Paste a YouTube video link on FreeTheVideo to fetch a downloadable MP4. No account is needed.
Short videos can be free; longer downloads may require a Lightning payment. The tool shows the applicable price before payment. Once a public video is unlocked, it is available for everyone while cached.
Private, removed, restricted, or unsupported videos may not be downloadable. Downloads depend on source availability and worker connectivity.
For cached videos, you can request a timestamped transcript. Transcription has its own free allowance and pricing. Read saved transcripts, use the YouTube transcript tool, or browse available videos.
