Video formats first
Built for saving the video stream — not extracting audio-only tracks.
YouTube
MediaLink YouTube Video Downloader
Paste a public youtube.com/watch or youtu.be link below. MediaLink lists the video formats the analyzer can reach — pick one and queue the download here.
Public YouTube watch URLs only — private, age-gated, or region-blocked videos may not analyze.
Highlights

Choose among formats the analyzer returns for that exact URL.
Browser queue
Jobs appear under Downloads with the same progress tracking as the homepage.
How it works
Step 1
Copy a watch URL
Use Share → Copy link, or the address bar on youtube.com/watch?v=… / youtu.be/…
Step 2
Analyze on this page
Paste into the field above and submit — same analyzer API as the homepage.
Step 3
Pick video and download
Open a video format from the results card and start the job.
What this tool does
This page is for downloading regular YouTube videos (watch pages). After analyze, you choose a video format from the results and queue it. For audio-only saves use the YouTube MP3 downloader; for vertical clips see Shorts; for many items at once see Playlist.
Supported links
Public youtube.com/watch?v=… and youtu.be/… links work when the extractor can reach them. Playlist, Shorts, and live streams belong on their dedicated pages or may return different result shapes.
Output behavior
MediaLink shows the formats returned for the URL — often including MP4-compatible options when available. Exact codecs, resolutions, and file sizes depend on the source video, not a fixed quality promise.
Common problems
If analyze fails, check the link is public and complete. Age-restricted, members-only, or geo-blocked videos often cannot be fetched. Invalid or truncated URLs fail client validation before a request is sent.
Limitations
MediaLink does not unlock private videos, bypass DRM, or guarantee a specific resolution. Availability always follows what the public URL exposes to the shared analyzer.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What YouTube URLs can I paste here?+
Public watch links (youtube.com/watch?v=… or youtu.be/…). Use the Shorts or Playlist landings for those URL types.
Is this different from YouTube to MP3?+
Yes. This page focuses on video downloads. The MP3 landing opens the same analyzer but guides you to audio formats in the results.
Can I download private or age-restricted YouTube videos?+
No. Only publicly reachable URLs can be analyzed. Login-walled or restricted videos usually fail.
Where do finished files appear?+
Queued jobs show progress under Downloads. You save the file from the completed job entry.
