As the name suggests, 4k Video Downloader allows you to download video content to your Windows or Mac device. However, its additional customization and conversion options make it an even more useful tool.

Safe and simple

This freeware converts downloaded videos into audio files, images or video files. It’s also fairly easy to use; all you have to do is copy the YouTube video link or any other content you want and paste it into the interface and the download will start automatically.

In addition, this program is safe to use. Unlike JDownloader, it does not install bundled software and provides users with an ad-free experience.

Full list of sources

This software allows you to download videos from a long list of apps and websites including Tumblr, Dailymotion and Instagram. It can also break up longer Twitch or YouTube gaming sessions into downloadable chunks.

Once you receive the files, you can transfer them to any device, from iPhone to HDTV, or directly to iTunes. You can even watch them offline.

Conversion tools

You choose which format to convert the video to after downloading. It can give you high resolution files, but you can choose lower quality to save storage space.

You can upload multiple files (up to 24) at the same time. You will select the format (MP3 and MP4 are supported), quality and options for subtitles in different languages ​​and start the conversion.

Free and paid

There is a paid version of this program that adds several handy features. With it, you are no longer limited to 24 videos in a batch upload.

Premium also allows you to subscribe to a YouTube channel. However, unlike Video DownloadHelper, the free version has all the basic features.

Among the best

While this tool has its drawbacks, such as batch upload limitation, it is one of the best free tools of its kind, less flexible than youtube-dl. The program is constantly updated to maintain a user-friendly interface and stay relevant.
