YouTube converter
Paste a link and SaveToMP4 turns it into a file you can keep: MP4 video up to 1080p or MP3 audio up to 320 kbps.
No sign-up. No install. Nothing to pay.
How it works
On YouTube, tap Share and then Copy link. On a computer you can also copy the address from the top of the browser.
Drop the link in the box above. SaveToMP4 lists every MP4 resolution and MP3 bitrate the video has, with the file size next to each.
Press Convert and watch the progress bar. When it finishes, the file saves straight to your Downloads folder or Files app.
What you get
No detours through pop-up pages or fake buttons. Everything happens in the box at the top.
Choose 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p. Video and sound arrive in one file that plays anywhere.
Pull just the audio from music, podcasts and lectures at 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps.
Each quality shows its size before you convert, so you know what fits on your phone.
It runs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge. No app, no extension, no permissions.
We never ask for an email address, and your links aren't tied to a profile.
Paste a youtube.com/shorts link and it converts the same way as a regular video.
Specs
SaveToMP4 is a free online YouTube converter. You give it a public YouTube link and it hands back a normal file: an MP4 video at up to 1080p, or an MP3 at up to 320 kbps. The file is yours to keep offline, so it plays on a plane, on a train, or anywhere the signal drops.
It is a web page, not a program. That matters on phones, where installing a downloader app is either impossible or risky, and on work or school computers where you can't install anything at all.
For watching on a phone, 720p is the sweet spot: it looks sharp on a small screen and a ten-minute video is usually 60–120 MB. Choose 1080p for a laptop, a TV or anything you plan to edit. 360p and 480p are there for slow connections and for saving storage.
For audio, 128 kbps is fine for speech. Music sounds noticeably fuller at 256 or 320 kbps, and those files are still small, around 2.4 MB per minute at 320 kbps.
Download videos you own, videos their creators have released for reuse, and things you're saving for your own offline viewing. Re-uploading or selling someone else's work needs their permission.
Questions
Yes. There is no charge, no trial and no limit on how many videos you convert in a day.
MP4 goes up to 1080p Full HD and MP3 up to 320 kbps. A video only offers the resolutions its uploader provided, so an old 480p upload stays 480p.
No. SaveToMP4 runs entirely in your browser on phones, tablets and computers.
On a computer and on Android it lands in the Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad it goes to the Files app under Downloads, where you can move a video into Photos.
The usual reasons are that the video is private, members-only, age-restricted, removed, or a live stream that is still running. Very long videos can also be too large at 1080p; try 720p.
Yes. Paste the Shorts link and it converts like any other video, keeping its vertical shape.
