There are many options to download videos from YouTube hosting. But all of them can be combined in three ways.
YouTube is known to be the largest video hosting service. On this site you can find not only popular movies and music videos, but also unique (often very "hilarious") recordings from the users themselves. But often the video is such that it is simply a sin not to save it on your computer. You never know, will they suddenly remove or will not have access to the Internet? In this article, we will provide ways on how to download YouTube videos for free.
1. Programs
Another service providing the same services is KissYouTube... The principle of operation is the same - write after "www." the word "kiss".
The link will look like this: http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=u59JBUv7L3M. The only drawback of these services is that they are unable to download videos from YouTube in 1080p quality.
P.S. Kesh
There is, of course, another way to fish YouTube videos. But we didn’t put it in the "super-three" because it is too difficult. This is the browser cache. In theory, any video you watch is stored on your computer for some time. But it is not stored for long, and it is broken in parts. Thus, we can specifically not download anything, since it is already on the PC. Another question is where is it? If a little time has passed after viewing, you can rummage in the browser cache.
Greetings, dear readers! 🙋🏻
In this article you will find the answer to a frequently asked question: how to download a video on Youtube or, as I will call it in Russian, YouTube. You will learn, how to download video in three ways and on different devices (computer, Android phones or iPhone).
For your convenience, below you will find the content of this post, so go directly to the section you need, so as not to waste time.
Method number 1: How to download a video to a computer through a browser (free and without registration)
This is the easiest and fastest way to download YouTube videos. In this case, you do not need to install anything and there is no need to register anywhere. Moreover, this method works for downloading videos from almost any open source, including sites such as Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki and Facebook.
I want to offer you two, in my opinion, the best services for downloading videos from sites, YouTube and social. networks:
- Savefrom.net
- Video-from.com
Below I will tell you more about each of them.

VideoFrom is new enough service / program for downloading videos from YouTube and VKontakte... On this site, you can save videos, as well as music from VK, directly online or by installing the program on your computer (so far only on Windows computers). It is very convenient that VideoFrom also makes it easy to download videos to mobile devices via a QR code instead of a link!
To download a video, just paste the link to the video in the search box. You will see links to the formats available for download. Select the required format by clicking on "Download". This will open the playing video in a new window. After that, all that remains is to click on the right mouse button and select the "Download" or "Download as" option. Ready! 🙂
Method number 2: How to download a video from YouTube via a link
Step 1. Open the video you want to download to YouTube in any browser.
Here's a good example of what needs to be done:
- Original video link: https: // www. youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk
- Modified download link: https: // ss youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk
Note that there is no dot after the letters "ss".
Click to enlarge. Step 3. An additional window should open where you can download video in one of the suggested formats, for example, MP4 720p or 1080p, whenever possible.
Method number 3: How to download a video from YouTube through a browser extension
There are many extensions for downloading videos from YouTube and other sites, but I would like to recommend two of the best(in my opinion):
1. Savefrom.net is a very convenient browser extension for downloading videos from the Internet, which is used by tens of thousands of people. With this extension, you can download videos to your computer not only from YouTube, but also from almost any website. Moreover, after installing the extension, you can download videos and music from Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki in one click, as well as download videos from Facebook.
After installing the extension, a green "Download" button will appear in the YouTube interface and the ability to select the video resolution you need to save. Very comfortably!
an icon in the form of a green arrow, by clicking on which, you can download the video that is currently being played. A very simple method that works in all popular browsers.
2 . Ummy Video Downloader is another very popular browser extension. In addition to the fact that this extension allows you to save videos from almost any open websites, with its help you can download just an audio file without a video series in mp3 format, which, you see, is very cool if you only need music, and not the entire clip.
Method number 4: Special programs for downloading videos from YouTube to your computer
There is also a third option, with which you can download videos from YouTube, for example, a program Video From .
VideoFrom is new enough program for downloading videos and music from YouTube and VKontakte.
I am very glad that the VideoFrom program was created by domestic developers and is distributed absolutely free of charge. Its computer version is compatible with all current versions of Windows: 7, 8 and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit). The interface is completely in Russian, very simple and understandable even for an inexperienced user.
The principle of working with VideoFrom is quite simple! You need to download the program from the official website of the developers and install it on your computer. Then just copy the link to the desired video in VK or YouTube and paste it into the program. Next, you will be offered several options for downloading videos, where you need to select the quality and format you need.
The VideoFrom program works conveniently in the tray. When the utility is enabled and the link to the video is copied, a window for quick video download will appear in the lower right corner.
