ClipGrab program window
To use any of these programs, just paste the link to the desired video into it, select the video parameters and click on the download button.
Both programs are available for free for Windows, macOS and Linux. But during installation, ClipGrab offers to download an antivirus - do not forget to refuse it.

How to download videos on Android
Google policy does not support downloading videos in Chrome, so the situation is the same with Android devices. You will not be able to find the software on Google Play for downloading. But you can take advantage of third-party offers.
Attention, choose products from unfamiliar developers with caution so as not to harm your phone and its file system.
So, what are the ways to download videos from YouTube to your device?
Method 1. Using a telegram bot
Go to the messenger and just use the search or follow the link t.me/videofrom_bot.
Enter the chat and click "start".
Copy the link to the video and paste it into the dialogue with the bot. The program will process your request and offer several options for downloading.
Method 2: Using a browser extension
Install the Ummy Video Downloader plugin for your browser on your phone. In addition to the ability to download videos from YouTube, the plugin also works on other resources where there is open access to content, and also allows you to download audio without video.
How to save YouTube videos to Android device using mobile apps
You can't find any suitable programs on Google Play. They are not allowed into the store due to copyright issues. But you can install the desired application directly from the developer’s website.
Remember: Google Play is not responsible for programs downloaded from other sources. They may damage your device or lead to your Google account being blocked.
If you're willing to take the risk, install one of the programs listed below. To do this, go to its website from a mobile device, download the installer and run it.
- Videoder →
- Snaptube →
- InsTube →
If the system reports that the browser does not have permission to install, click “Settings” and give permission. If this button does not appear, go to the settings of your device. Open the security section and allow installation of applications from third-party sources.
These programs are free, but they show ads. They work approximately the same. To use any of them, find the desired video through the built-in search and click on the download button. Select the video quality and wait until the application downloads it.
All three applications are capable of downloading videos in up to 4K quality. But if the selected resolution is higher than 1080p, InsTube downloads the video without sound.
How to save videos using online services
Online services are the fastest and easiest way; you don’t need to download or install anything on your computer first. Let's try to download videos from YouTube using the most common options for downloading sites.
Service Savefrom.net
Link to the service: https://ru.savefrom.net/ One of the most popular services. When you open a video on the youtube website in your browser, you need to add ss in front of . Press the Enter key, and the service website automatically opens, where a preview image of your video has already appeared, and is offered a choice: download by installing the savefrom.net assistant, or download without installation, select the latter (download without installation) and immediately indicate the desired format and quality .
Next, a new window opens and the video starts playing. All that remains is to confirm your desire to download it by clicking on the three dots in the lower right corner.
Service Video-from.com
Link to the service: https://www.video-from.com/ru The service works according to a completely similar scheme, only to start you need to add vf . This service has a distinctive feature - in addition to the download link on your PC, you can immediately open an image with a QR code, with which you can download the same video to your phone. Convenient, isn't it? It also allows you to install a program for downloading video from video to your PC.
Service Fetchtube.com
Link to the service: https://www.fetchtube.com/ Activated when writing the video address in the form:
www.you
magic tube.com/watch?v=CygcxYFPFcM
A very advertising-intrusive service, “ten times” when you click on the download button, other sites will open before the video starts downloading. In fairness, we note that the service does work, but... we do not recommend it.
Service Vdyoutube.com
Link to the service: https://www.vdyoutube.com/ It works similarly to the methods described above, when adding vd , for example:
www.
VD youtube.com/watch?v=CygcxYFPFcM
It also suffers from annoying redirects to third-party sites when trying to download, although it is functional. Allows you to select different formats and resolutions, download audio and video files separately.
GetVideo.org service
Link to the service: https://getvideo.org/ A free online service available in Russian, to the site of which you will be automatically redirected when adding the gv in the video link:
https://www.
GV youtube.com/watch?v=NRqjNrGlLEg
You can only download the entire video file by selecting the quality and type.
Some services do not have automatic redirection for additional characters in the address, but this does not complicate their use much. Unless you have to copy the link to the video on YouTube yourself and paste it on the online service website in the URL line for downloading. Then everything is the same.
Savedeo.site service
Link to the service: https://savedeo.site/ The service is in English, but intuitive. Offers a wide range of quality options when downloading separate video and audio components.
GetVideolink.com service
Link to the service: https://getvideolink.com/ Another English-language service. In the search bar, enter either the URL of the video or you can find it using keywords by selecting from the proposed 3 video sites for searching YouTube. A list of download links in the appropriate format and quality will immediately appear. The site also displays all the latest downloaded videos, as well as those similar to your request. Among them there may be videos of the 18+ category!
Service Skachat-video-s-youtube.ru
Link to the service: https://skachat-video-s-youtube.ru/ A simple site without intrusive advertising. What I liked is that you don’t need to additionally confirm the download in the window playing the video, as is required on many similar sites. Just choose a format, click download, and the process begins. Fast and convenient.
Videograbby.com service
Link to the service: https://www.videograbby.com/ This is such a primitive online video downloader that it doesn’t even offer to choose the format and quality, it downloads by default.
Service Сlipconverter.cc
Link to the service: https://www.clipconverter.cc/ Not just a service for downloading. It allows you to immediately convert videos to other formats, for example, .avi or .mkv. And there is also sometimes a very necessary function for downloading not the entire video, but only a fragment. To do this, you need to specify the time interval for downloading. It’s very convenient that you can do this right away and not have to resort to video editors to trim the video later. Unfortunately, there are no Russian language versions among the available language versions.

To download videos, people usually use torrent sites. You can find a lot of interesting films, music, and clips on them, but not always all the content that interests the user is there.

How to save a video from an online service will be described in detail below in step-by-step instructions with photos.
