Available resolutions and the 1080p limit

This downloader supports 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p where the source provides them. It does not output 4K files. Choose 1080p for the highest selectable video quality.

Quality-first intent

Start with 1080p for public HD videos and use lower qualities when file size, format availability or source delivery requires it.

Downloading from a 4K source

A 4K source may also offer lower-resolution versions. This tool can prepare a supported version up to 1080p; it does not retain the source's 4K resolution.

Fallbacks that help

When the highest quality is unavailable, users can retry at 720p, 480p, 360p or audio rather than getting stuck in a loader.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download 4K with yt1s.ink?

No. The maximum selectable resolution is 1080p. A 4K source does not change that limit.

Why choose 720p instead of 1080p?

720p often produces smaller files and can be more reliable on slower networks or mobile devices.

Can restricted videos be downloaded in HD?

Private, region-restricted, live or unavailable videos cannot be forced through the downloader.

Does the downloaded video have a watermark?

No. The file is the video as published on YouTube. Nothing is added to it.

Where are downloaded files saved?

In your browser's download location: Downloads on Android and computers, or the Files app on iPhone.

Does yt1s.ink keep a copy of my video?

No. The file is streamed to your device and is not stored on our servers. Download links expire after about ten minutes.

Can I download a whole playlist?

No. Use the link of a single video or Short.

Is it safe and legal to use?

The tool runs in your browser and needs no account. Only download content you own or have permission to use; the legality of saving videos depends on the video and your country.
