4K Video Downloader

Overview

The interface is one button and a paste field, which is deliberate. Copy a link, press the button, pick a quality from the list of what the source genuinely offers, and the file lands in your chosen folder. Everything else in the application is optional depth layered behind that, and most people never need to open any of it.

The quality list is the part that separates it from the browser extensions people try first. It reads what the source actually publishes, which on modern video sites means separate video and audio streams at a range of resolutions and bitrates, and it recombines the pair you pick into a single normal file. That is how a genuine high resolution download comes out rather than the downscaled single stream that simpler tools settle for.

Beyond single videos it handles collections. A whole playlist or channel can be queued in one action, with the naming pattern configurable so the files sort correctly afterwards. Subscription mode watches a channel and pulls new items automatically as they appear. Subtitles download either as separate files in the standard format or burned into the video, in as many languages as the source publishes them.

Output covers the usual practical cases: keep the original container, convert to a widely compatible format, extract just the audio into a standard audio format at a chosen bitrate, or pull a whole playlist as audio only for listening offline. The smart mode records your chosen combination of format, quality and folder and then applies it to every subsequent paste without asking again, which turns a batch of fifty links into fifty pastes and nothing else.

Installation Notes

• Set the smart mode once if you always want the same format and quality. It removes the quality dialog from every subsequent paste.
• Point the output folder at a drive with room before starting a playlist. Large collections add up faster than expected.
• If an item fails, retry it individually rather than requeueing the whole batch.

Before You Start

Read the notes above before running setup. Most of the problems people write in about are covered there, and almost all of them come down to an older version of the same software still being installed, a graphics driver that predates the release, or a security suite quarantining part of the package mid install.

There is no archive password on this or any other entry in the library. If something you downloaded elsewhere claims to come from here and asks for one, it did not come from here. Nothing on this site is behind a survey, a shortener or a countdown either.

If the entry does not match what the page describes, say so on the contact page and include the version string from the release details table. Reports naming a specific version get checked first because the checker can reproduce them straight away.
