Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — 100% free with no download limits. You can download as many YouTube videos as you like without creating an account or paying anything.

AllVDL offers 1080p Full HD, 720p HD, and MP3 audio. The available resolutions depend on what the creator uploaded — some older videos may max out at 720p or 480p.

Yes. Both regular YouTube videos and Shorts are supported. Just copy the Share link from the Shorts player and paste it here.

Absolutely. Paste any youtu.be share URL and it works exactly the same as a full youtube.com/watch link.

Yes. After pasting a link and clicking Download, choose the MP3 option to save just the audio track — great for music, podcasts, and lectures.

No. AllVDL can only download publicly accessible YouTube videos. Age-gated, private, members-only, or region-locked content is not accessible.

Not at the moment. AllVDL supports individual videos and Shorts — live streams must have ended and been published as a regular video first, and playlists need to be downloaded one video at a time.

YouTube rotates its CDN frequently. Refresh the page, re-paste the URL, and try again. If it still fails, try the 720p option — it is more reliably available than 1080p on some videos.