How to download YouTube videos to your phone
Below I will tell you about proven methods by which you can save YouTube videos to your phone.
Please note that there are many infected applications on the Internet, so be careful and install programs only from trusted sites and only from reliable developers.
How to save YouTube videos to your Android phone or tablet
Due to the fact that downloading videos from YouTube is not allowed by Google, applications of this kind are very quickly removed from Google Play.
TubeMate- this is probably one of the most popular apps for downloading YouTube videos to Android phones. The application, as I explained above, does not exist on Google Play, but it is possible.
In order to download the application, you need to give permission in the phone settings to install and run applications from third-party websites (not just from Google Play). After installing the application, it is better to turn off this option again, so as not to accidentally download a virus to your phone.
How do I use TubeMate?
The TubeMate app is very similar to the native YouTube app. Here you can watch videos, search for videos through search, and, of course, download videos in the format you need.
Step 1. To download the video, open it in TubeMate. You can use the search or paste the link to the video copied to YouTube on the main page of the application.
Click to enlarge 
Click to enlarge Videos are downloaded in the background, so you can save multiple videos at the same time.
How to download YouTube videos to iPhone or iPad
In order to save the video to any phone, I suggest you use the same service Savefrom.net. The only thing is that you will have to additionally install an additional free application on your phone, since you will not be able to download the video directly from Savefrom on your mobile device.
There are tons of applications for all mobile platforms, but they are disappearing very quickly, and the method that I will discuss below has been around for many years and continues to work. That is why I think it is the best.
Step 1. Install the Documents6 application on your phone. This is a very simple file management app on your phone that will also help you download YouTube videos. Click to enlarge
Step 4. Return to the Documents app 6. In the previously opened site savefrom.net, paste the link to the video from YouTube. Select the desired video format and quality and click "Download".
When the file is downloaded, it will appear in the Downloads section of the Documents6 application. From here, you can drag it to your camera roll to watch videos directly from your gallery.

VIDEO: How to download YouTube videos without programs?
The easiest and fastest way to download YouTube videos to your computer is to use one of the hundreds of online services available on the Internet. They are all similar to each other, but Lifehacker prefer those that have passed the test of time.
SaveFrom.net
Other trusted services
If for one reason or another you are not satisfied with the previous options, then you can use numerous alternatives, for example:
- Getvideolink.com (attention, there is content 18+).
Some of them offer additional features like downloading videos in Full HD and even 4K, but the general principle of operation is the same for all:
- Copy the link to the YouTube video.
- Paste it into the appropriate field on the service page.
- Select the parameters of the downloaded video (quality, format, and so on) and download it.
How to download YouTube videos using browser extensions
SaveFrom.net
You can add a button to download the video directly to the YouTube interface. To do this, just install the SaveFrom.net extension for your browser.
Firefox, Opera and Yandex.Browser are supported (choose the version for Opera). To add it to Chrome, you first have to install the Chameleon extension, and then select the version for Opera.
YouTube Video Downloader
Google does not allow an extension for downloading videos from YouTube to its store, so YouTube Video Downloader will have to be installed manually.
- Follow the link, click the Download for Chrome button, and then unzip the downloaded archive.
- Next, in Chrome, open the "More Tools" → "Extensions" menu and turn on the "Developer Mode" toggle switch.
- Click "Download unpacked extension" and select the folder with YouTube Video Downloader files in downloads.
To download a video, use the extension icon on the toolbar or the buttons under the video. A choice of quality is available, as well as a separate download of audio to MP3.
ClipGrab (Windows, macOS, Linux)
ClipGrab will be a real godsend for all-in-one fans. It has built-in YouTube search, automatic clipboard link recognition, extensive customization, and download management. Everything is simple and reliable, but unfortunately it does not work with playlists.
Softorino YT Converter (macOS)
This application is for those who do not like to bother. No, it allows you to select the quality and download only audio tracks, but its main feature is the fastest and easiest video download.
In just a couple of clicks, the video can be downloaded and immediately transferred to the iOS device. More details.
How to Download YouTube Videos Using Android Apps
Google's Chrome Downloader Extension Policy is also valid for Android apps on Google Play. Therefore, it is preferable to look for them on the side. This is dangerous, and therefore carefully look at the address of the site from which you want to take the APK file.
Lifehacker has collected proven applications that will allow you to download YouTube videos to Android smartphones and tablets without harming your data and devices. These are the official pages of the projects. Choose any of the applications, but only at the addresses below. Downloading and installing from other sources is at your own risk.
