YouTube to MP4 Converter: what to know
YouTube stores the picture and the sound of HD videos as separate streams. SaveVidr joins them with ffmpeg and hands you a single MP4 file, so you don't end up with a silent video or a stray audio track.
MP4 opens in the iPhone Photos app, Android Gallery, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, smart TVs and video editors like CapCut or Premiere without any extra converting.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why MP4 instead of WebM?
MP4 is the most widely supported video format. It plays on iPhones, TVs and in editing apps that don't accept WebM.
Will the MP4 have sound?
Yes. We merge the separate audio and video streams before you download, so the file always has sound.
Which MP4 resolution should I choose?
720p is a good default for phones. Pick 1080p or higher for a laptop, TV or editing project.
Can I convert only part of a video to MP4?
Yes. Turn on “Cut a clip”, enter a start and end time, and only that section is saved.
