How to Download a YouTube Video to MP4
When you want the picture too — a tutorial, a music video, a talk — MP4 is the format that plays everywhere. Here's how to grab a YouTube video in HD without screen recording or installing anything.
Step-by-step
- 1
Copy the video link
Use Share → Copy Link, or copy from the browser address bar.
- 2
Open the YouTube Downloader
Paste the link into the YouTube Downloader tool on mp3juices.sbs.
- 3
Pick MP4 and resolution
Choose MP4 and a quality up to 1080p, then download.
- 4
Play it anywhere
The MP4 plays on phones, tablets, TVs and any media player offline.
Choosing the right resolution
Higher resolution means a bigger file. 1080p looks great on a laptop or TV; 720p is plenty for a phone and downloads faster. Pick based on the screen you'll actually watch on to save space.
Just want the sound?
If you only need the audio — a song or a podcast — skip MP4 and use the MP3 Downloader instead. It's a much smaller file and saves bandwidth.
