VodGrabber downloads YouTube videos and Shorts as MP4 files that play everywhere. Choose 1080p for editing, 720p or 480p for smaller files, or trim to a specific section using start and end times.

Links shared with a timestamp (youtu.be/…?t=53) are detected automatically so you start exactly where the link points.

Not yet – paste the link of a single video.

Why won't some videos download?

Private, members-only and age-restricted videos need a signed-in account, so they can't be downloaded here.
