Save videos and Shorts from YouTube to your Android using Chrome.

Public videos only. Up to 5 links at once. Skip the wait & unlock 1080p

Updated October 2026

Steps for YouTube on Android

In the YouTube app tap Share, then Copy. Shorts links work like any other YouTube link. Large downloads can take a minute; stay on the page until Chrome shows the file saved.

Where your YouTube file is saved

Chrome saves the file to your Downloads folder, and it usually appears in the Gallery or Photos app within a moment.

Good to know

If a video is region-blocked, age-restricted or members-only it will not download. Public videos you have the right to save are the ones this works for. If nothing happens, allow downloads for this site when Chrome asks.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an app to download YouTube videos on Android?

No. Everything runs in Chrome. Nothing to install and no account to create, just the link of a public YouTube video.

What is the highest YouTube quality available?

Whatever the uploader published, from 144p up to 4K. Higher resolutions are stored as separate video and audio, and we join them into one MP4 for you. Free downloads are capped at 720p, and a Quick Pass unlocks 1080p and above.

Which YouTube videos cannot be downloaded?

Private, members-only, age-restricted, region-blocked videos and live streams or premieres that have not finished.
