Is there a maximum supported video length?
Videos up to 90 minutes convert reliably without issues. Content beyond 90 minutes may experience longer processing times. For best results, we recommend converting standard-length videos under this threshold.
Where is the file saved after downloading?
The file saves to your browser’s default downloads folder. On Windows and Mac this is typically the Downloads folder. On Android devices check internal storage. iPhone and iPad users should use Safari for best compatibility, as iOS saves files directly to the Files app.
I cannot save files on my iPad or iPhone.
iOS browser restrictions can block direct downloads in some apps. For best results use Safari, which saves files directly to the Files app. Alternatively enable download permissions in your browser settings under the Files and Media section.
My download is not starting.
Double-check that the video URL is correctly copied from the YouTube address bar. Ensure your browser is not blocking third-party tools in its security settings. A page refresh or switching the output format resolves this issue in most cases. If the problem persists, try a different browser.
