" and download the file once it's ready.

What video quality options are available?

Depending on the source video, you can typically choose from resolutions such as 360p, 480p, 720p (HD), and 1080p (Full HD). Availability depends on the original upload quality on YouTube.

Is it legal to download YouTube videos?

Downloading videos may be subject to YouTube's Terms of Service and copyright law in your country. YTMP4 is intended for downloading content you own the rights to, content in the public domain, or content you have explicit permission to download (e.g., Creative Commons videos). We do not host or store any copyrighted material ourselves.

Is YTMP4 safe to use?

Yes. YTMP4 doesn't require downloading any software, browser extensions, or account credentials. We recommend using an ad blocker for a smoother experience, as third-party ad networks are outside our control.

Why can't I download this one specific video?

Usually because it's private, age-restricted, or region-locked by the uploader. If a video isn't watchable without logging into YouTube, it can't be converted here either.

Why is my download slow or not starting?

This can happen due to high server traffic, a slow internet connection, or an unusually long video. Try refreshing the page, checking your connection, or attempting the download again after a few minutes.

Why did my conversion fail?

Conversion failures are usually caused by an invalid or private video link, a region-restricted video, or temporary server load. Double-check that the video is public and the link is correct, then try again.

Do you store the videos I convert?

No. Files are generated on demand and are not permanently stored on our servers. Converted files are typically removed automatically after a short period.
