YouTube Video Downloader – Save YouTube Videos & Shorts in HD
Paste any public YouTube or YouTube Shorts URL and save the video in HD MP4 with audio included. Free, no signup, no watermark, mobile friendly.
YouTube Video Downloader – Save YouTube Videos & Shorts in HD
SnapFetch's YouTube video downloader saves full-length YouTube videos and YouTube Shorts as HD MP4 files with synchronised audio. Paste the URL, tap download, and you're done — no signup, no watermark, no browser extension.
Behind the scenes, SnapFetch handles the tricky part: YouTube often serves video and audio as separate DASH streams (video-only up to 4K, audio-only up to 160 kbps AAC). SnapFetch pairs them automatically so 'Download Video' always produces a single MP4 with sound.
How to use the YouTube Video Downloader
Copy the YouTube URL
In the YouTube app or web, tap 'Share' → 'Copy link' under any public video or Shorts.
Paste it into SnapFetch
Drop the URL into the box above. Both youtube.com/watch and youtu.be short links work.
Choose video or MP3
Tap 'Download Video' for the HD MP4 (video + audio muxed automatically) or 'Download MP3' for the audio track only.
Save to your device
The file lands in your Camera Roll, Gallery or Downloads folder — playable in any video or music app.

Everything about the YouTube Video Downloader
HD MP4 with audio, muxed for you
When YouTube's best video stream is video-only (common above 720p), SnapFetch pairs it with the best audio track and muxes them into a single MP4. Your file has sound — always.
YouTube Shorts, full support
Vertical Shorts URLs work exactly the same as regular video URLs. Paste the /shorts/ link and save the 9:16 MP4 directly.
MP3 audio extraction
Alongside 'Download Video', tap 'Download MP3' to save just the audio track — perfect for music, podcasts, lectures and interviews.
No YouTube login, no cookies from you
You never sign into YouTube through SnapFetch and never share cookies. Only public videos can be downloaded — age-restricted content requiring a Google login is out of scope by design.
Occasional 'confirm you're not a bot' upstream errors
YouTube's anti-bot systems sometimes challenge datacentre IPs, briefly interrupting downloads for a few minutes. When that happens, SnapFetch shows a friendly retry message rather than a raw stack trace — waiting a few minutes almost always resolves it.
Works on iPhone, Android & desktop
The MP4 saves directly to your Camera Roll on iOS or Downloads/Gallery on Android, and to the Downloads folder on any desktop browser. No app install required.
No watermark, no signup, no daily cap
SnapFetch adds nothing to your files. There are no daily download limits and no signup wall.
