About
This is a community package of YoutubeDownloader, maintained independently and published with the permission of its developer; unaffiliated with YouTube.
YoutubeDownloader downloads videos, playlists and channels from YouTube. You paste a video, playlist, channel or search query, pick a format and quality, and it saves the result — muxing audio and video with a bundled FFmpeg and optionally embedding subtitles, tags and language-specific audio tracks.
Features:
- Download single videos, whole playlists, channels or search results
- Choose container and quality, including audio-only (MP3/OGG) extraction
- Injects subtitles, media tags and multi-language audio when available
- Ships with FFmpeg — no separate download or system install needed
Downloading may be against YouTube's Terms of Service. Use it only for content you are permitted to download.
