Supported links and restrictions
Public, non-DRM videos are supported when the extractor can access them. Private, members-only, premium, live, age-gated login-only, and DRM-protected videos are rejected.
Formats and devices
VidTransfer produces an MP4 from an available public, non-DRM format. The interface works in modern desktop and mobile browsers. Quality and file size depend on the source.
Troubleshooting
If a link is rejected, confirm the URL points to a public video. Private, login-only, live, deleted, DRM-protected, and unsupported videos cannot be processed.
Common questions
Are Shorts supported?
Yes, public Shorts URLs can be checked and downloaded when a compatible format is available.
Why can the delivered quality be lower?
Some high-resolution YouTube formats require separate audio and video streams. The production worker uses FFmpeg to merge them.
Can I save a private video?
No. Private and restricted videos cannot be accessed here.
Are playlists supported?
No. Paste one watch or Shorts URL at a time.
Who is responsible for permission?
You must have the right to download and use the video.
