YouTube video downloader
in HD, 4K and MP3

Paste a YouTube or Shorts link and save the video in the quality you need. Video and sound are merged into one MP4 file on our server, then sent straight to your device.

How YouTube downloading works

YouTube keeps high-quality video and audio as separate streams. When you pick 1080p, 1440p or 4K, GetClip fetches both and joins them into a single MP4 without re-encoding, so the picture stays exactly as it was uploaded. Lower qualities that already include sound are passed through directly.

It works with regular videos, Shorts and youtu.be links, on desktop, Android and iPhone. No app or browser extension is needed. Download only videos you own or have permission to save.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Paste the Shorts link the same way as a normal video. Shorts are saved as vertical MP4 files.

What is the highest quality available?

Whatever the uploader provided, up to 4K when the video has it. The quality list shows only the options that actually exist for that video.

Why is a 4K video slow to prepare?

4K files are large, and video and audio have to be merged first. Longer videos can take a few minutes. Keep the tab open until the download starts.

Can I download a whole playlist or channel?

No. GetClip works with one video link at a time, which keeps the service fast for everyone.

Where is the downloaded video saved?

In your browser's Downloads folder. On iPhone: Files app, Downloads. Nothing stays on the server.

Is it legal?

Only download content you have the right to: your own videos, openly licensed material, or with the author's permission. Respecting copyright is the user's responsibility.
