Video File or Audio Track?

Forums often use the shorthand "ytd youtube video downloader", where "ytd" simply stands for YouTube. The same youtube downloader page covers both jobs, so you keep the moving picture in MP4 or take only the audio track in MP3.

If you want audio alone, the dedicated YouTube to MP3 page focuses on that task. The YouTube to MP4 page walks through the video options in more detail.

Download Only What You May Keep

Copyright law in South Africa, including the Copyright Act 98 of 1978 and its amendments, does not excuse taking copies of protected work. Download a video to enjoy offline playback whenever you need access without an active internet connection. This youtube downloader is built for that kind of content.

Personal offline viewing of a clip you may keep is fine. Re-uploading protected clips or music into other channels is not. This YouTube video downloader page follows the same rule for every visitor.
