About YouTube to MP4 conversion
What is MP4?
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a container format that stores video, audio and subtitles in a single file. Because it is supported by virtually every device and browser, it is the safest choice when you need a video to just work — in a presentation, on a phone, or in an editing timeline. Prefer audio only? Use the YouTube to MP3 converter instead.
How the converter works
Paste a link to a video you own or are authorized to use. We check it, list the qualities the source actually offers, and once you click Convert an authorized media-processing provider produces the MP4 file. Your download link is valid for 30 minutes, after which the file is deleted. Our step-by-step guide walks through every stage.
Supported video qualities
Depending on the source, you can choose 360p, 480p, 720p HD, 1080p Full HD, 1440p or 2160p (4K). Higher resolutions produce much larger files — a ten-minute 4K video can be several hundred megabytes. We break down what each YouTube video quality costs in disk space.
MP4 compatibility
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio plays on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, smart TVs and game consoles without extra software. If you only need the sound, compare MP4 vs MP3 before you convert.
Mobile and desktop
On iPhone and iPad the file lands in the Files app; on Android it goes to Downloads. On desktop it saves wherever your browser puts downloads. No app is required on any platform — see the walkthrough for converting YouTube to MP4 on iPhone and Android.
Downloading videos you own
Typical legitimate uses include archiving your own uploads, keeping an offline copy of a course you produced, or working with footage a client has cleared for you.
Copyright and permissions
You must own the rights or have explicit permission before converting a video. We do not process private videos or circumvent platform protections, and we respond to valid takedown notices. If you are unsure, read whether it is legal to download YouTube videos.
Troubleshooting
If a conversion fails, check that the link is public and correct, that the video is under the duration limit, and try again. If a quality is missing, the source simply does not provide it. Every error message is explained in the guide.