How to Download YouTube Videos Using iPhone and iPad Apps
Commands
Starting with iOS 12, you can download videos using quick commands. Install the app first and then add the appropriate shortcut from this link.
SaveFrom.net + Dropbox
Another workaround that has to be taken due to iOS restrictions. Using the aforementioned SaveFrom.net service, we can get a direct link to a YouTube video, and using the Dropbox extension, we can save it to a cloud folder.
The principle of operation is as follows.
This file manager for iOS has a built-in browser. With it, you can go to any online video download service (guaranteed to work with SaveFrom.net) and insert a link to the YouTube video.
The downloaded video will appear in the internal downloads folder of the file manager. From there, you need to move it to the Photos application folder. After that, the downloaded video will be available for viewing in the gallery along with other videos you have shot.
I am often asked the question “how to download a video from youtube?”. The topic has long been eaten away, I may not say anything new, but if you got to this page, then the question is still relevant.
At first, I could not understand why download a video from youtube, if you can watch it online. However, when I had a child, it became necessary to upload cartoons to my phone to show the child (not always in the wi-fi range), that's when I also asked myself the question of downloading videos from YouTube.
There are many different options for downloading videos from youtube, but I'll tell you about four proven and very convenient methods that I used myself. You can choose the method which is the most convenient for you.
Download video from youtube using youtubebyclick.com ( NEW)
This service appeared not so long ago, but has already gained popularity due to its wide functionality. There is a free version that allows you to do everything that the vast majority of users need (download videos and music from youtube, rutube, vimeo, dailymotion, facebook).
The paid version (premium) is suitable for more “professional” users and allows you to download a playlist or entire channel with one click, convert videos to different formats, download private recordings from Youtube and Facebook, download subtitles, add ID3 tags to MP3 files and much more.
In order to use this method, you need a computer. After installation, open the program, select the folder into which you will download the files, select the format and quality, insert the link to the video, and a new task appears in the window with the download status.
If you need something more, for example, to download the entire channel (or playlist) in one touch, then you can buy a subscription to the paid version, it is inexpensive and will be the best choice for professionals (for example, if you want to create your own channel with compilations jokes, coubs, etc. - choose the premium version).
Download video using the online service ByClick ( NEW)
This is my favorite way to download YouTube videos, I admit. The simplicity of this method allows you to download videos in any browser, without installing extensions and add-ons.
To download a video, you need to open the video you are interested in and in the address bar, to youtube add symbols to at the end to make it work youtubeto.com instead of youtube.com as in the screenshot and press Enter.
After clicking Enter You will be taken to the site page, where you will see a link to the video source, the duration of the video clip, its name and, most importantly, buttons with the choice of the quality of the saved video. You will immediately be prompted to select three download options: MP3 (only audio from video), MP4 (video in normal quality) and MP4 HD (video in HD quality).
We choose either MP3 or MP4 (video) in the desired quality (for the subsequent download of the video to the phone, I choose the usual quality, this is quite enough), we save it on the computer. After that, we will see a message that the video has been saved.
As you can see, a very simple and convenient way to download videos from youtube.
Download service GetVideo ( NEW)
GetVideo Is another very interesting service for downloading videos from YouTube, Vimeo and VKontakte. In addition, the site has a link to download the application for Windows.
Using the service is very simple: copy the link with the video address, paste it into the form and immediately get a list of possible formats and resolutions for downloading.
Please note that in addition to the video itself, you can separately download the audio track from the video, and in several formats.
And another interesting feature from the service: the ability to write the name of what you need right in the search bar instead of the video address. This is especially true when there is no time to look for videos on YouTube and frantically copy / paste their addresses (and at this time the children “stand dressed at the door”).
And the last thing. In addition to the online service, there is also the possibility of installing the free GetVideo application, which, unlike the online service, makes it possible to download several videos at the same time, download a video in 4K resolution (with sound), and has a built-in download manager.
Download youtube video via SaveDeo
A very cool service for downloading videos from the youtube site! To get a download link, you need to go to the site SaveDeo and insert the link of your video
then press the button “ Download”And choose the format you need to download
A huge plus of this service is a large number of formats in which you can save a video.
Downloading a video from youtube using a plugin
This method is not as fast as the previous ones, but it is the most convenient. If you often use downloading video clips from YouTube, then this method is for you.
Since I use the main browser Firefox, I will write how using this browser and plugin Download YouTube Videos as MP4 it is very convenient to save video to your computer.
And so, open the browser, go to plugin link, install it. After that, open any video on youtube and pay attention to the appeared button “ Download”
When you click on it, you will see links to videos of different quality and format
As you can see, it is very convenient!
