A real YouTube downloader, not an ad-filled website

Online download sites tend to cap the quality, open ad pop-ups and handle one video at a time. Linkvido works differently: a lightweight app on your computer downloads at the full speed of your connection, and you control everything from a web dashboard.

Paste dozens of links at once. The queue downloads several videos in parallel, retries on its own when something fails and picks up where it left off if your computer shuts down.

Quality: 4K, Full HD or audio only

Pick the maximum resolution (720p, 1080p, 1440p or 2160p) and Linkvido delivers an MP4 that plays on any player, TV or phone. For music, lectures and podcasts, choose MP3: the file comes with the video's cover art and title.

The app updates itself and keeps up with YouTube's changes, so your downloads keep working without you doing anything.
