VidiSave YouTube to MP4 Converter is a free online tool for downloading YouTube videos as MP4 files in your choice of quality. MP4 with H.264 encoding is the universal video format supported by every device, operating system, and video editing application — making it the ideal choice for offline viewing, archiving, and professional use.
YouTube is the world's largest video platform, hosting everything from 4K nature documentaries and Hollywood movie trailers to DIY tutorials, gaming livestream replays, academic lectures, cooking shows, and personal vlogs. VidiSave lets you save any publicly available YouTube video as a standard MP4 file that works everywhere without an internet connection.
VidiSave offers multiple MP4 quality options for each YouTube video: Full HD 1080p, HD 720p, SD 480p, and 360p. The available options depend on what resolutions the original video was uploaded in. For most modern YouTube videos, 1080p is available as the standard high-quality option. 4K (2160p) downloads are available when the original video was uploaded in 4K.
All MP4 files downloaded through VidiSave use the H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec — the most widely supported combination across all platforms. These files open natively in QuickTime on Mac, Photos on iPhone, Gallery on Android, and Windows Media Player on PC. They are also directly importable into all major video editing software including Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and iMovie.
