Write a review →Frequently asked questions
Everything about downloading your own videos: quality, stream recordings, exporting your whole channel and what to do with the packaging when you re-upload.
Why does YouTube only give me 720p?
YouTube Studio gives you an archive copy in MP4 – 720p or 360p depending on the video size. Keep the original high-quality file yourself.
Why won’t YouTube let me download my video?
This happens if the video was removed, has a copyright or Community Guidelines strike, uses a pre-approved audio track – or you’ve already downloaded it five times in the last 24 hours. In that last case, try again after a day.
How do I download all my videos at once?
YouTube – via Google Takeout. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X – via the data export in your account settings; the archive takes from a few hours to a few days.
Where do I get the recording of my stream?
On YouTube, a stream up to 12 hours long is saved to your channel automatically – you can download it in YouTube Studio like any other video. On Twitch – in Video Producer, Past Broadcasts tab; recordings there are kept for a limited time, so download them right away. On Kick – Creator Dashboard → Studio → VODs, the download icon on the recording; recordings are kept for 7 days, or 30 on a verified channel.
Why do TikTok and Instagram videos have a logo?
That’s how these platforms export saved files. If you need the video for another network, use the original file without the logo.
Can I download someone else’s YouTube video?
Not officially: YouTube only lets you download your own videos. With YouTube Premium you can save other videos for offline viewing, but only inside the app.
Do you download the video for me?
No. The page shows the official method for your platform, and the download happens on the platform itself. The link is only used to detect the platform; we don’t store it. It’s all free, with no sign-up.
I’m re-uploading a video – what happens to the title, description and timestamps?
A new video on YouTube is a new page: you’ll need to set the title, description, tags and timestamps again, and the old video’s views and comments won’t carry over. Bloggers.tools video SEO builds them from the video’s subtitles in a few minutes, and you can make a new thumbnail to go with it. If the video was just uploaded, wait 20–80 minutes for YouTube to generate subtitles. 1 video SEO is free to try.
Re-uploading a video? Package it again
A title, description, tags and timestamps from the video’s subtitles – in a couple of minutes. Plus a fresh thumbnail.
