How to download YouTube videos on Windows 10


Want to download YouTube videos on your Windows 10 PC, then look no more. This YouTube downloader saves us a lot of time while downloading videos. Want to know how? Read on this article to know more about this software.

Different people have different reasons for downloading a YouTube video like if you have a costly internet package in your house and want to watch this lengthy 1 hour long tutorial on something from YouTube, then watching it in your house can cost you some bucks. So what do you do? You find some place which provides free Wi-Fi (like a restaurant or a coffee shop), but it is sometimes not possible to watch the whole tutorial in a public place. In this situation, you can just download the whole YouTube video in HD resolution and save it to your laptop and just watch it in the comforts of your house.

There is a problem with this solution (ironic, right!). YouTube does not provide us with the option to download YouTube videos from its site. This is where YouTube downloaders come into play. There are literally tons of YouTube downloaders out there, but today I am going to introduce you to a new method of downloading YouTube videos on your Windows 10 PC/Laptop.

The main problem that exists in the YouTube downloader websites and software is that you have to manually copy the link from YouTube, and then paste it into the software for downloading the YouTube video. But YouTube HD Downloader provides you with a solution to this problem. YouTube HD downloader is actually a small browser for Windows which comes with the feature to download YouTube videos while you are scrolling through YouTube. What this means is that when you find a YouTube video that you would like to download, you can just click the download button present on the bottom-left side of the browser window and just like that you can download the video. No need to copy or paste any link anywhere.

Are you interested in his tool and want to install this browser in your PC? Then follow the steps given below to install this YouTube downloader on your Windows 10 PC.

Immediately after the download is finished, the folder in which the video is stored is opened, and the video will start playing automatically in an MP4 player provided by the browser (more on that later).

Features of YouTube HD Downloader


  • Really good and cool looking User Interface
  • No need to copy and paste YouTube links from a browser to another software. Download it as you watch the video.
  • Auto detects the highest quality of the selected video (720p, 1080p, and higher if available) and merges the audio and video parts together before downloading (A feature that is not available to most of the YouTube downloaders out there. They will only provide only the video file (without audio) for resolution higher than 480p)
  • Numerous output formats like MP4, MP3, AVI, WMV, FLV, WAV, etc.
  • You can download videos from other video networking sites like DailyMotion, Vimeo, Metacafe, Reddit, Digg and many more(Full list available in their site)
  • Built-in MP4 player which is really a minimal MP4 player with limited functionalities, but it really is wonderful to see that the developer has provided us with a free tool to watch the downloaded video.
    There are literally no ads in the browser or in the MP4 player. The usual YouTube ads are there, but the developer hasn't added any 3rd party ads which makes it much faster and easier to use.
  • Compatible with all major versions of Windows like Windows XP (SP3), Vista, 7/8/10 and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
