Features

The complete yt-dlp toolkit, in a clean desktop app

yt-dlp online exposes the full power of the yt-dlp engine — the same one that supports 1,727+ sites — without a single command to memorize.

Setup & maintenance

Zero-setup install

yt-dlp and FFmpeg are downloaded and configured for you on first launch. No Python, no PATH editing, no terminal.

Self-updating engine

The extraction engine updates on its own schedule, independent of app releases, so support for changing sites keeps working.

Cross-platform

Native builds for Windows, macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) and Linux. Your settings and queue sync the same way everywhere.

No telemetry

Zero tracking, zero analytics, zero phone-home. What you download is nobody's business but yours.

Quality & formats

4K HDR & 8K

Download the highest quality a source offers, with HDR and high-frame-rate variants preserved and labelled clearly.

Format intelligence

See every available stream with codec, bitrate, container and file size before you commit to a download.

Audio extraction

Pull audio as MP3, M4A, Opus or FLAC at the best available bitrate, with chapters and tags carried over.

FFmpeg post-processing

Automatic merging of separate video and audio streams, remuxing, format conversion and metadata embedding.

Scale & access

Playlists & channels

Preview an entire playlist or channel and selectively queue exactly the items you want — hundreds at a time.

Parallel fragments

Four concurrent download streams by default saturate your bandwidth and slash download times on big files.

Cookie authentication

Import cookies from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave or Safari for members-only, age-restricted and region-locked content.

Proxy support

Route requests through any HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS proxy for geo-flexibility and privacy.

Built on the most capable downloader in the world

yt-dlp is a community-driven fork of youtube-dl with thousands of fixes, new extractors and performance improvements. It is released under the MIT license and maintained by a large open-source community. yt-dlp online wraps that engine so you get every capability — SponsorBlock integration, chapter splitting, subtitle embedding, format sorting, rate limiting and more — through buttons and dropdowns instead of flags.

Because the engine self-updates, you benefit from the community's work the moment it ships. When a site changes its player and breaks extraction, a fix usually lands within days and reaches you automatically — no need to wait for a new version of the app itself.
