Questions,answered.

Yes. ClipToGo is a free online YouTube downloader with no account, no sign-up and no app to install. It works in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers.

Open the Short in the YouTube app or on youtube.com, tap Share and then Copy link. Paste the link into the box on ClipToGo, press Fetch and pick MP4 or MP3. When the file is ready, press Save file to download it.

Short links look like youtube.com/shorts/ followed by the video ID, and they work exactly like any other video link.

Copy the video's link, paste it into ClipToGo and press Fetch. You will see every MP4 resolution YouTube offers for that video, plus MP3 audio, each with its estimated size. Pick one and your browser saves the file.

Links to a single public YouTube video or Short: youtube.com/watch?v=..., youtu.be/..., youtube.com/shorts/... and the mobile m.youtube.com versions of each.

Playlists, channels, YouTube Music and links from other sites are not supported. If a video link is part of a playlist, only that one video is downloaded.

No. ClipToGo downloads YouTube Shorts and videos without adding any watermark or logo. Shorts keep their original vertical frame, so they look the same as in the YouTube app, and the preview card marks them as a Short.

Open ClipToGo in Safari, paste the link, press Fetch and pick a format. Safari saves the file to the Downloads folder in the Files app.

To move a video into your camera roll, open it in the Files app, tap Share, then Save Video. It then shows up in Photos.

Open ClipToGo in Chrome, paste the link, press Fetch and pick a format. The file goes to your Downloads folder, and most gallery apps show it there too.

No. ClipToGo handles one video at a time and does not download playlists or batches. When a download finishes, paste the next link.

Your browser saves it like any other download. On a computer that is usually the Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad, look in the Files app under Downloads. On Android, check the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Paste the link and pick one of the options. The MP4 options save the video with its picture and sound, and the MP3 option saves only the audio at 192 kbps. There is no separate converter or app to use, and Shorts work the same way as regular videos.

Yes, when YouTube offers them. ClipToGo lists every resolution available for that video, from 144p through 720p and 1080p HD up to 1440p and 4K where the uploader provided them. The list you see after fetching is the real list for that video, each with an estimated file size.

An option bigger than the file size limit is still shown, but marked as unavailable with the reason.

Yes in almost every case. We prefer H.264 video with AAC audio, which plays on every phone, computer and TV. A few very high resolutions are only offered by YouTube in VP9 or AV1, and those options are labelled. Video and audio are combined without re-encoding, so quality is not reduced.

MP3 files are encoded at 192 kbps from the best audio track YouTube provides. That is a good balance of sound quality and file size for speech and music.

Sizes come from the figures YouTube reports, or from the bitrate and length when YouTube gives none. The finished file is usually close, but can be a little larger or smaller.

To keep the service fast and fair, each visitor can run one download at a time and a limited number per hour. Very long videos and very large files are refused. The exact limits are shown under the format list.

ClipToGo only works with public videos that anyone can watch without signing in. Private, unlisted, age-restricted, members-only, paid, DRM-protected and live videos are refused, and we never try to get around those restrictions.

A video can also be unavailable because it was removed, because it is blocked in the country our server is in, or because a rights holder asked us to block it.

YouTube sometimes limits requests from servers for a while. Wait a few minutes and try again. Nothing is wrong with your link or your device.

Yes, until the file has downloaded. If you reload the page, ClipToGo picks your download back up. You can cancel it at any time.

No. Files are prepared in a temporary folder on our server and deleted automatically 30 minutes after they are ready, or straight away when a download is cancelled or fails. We do not keep a library of videos.

Only download content you own, content whose owner has given you permission, or content whose licence allows it. You are responsible for how you use what you download. YouTube's own terms may also restrict downloading. Read our Terms of Use for details.

Send a notice through the form on our Copyright page. Once we confirm it, the video can no longer be fetched or downloaded through ClipToGo.

No. ClipToGo is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
