How To Download YouTube Videos Easily With 4K Video Downloader Plus
We here at /Film are big movie buffs by design and job description, and because of this, we also tend to keep a watchful eye on the YouTube side of things. It and many other video platforms are full of trailers, amazing short film content, and interesting analysis such as (ahem) /Film's own YouTube channel, leaving any internet user spoiled for choice.
However, there will come a point in time when you want to download an interesting video you found online so you can enjoy it whenever you want instead of relying on the platform it's on. This, as anyone who's ever tried to download a YouTube video knows, can be tricky ... but not impossible, provided you choose the right tool for the job. My personal favorite comes courtesy of the experienced multimedia software devs at 4K Download.
The company's new tool, 4K Video Downloader Plus, is specifically designed to download videos from all popular websites with unprecedented ease and efficiency. The award-winning app allows me to download high-quality content from sites like YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, SoundCloud, Facebook, Twitch, BiliBili, and many others. It even offers the option to download YouTube private videos, as well as Facebook, BiliBili, and Vimeo private videos I have access to. What's more, there's virtually no waiting involved — 4K Video Downloader Plus takes mere seconds to download a clip, and in everyday use the process is literally a matter of a single click. I can't overstate how important this is. Life can get pretty hectic, and you'll be surprised how much joy a process as streamlined as this can bring to what would otherwise be an arduous task.
4K Video Downloader Plus is easy to use and offers tons of options
I mentioned ease of use as the big thing in why I like 4K Video Downloader Plus, but really, it works in tandem with the app's reliability and versatility. Sure, there are other downloaders out there, but competitors like ByClickDownloader aren't cross-platform, and others like VideoProc Converter just don't feel as simple and intuitive. As for the average person's first port of call for downloading YouTube videos, aka the YouTube Premium "Download" option, it doesn't actually download anything and only allows comparatively low-quality (Max. 1080p) offline viewing for selected clips — unlike 4K Video Downloader Plus, which not only downloads YouTube videos, but also dubbed audio tracks and even search results!
Where 4K Video Downloader Plus really shines is its built-in browser, complete with an in-app proxy connection for unrestricted access. Because you can use the app itself to surf the web for the clips you wish to download, the extra step of having to juggle the browser and a separate downloader is eliminated entirely. The browser also acts as a handy viewing hub for your downloaded content.
On top of all this, 4K Video Downloader Plus features a host of life-affirming tricks for aspiring and experienced downloaders alike. It's easy to download all sorts of video and audio, and the app offers a series of highly user-friendly, improved download options and settings, such as the ability to save the downloads in your preferred format and the option to pause parsing in Easy Downloads Management.
Let's find out just how easy it is to use 4K Video Downloader Plus
Now that I've hyped up 4K Video Downloader Plus to high heaven, let's take a moment to find out why I like it so much. Here are the steps I need to go through in order to download a video from YouTube. First things first, I open the app. (You can start by downloading your preferred version of 4K Video Downloader Plus here.) Then, I simply find the YouTube clip I wish to download and copy the link to the video, like so:
Now that I have the link copied, it's just a matter of pasting it to the downloader. Conveniently, this is done by clicking the big button that says Paste Link.
The link is now pasted in the app, and I get to choose the exact quality, format, and output folder. This allows me to save the video the way I want in order to optimize my viewing experience.
Once I've chosen my preferences, it's time to click that big green Download button — and that's all there is to it! The video has now been downloaded with my exact specifications, and the process is as easy as they come. Well, almost as easy as they come. See, what we just went through is how you do it if you use 4K Video Downloader Plus as an app for loading the video from a different browser. If you actually use the in-app browser, you don't have to copy and paste anything. You simply start the browser, use it to find the content you want, and click Download to open the format/quality/resolution window. And that, friends, is as easy as it gets.
