Why download YouTube as MP4
A YouTube MP4 file is useful when you can’t rely on the internet: on a flight, in a classroom with weak Wi-Fi, or for a presentation where a buffering video would be embarrassing. Video editors also need a real file to work with, so creators often convert their own uploads back to MP4 to cut new clips.

- MP4 files that play everywhere
- A choice of quality, from small files to full HD
- No watermark or extra logo
- No limit on how many videos you convert
- Works on mobile and desktop
YT to MP4 on iPhone, Android and PC
The YT to MP4 steps are the same on every device. Only the save location changes:
- iPhone: Safari saves the MP4 to Files → Downloads. Open it and tap Share, then Save Video to put it in Photos.
- Android: the MP4 goes to Downloads and appears in your Gallery.
- Windows and Mac: it saves to your normal Downloads folder.
Which MP4 quality should I pick?
| Quality | Good for | File size |
|---|---|---|
| 360p | Quick saving on mobile data | Small |
| 720p | Phones and tablets | Medium |
| 1080p | Laptops, TVs and editing | Large |
If you are not sure, choose 720p. It looks sharp on a phone and downloads fast. Pick 1080p when you plan to watch on a big screen or edit the video.
YouTube MP4 converter vs YouTube MP3 converter
This page is a YouTube MP4 converter, which keeps both picture and sound. If you only want the audio for music or a podcast, use the YouTube to MP3 page instead, because MP3 files are much smaller. For vertical Shorts, the YouTube Shorts Downloader keeps the portrait size.
People also call this tool ytmp4, YT MP4 or a YouTube MP4 download site. They all mean the same thing: paste a link, get an MP4.
A quick note on permission
YouTube’s rules say you should only download videos when YouTube offers a download option or you have the owner’s permission. Converting your own uploads or openly licensed videos is fine. Please don’t use MP4 files to re-upload other people’s work.
