How to Download YouTube Videos as MP4

Saving a YouTube video as an MP4 should be quick and painless. With EzMP4 there is nothing to install and no ads to dodge. You paste a link, choose a quality, and download the file. This guide walks you through the whole process and shares a few tips to get the best results.

Step-by-step guide

1. Copy the video link: Open YouTube in any browser or in the app, find the video you want, and copy its URL. On mobile you can tap Share and then Copy Link.
2. Paste it into EzMP4: Head to the converter and paste the link into the URL field. It needs to be a valid YouTube video or Shorts link.
3. Pick your quality: Choose 360p, 720p, or 1080p depending on how sharp you want the video and how much space you want it to take up.
4. Start the conversion: Click Convert. EzMP4 fetches the video and converts it to MP4 for you.
5. Download your MP4: When it is ready, click Download MP4 and the file saves to your device. Use Convert Next to grab another video.

Tips for the best downloads

• Choose 1080p when you plan to watch on a large screen, and 360p or 720p when you want a smaller file for your phone.
• Always copy the link straight from YouTube to make sure it is valid before pasting it into the converter.
• Longer videos and higher qualities take a little more time to convert, so give the process a moment to finish.
