Link to Video Converter

How to save a video from a link

Install the app
Hit Free download and run the installer on your Windows or Mac machine. Open the desktop program and you're ready, with no queue or ad wall.
Copy the video link
Open the page with the video and copy the address from your browser bar. You can use any of the 1000+ supported sites, including YouTube.
Paste it and pick MP4 or MP3 plus quality
Paste the link into the program. Choose MP4 for video or MP3 for audio-only, with a resolution from 480p up to 4K/8K where the source has it. Pick a codec your device can play: H.264, H.265, AV1, VP8 or VP9.
Click Download
Press Download to save the file in your folder. For a private or login-gated clip, sign in through the built-in browser first. The program downloads what you can see. Add a whole playlist or a batch of links to download up to 5 at a time.

Why use a desktop link-to-video converter

Get the clip the site refuses to hand over

Some sites give you a .HTML shortcut or a small reference file instead of the real video. The program captures what's actually playing and saves the full-length recording on your disk.

No watermark, no ad wall to sit through

Online tools stamp a logo in the corner and make you wait through another ad before returning your file. You get the clean original straight away here, with no watermark burned into the picture and no queue.

Grab a batch before the links go dead

Videos get pulled, channels vanish, links rot. To keep a set of videos for good, point the program at the list once. Come back to a finished folder on your own drive, beyond the reach of takedowns.

Any link, 1000+ sites

The converter reads 1000+ video sites, including YouTube, social feeds, lecture platforms and clip hosts. If the page plays a video, paste the link and the program finds the stream.

MP4 or MP3, five codecs

Save video as MP4 or extract audio-only to MP3. Choose a codec your player supports: H.264, H.265, AV1, VP8 or VP9.

Up to 4K and 8K

Keep the full resolution the source carries, up to 4K/8K. Or step down to 1080p, 720p or 480p on purpose when you want a smaller file for the phone.

Built-in browser for private video

Log in once through the program's built-in browser to download private clips or those gated behind a sign-in. Within the site's terms, you can download what your own account can already watch.

Playlists, 5 parallel, favorites

Queue an entire playlist and let up to 5 downloads run at once. Pin the channels you return to as favorites, and preview any clip in the built-in player before you save it.

Who is it for

People stuck on a page with no download button

Save files from share-only links and view-only players directly in the program. You don't need to install a browser extension or paste anything into another website.

Collectors who want playlists offline

Building an offline library? Point the program at your list. Batch mode and playlist support let you run up to 5 downloads together and come back to a finished folder.

People who need a specific format for a device or editor

For editing timelines and older TVs, choose MP4 or MP3 and the exact codec you need: H.265, H.264, AV1 or VP8/VP9. Your clip goes into the editor or plays on the old TV without a re-encode.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a link to a video?

Install the app and copy the video's link from your browser. Paste it in. Pick MP4 or MP3, set a quality, press Download, and the file saves straight to your PC.

Can I save a link to MP4 directly?

Paste the link and choose MP4 as the output, then set the resolution, up to 4K/8K when the original was recorded that high. For the soundtrack alone, you can switch the output setting to MP3 and download just the audio using the URL to MP3 converter mode.

How can I download a video that is not downloadable from a website?

Short answer: log in through the built-in browser, then paste the link. Pages that give you a .HTML file or a view-only player hide the real stream behind a session. The program's built-in browser lets you sign in as you would on the site and reads the actual video. You can download a video from a link this way even when the site blocks the normal Save option.

Is there a free app to convert a YouTube link to MP4?

Yes. The program is free to download for Windows and Mac and converts a YouTube link to MP4 at up to 4K/8K. For a standard full-HD file, you can choose the YouTube to MP4 1080p mode, which targets that resolution directly.

How do I download directly from a link?

Copy the link, paste it into the app, press Download. You can download directly from 1000+ video sites, including YouTube, without using a browser add-on or going through a middleman website. When you find a page that can play the video, copy its link and paste it into the program. The program looks for the stream behind the player on that page.

Does it work on Windows and Mac, and is it safe (no watermark)?

Yes to both. It is a native desktop app for Windows and Mac. And here is the part that actually matters, the reason people reach for a desktop tool over a website in the first place. Your clip never gets uploaded anywhere. The download runs on your own PC and there is no watermark on the way out. From the format down to the codec, it all stays under your control, within the site's terms.
