Download YouTube videos as MP4

MP4 is the video format that plays almost everywhere: on phones, tablets, laptops and smart TVs. With the MP4Juice YouTube to MP4 downloader you can keep a video for a long trip, a class with weak Wi-Fi or a bigger screen at home.

After you paste a link, you see each resolution the video has, from 144p to 1080p, with its real file size. 720p is suggested because it looks sharp on phones and stays fairly small. Tap any card to open that quality in a new tab.

Each card shows the real file size before you tap it, so you can choose the right one for your screen and your data plan.

Shorts and vertical videos

Shorts links work just like normal links. Paste a Shorts link from the app or the browser and the preview shows the tall, vertical frame. You get the same choices as for any other video, from 144p to 1080p, plus MP3 if you only want the sound.

YouTube to MP4: questions

How do I download a YouTube video as MP4?

Copy the link of the video, paste it into the box at the top and wait a moment for the list of qualities. 720p is suggested for you. Tap it or any other resolution, and the MP4 opens in a new tab, ready to save to your device.

What is the highest quality?

The highest quality is 1080p Full HD, when the video was uploaded in that resolution. If a video only goes up to 720p or 480p, only those options are shown. We don't offer resolutions higher than 1080p.

Why are the file sizes so different?

A higher resolution holds more detail, so the file is bigger. A 1080p video can be several times the size of the same video in 480p. Each card shows the real size, so pick 360p or 480p when you want to save space or mobile data.

Can I download Shorts as MP4?

Yes. Paste the Shorts link and you will see the vertical frame in the preview. Choose a resolution and save it like any other video. The MP4 keeps the tall format, so it looks right on your phone.

How long does it take?

The list of qualities usually appears within a second or two after you paste the link. When you tap a quality, the file opens straight away in a new tab. There is no waiting in a queue and nothing to install.

Where is the video saved?

Press and hold a resolution and choose Download link (or Download Linked File on iPhone). On Android and computers, the MP4 goes to your Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad, it is in the Files app under Downloads, and you can move it to Photos.
