There's no question about that. Very few people are aware of how to go about this. Some opt to download these files on their desktops while others on their tablets. Either way, if you have a reliable source of internet, you're good to go.
This will basically assist you to save up on your data. At the same time, you may find yourself in a place where there is no internet access and you wish to catch up on your favorite series. Your downloaded files will come in handy at this point. Sounds good, right? Without further ado, let's look at these tools and apps that will make this a reality, shall we?
1. VLC Media Player
I have chosen to start with this tool as it is common to most if not all computer users. This is one of the best options when it comes to saving YouTube videos. If you do not have it on your device, you should first download it then install it. How to go about it? It's real simple:
Open the app, then click on Media. Select 'Open Network Stream' then paste the Youtube link of the video you wish to download then click on 'Play'.
When the video plays, move on to 'Tools', select 'Codec' then into the 'Location' box copy the link.
Into your browser, paste the link then press Enter. Your video will play automatically. Within the video frame, right-click, then click on 'Save Video As' and voila! Your download will begin automatically.
2. Free YouTube Downloader
Its name definitely goes in line with its function. This app (like most apps), has its good and bad side. The good side: It doesn't change the video's quality in any way. It maintains its originality without altering any aspect of the video. It also does a fast job and saves the user precious time which in most cases, equals to money.
The bad side: In terms of design and brand, it lacks originality. Some have rated it poorly based on its appearance, but most are pleased with what it has to offer. It suits those kind of users who are not so much into excessive content as it gives minimal room for confusion with a blank window for pasting your URL. It's simple yet efficient.
3. Free Studio
This is a tool that is mainly composed of numerous applications that are solely meant for media handling. Not only does it download video files, it also gives you the ability to either convert or edit them. It has a simple interface composed of a white window and a wide bland bar where you paste your video URLs.
At the bottom of of the window is a 'Convert' button that is a seperate application in itself. Be cautious when it comes to installation as you would not want to install additional stuff on your device. Of course, you can always, delete them, but you can never be too sure. Your patience will also be put to test with the numerous annoying ads that pop up each time you close the app.
4. 4K Video Downloader
This application works, if I must say, very uniquely. How so? Aside from the usual white window and paste bar, this app offers additional icons with one of them being a Smiley. This is a feature that is designed to ignite the advanced features for all those geeks out there. There is absolutely no limit to the number of URLs you can paste. Out of this, you will have the option to alter the video's quality. It has a clean interface as well as an appealing design that will attract anyone at just the first glance.
With this app, you can download not only playlists, but also channels as a whole with a single click. You download videos from specific channels as soon as they're released.
5. ISkysoft Free Video Downloader
This app is absolutely free. You can download both video and audio using this software from different sites including YouTube. It has numerous features that will assist you to download youtube playlist either one at a time or as a whole package.
It gives you the option of either download them in their original format or convert them to 153+ formats with an additional feature of extracting audio from the videos.
