A smooth downloader experience for public YouTube videos, Shorts and audio

yt1s.ink is built for people who need a clear downloader and creator workflow without confusing popups, misleading buttons, or hidden steps.

If your download does not start

Check that the video is public and still available on YouTube. Try a lower quality if the selected format fails. Private, removed, live or region-restricted videos may not be supported. Current limits are 30 minutes and 500 MB per download.

Save the file before the link expires

Prepared links are temporary. If a link expires, paste the original video URL again to prepare a new one. On a phone, check your browser downloads or Files app for the saved MP4 or M4A file.

Only process content you own, have permission to use, or are legally allowed to access. Downloading a file does not grant permission to republish it.
