How to Download YouTube Videos in 4K Quality for Free
YouTube videos are some of the highest quality content on the internet — but YouTube does not provide a built-in download option for most users. Whether you want to save a tutorial, music video, documentary, or any other video for offline watching, this guide will show you exactly how to do it in 4K quality.
What Quality Options Are Available?
VidSavePro can download YouTube videos in multiple quality levels depending on what the original creator uploaded:
| Quality | Resolution | Approx Size | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4K Ultra HD | 3840×2160 | 80–200 MB | TV watching, archiving |
| Full HD 1080p | 1920×1080 | 30–60 MB | Most devices |
| HD 720p | 1280×720 | 15–30 MB | Mobile, saving storage |
| MP3 Audio | 320kbps | 4–10 MB | Music, podcasts |
Step-by-Step Guide
Find your YouTube video
Go to YouTube.com or open the YouTube app. Navigate to the video you want to download.
Copy the video URL
On desktop: copy from the address bar. On mobile app: tap Share → Copy Link.
Paste on VidSavePro
Go to vidsavepro.co, paste the link in the input box, and click Get Download Links.
Choose 4K or your preferred quality
Select "4K Ultra HD" for maximum quality, or "Full HD 1080p" for a good balance of quality and file size.
Save to your device
The video will download directly to your device's Downloads folder.
Can I Download YouTube Shorts?
Yes! YouTube Shorts links (youtube.com/shorts/...) are fully supported by VidSavePro. Simply copy the Shorts URL and paste it just like any other YouTube link.
How to Download YouTube Music as MP3
VidSavePro can also extract just the audio from any YouTube video as a high-quality MP3 file:
- Paste the YouTube video or music link
- Select the "MP3 Audio Only" option from the results
- Your 320kbps MP3 will download in seconds
This works great for downloading music videos, podcasts, lectures, or any other audio content from YouTube.
💡 Pro Tip: Use VidSavePro's Bulk Downloader to paste multiple YouTube URLs at once and download them all in one batch. Perfect for saving entire playlists.
Is It Legal to Download YouTube Videos?
YouTube's Terms of Service technically prohibit downloading videos without explicit permission. However, for personal, offline viewing, downloading is widely considered fair use in most countries. You should never re-upload, redistribute, or monetize downloaded content that you do not own.
YouTube Premium subscribers can officially download videos through the YouTube app for offline watching.
