Reading the video…

Sometimes the link isn't enough and you need the actual video file. Maybe the classroom Wi-Fi is hopeless, maybe you're about to board a 10-hour flight, maybe you just want a copy of something you made yourself. The Green Convert YouTube to MP4 converter handles that: paste a link or type what the video's called, and you'll see every size it comes in, each with a rough megabyte count beside it. 1080p if it's going on a TV. 720p if it's for your phone – honestly, on a small screen you won't tell the difference, and it's half the size. Lower than that if your storage is already groaning. The MP4 saves with its sound into Downloads and plays offline in whatever player you like. Only want the song? The YouTube to MP3 converter is one click away. Vertical clips live on the YouTube Shorts downloader page, and for a stack of lessons or episodes, the YouTube playlist downloader lists the lot so you can grab them in order. Free, no sign-up, nothing to install.

That's it

From YouTube to your phone in three taps

  1. Find the video

    Copy the link on YouTube with Share → Copy link.

    Works with videos, Shorts and playlists.
  3. Save it

    Pick MP3 for music or MP4 for video and tap Download.

No sign-up · No app · Free on Android, iPhone and PC

Watching on a plane, playing a clip in a meeting, keeping a backup of your own uploads – all of that needs the actual file. Green Convert MP4 turns YouTube to MP4 so you can download YouTube videos with picture and sound, without installing anything or making an account.

How to convert YouTube to MP4

Copy the link with Share → Copy link, or type what you’re after into the green box: excel tutorial for beginners, banana bread recipe, nba highlights last night.

2. Press Convert

Green Convert lists every MP4 quality the video has, each with a rough file size. If you searched by name, you choose the video from the results first.

3. Pick a quality

The top option is the sharpest. Tap Download and the MP4 saves with sound. Only need the audio? Head to YouTube to MP3.

So which quality is right?

Quality Resolution Good for Size (10 min)
1080p Full HD 1920×1080 TV, laptop, editing 100–200 MB
720p HD 1280×720 Phones, tablets 50–90 MB
480p 854×480 Saving space 25–45 MB
360p and below 640×360 Slow connections under 25 MB

Rule of thumb from experience: phones get 720p, TVs and editing projects get 1080p. Anything below 480p is for emergencies only.

What people save MP4s for

  • Courses and lessons to watch on the train or anywhere without signal.
  • Presentations that shouldn’t depend on venue Wi-Fi.
  • Kids’ shows loaded before a long trip.
  • Backups of your own channel, and footage for CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci.

Where the video goes

Android: your gallery, under Downloads. iPhone: the Files app – open it and tap Share → Save Video to move it to Photos. Computer: your Downloads folder.

Shorts and playlists

Shorts convert to vertical MP4 too – see the Shorts downloader. For a whole course, paste the playlist link and grab each lesson from the list.

Common hiccups

  • No 1080p option – it was never uploaded in 1080p.
  • “Video unavailable” – private, age-restricted or removed.
  • The video opens in a new tab – long-press the button and choose Download link.
  • Stalls on mobile data – long 1080p files are big; switch to Wi-Fi or a lower quality.

Only save your own videos, openly licensed content or videos the creator allows you to keep. Green Convert isn’t affiliated with YouTube.

FAQ

How do I download a YouTube video as MP4?

Paste the link (or type the video's name) into Green Convert, press Convert and tap the MP4 quality you want. It saves with sound to Downloads.

Which qualities can I get?

Whatever the video has on YouTube – usually 1080p down to 144p, plus 2K or 4K when the channel uploaded them.

Why is 1080p missing?

The channel didn't upload the video in 1080p, so there's nothing to convert at that size.

Does the MP4 include audio?

Yes, every MP4 option has sound.
