Before you choose
Start with your device
Check the device platforms listed for a downloader before you commit. The comparison covers Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, web use and browser extensions.
Android availability matters if you plan to download on a Galaxy phone or tablet. Desktop users can compare the Windows, macOS and Linux entries.
Compare free and paid access
Look for a free plan if you want to begin without payment. Freemium tools can also show a paid-from price when the maker publishes one.
A free trial is a separate detail from a free plan. Review both fields when deciding how to try a tool.
Match quality and formats
Compare maximum video quality with the output formats a tool supports. Choose a combination that fits the screen and player you plan to use.
Supported sources can differ by tool, so check that field for the sites you plan to download from.
Check download tasks
Playlist downloads, subtitle downloads and batch downloads describe different workflows. Review these fields if you save more than one video or need captions.
If you need to read or change the code, check the tool's licence.
