These terms explain the rules for using YouTube Video Downloader, what you can expect from the service and what we expect from you. They are written in plain language, and we encourage you to read them before saving any video or audio file.
Acceptance of These Terms
By opening this website or using the downloader on any of its pages, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
You must be old enough to enter into a binding agreement where you live, or have a parent or guardian who agrees to these terms on your behalf.
What YouTube Video Downloader Does
YouTube Video Downloader is a free online tool. You paste a YouTube link, and the tool looks up that video live and shows its title, length and the available formats. Video is offered as MP4 from 144p up to 1080p Full HD, each with sound and with its file size shown in advance. Audio is offered as MP3 at 320, 256, 192, 128 or 64 kbps.
When you choose a quality, the file opens in a new browser tab directly from YouTube's video servers. We do not host, copy or store any video or audio files, and we keep no download history. No account, app or browser extension is required.
Personal, Non-Commercial Use
The service is provided for personal, non-commercial use only. You may use it to keep a copy of content you are allowed to save, for example to watch offline or listen on the go.
You may not use the tool, or any file obtained through it, as part of a paid product or business service unless you hold the rights needed to do so.
Copyright and Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for what you download. Before saving any video or audio, make sure you have the right to do so. YouTube's own terms of service also apply to the content you access, and you are expected to respect them.
Only download content that falls into one of these categories:
- Videos you created or own the rights to
- Content in the public domain
- Content published under a licence that allows downloading, such as certain Creative Commons licences
- Content whose rights holder has given you permission to save it
Things You Must Not Do
To keep the youtube video downloader working fairly for everyone, the following uses are not allowed:
- Using the site to break any law or to infringe someone else's copyright or other rights
- Sending automated, scripted or mass requests, or scraping the site with bots
- Trying to overload, disrupt, probe or bypass the site's security, including protections provided by Cloudflare
- Reselling, renting or offering access to the service as part of another product
- Redistributing downloaded files publicly or commercially without the rights holder's permission
- Copying or framing the site in a way that suggests it belongs to you
No Affiliation with YouTube or Google
YouTube Video Downloader is an independent website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube or Google. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC, and the name is used here only to describe what the tool works with.
Third-Party Content
Every video and audio track you can access through the tool belongs to its creator or rights holder and is served from YouTube's infrastructure. We do not control, review or endorse that content and are not responsible for its accuracy, legality or quality.
Some videos simply cannot be accessed, including private, age-restricted, members-only, removed or region-blocked videos, and live streams that are still running. For playlist links, only the single video in the link is processed.
Our Own Content and Design
The text, layout, graphics and code of this website belong to YouTube Video Downloader. You may not copy, republish or reuse them without our written permission. Linking to our pages in a normal way is welcome.
No Warranty
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We work to keep it accurate and reliable, but we cannot promise that every quality will be available for every video, that a given link will work, or that the site will be free of errors or interruptions.
Availability depends heavily on YouTube. A format that works today may not work tomorrow if YouTube changes how its videos are delivered.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, YouTube Video Downloader and the people who run it are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or from files you save with it. This includes lost data, device problems and claims from rights holders related to content you chose to download.
Because the service is free, your only remedy if you are unhappy with it is to stop using it.
Changes and Availability of the Service
We may add, change or remove features, formats or quality options at any time. We may also pause or shut down the service, temporarily or permanently, without prior notice. We may block access for anyone who breaks these terms or misuses the site.
Copyright Complaints
We respect the rights of creators. If you believe the tool is being used in a way that infringes your copyright, please send us the details through the Contact page. Include the video link concerned, a description of the work you own, and how we can reach you.
Since we do not host any files, we cannot remove content from YouTube itself, but we review every complaint promptly and act quickly, which can include blocking specific videos from being processed on this site.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time, for example when the service changes or new legal requirements apply. The updated version takes effect as soon as it is published on this page. By continuing to use the site after an update, you accept the revised terms.
If you have any questions about these terms or need to report a problem, please reach us through our Contact page.
