The best free YouTube downloader 2018

[earnmoney2018]

If you want to save a video in case it's taken offline or make a backup of your own videos for safekeeping, you need a free YouTube downloader https://inboxvideo.com/

These free tools will enable you to download and save videos from YouTube – and often other video sharing sites too – in a format of your choice. You can usually choose to save the whole clip or just the audio, which is a great choice for music videos and video podcasts.

YouTube downloaders can also come in handy in other circumstances. If you have a slow internet connection, you'll find that streaming videos can be a pain. With the right downloader, however, you can set the videos you are interested in to download overnight so they are ready and waiting for you to enjoy in the morning, stutter-free and buffer-free.

Free YouTube downloaders are always changing, but we upgrade this guide frequently so you can be sure that you're always getting up to date advice.


How to download YouTube videos for free
Using third-party apps to download videos is against YouTube's terms of service, which say you can only stream videos directly from its servers. Downloading videos is also a potential copyright infringement unless you own the video yourself, have permission from the copyright holder, or it's in the public domain.

1. 4K Video Downloader
Fast, free and flexible – the most versatile YouTube downloader

Great choice of formatsDownloads playlistsSupports 3D and 360-degree videos
4K Video Downloader is the best free tool around for quick, fuss-free YouTube downloads. It's simple to use, highly customizable, ad-free, and doesn't include any bundled extra software.

To grab a video (or a whole playlist, provided it's not longer than 24 videos), simply copy its URL from your web browser, click 'Paste URL' and select an output format, quality and location.

There's a great choice of formats – both video and audio – including MP4 and MP3. You can download captions for individual videos, and there's support for 3D and 360-degree videos too.

Delving into the properties lets you tweak options like multi-stream downloads (increasing the number of streams will speed up downloads, but increases the risk YouTube blocking your IP address) and set up a proxy connection.

I don't get the point of this post. What exactly do you want from us? To use 4K video downloader -- (does this site even exist? A quick google search turns up nothing.)

Or to use your site, which looks like youtube, but the state it was in roughly 7 years ago. Besides that, your site doesn't allow for a quality higher than 720p30?

I'm pretty sure sites like https://streamable.com/ offer better resolutions, and look cleaner/are more established as well..
