## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is downloading YouTube videos with this tool free?
Yes. Downloading at 480p and below (144p, 240p, 360p, 480p) is completely free with no limits. Qualities of 720p, 1080p, and higher are available in the Premium version.

### Do I need to install an extension or software?
No. The tool works entirely in your browser. Just paste the link and click Download — no extensions, no apps, no sign-up needed.

### What format will the downloaded video be in?
Click Download. If the transfer stops, press the same button again while the link is valid.

### Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. The interface is fully responsive and optimized for smartphones and tablets. You can paste a link, choose quality, and download directly from your phone.

### Why are some quality options missing for certain videos?
YouTube decides which resolutions are available for each video. If the uploader posted the video in limited resolutions, those are the only options available — this is a YouTube limitation, not a restriction of our service.
