Why are some resolutions missing?

Because the channel never uploaded them. YouTube can only offer what it was given, so a video published at 720p has no 1080p version to download.

Will the download have sound?

Yes. YouTube stores its highest qualities as separate video and audio tracks, which is why videos saved the careless way often come out silent. Only the combined versions are listed here.

Can I download a private or paid video?

No. This page reaches what YouTube already serves publicly; anything behind a sign-in, a purchase or a membership is not that.

Do I need an account or an app?

No. There is nothing to sign in to and nothing to install.

Can I save just the audio?

Where YouTube publishes a separate audio track for a video, it is listed alongside the video rows and can be saved on its own.

What am I allowed to do with the file?

It is someone else’s work. Keeping a copy for yourself is one thing; re-uploading it is another, and that needs the permission of whoever made it. YouTube’s own terms also apply to how you use it.

YouTube Video Downloader

Paste a YouTube link and save the video as an MP4. Every resolution the video was published in is listed, so you can take the smallest file that still looks right rather than the largest one going.

Putting videos on YouTube yourself?

This tool saves media that is already public. You are responsible for how you use what you save — respect the rights of the person who made it, and get their permission before reposting. If something here infringes your copyright, email support@flowfame.com and we will remove access to it.

YouTube resolutions and formats

360p: 640 × 360. Small and quick, and enough for a phone screen held at arm’s length.
720p: 1280 × 720, the format most videos are still watched in.
1080p: 1920 × 1080, full HD, and the highest resolution most channels publish in.
1440p and 2160p: Offered only when the channel uploaded at that quality. Most do not, so most videos stop at 1080p.
Container: MP4, which every phone, browser and editor opens without anything extra installed.
Sound: Included. YouTube serves high resolutions as separate video and audio streams, so this page offers the combined versions rather than a silent file.

How to download a YouTube video

Copy the link from the address bar, or use Share then Copy link in the app. Both forms work, and so does a youtu.be short link.
Paste it above and press the button. Each available resolution appears as its own row with its file size.
Pick a resolution and save it. Larger numbers mean a sharper picture and a bigger file — 1080p is usually the sensible stopping point on a phone.
