YouTube video downloader

Download the YouTube video you have the right to save

Open a video and MediaGrabber Pro detects it on the page — no redirect sites. Save it in up to 8K or extract the audio to MP3, with the extraction running locally on your own machine. Download your own uploads, Creative Commons videos, and content you’re licensed to reuse — not material you don’t have the rights to.

Every way to save YouTube media

No redirect sites

Detected on the page — no pasting links into a sketchy downloader.
