YouTube video downloader FAQ

Can I paste a YouTube Shorts URL?

Use the public link to one Short. Its duration, size and availability must meet the same limits as a watch-page video.

Will it download an entire playlist?

No. The tool processes one video per request. Paste the individual watch or Shorts link.

Can I save a two-minute section of a longer upload?

The limit applies to the source video. A timestamp in the URL does not trim a longer upload.

What if I only need the YouTube thumbnail?

Use the YouTube thumbnail finder under Related tools to retrieve available cover images for that video.

Is the YouTube downloader free?

Yes. Paste the link, confirm permission and save the available file at no charge.

What are the file and duration limits?

Use one public video up to five minutes and 40 MB. Long or oversized posts may be rejected before a file is available.

Why did my YouTube link fail?

Open the individual video in a signed-out browser. A removed, restricted or live post may be unavailable, and the platform can refuse a request even for a public post.
