How to download 4K YouTube videos to your computer

If you want to download 4K YouTube videos, you must make sure that the video on YouTube supports 4K (2160P). In this article, Lucid Gen only uses 1080P videos to guide because I want to introduce you to some good videos in Buddhism.

Step 1: To download YouTube videos on your computer is simple. First, you need to copy the URL of the video. You can use the entire URL from the browser address bar or click the share button to get the shortened URL. The SAVE tool will accept the following 2 URL formats.

FAQ when downloading Youtube videos from Lucid Gen

You may have a few questions, so Lucid Gen answers them in this article.

Why does each video have different quality?

Depending on the original video the channel uploaded to YouTube, you will get different quality. For example, suppose the video URL on YouTube has 4K quality. In that case, the SAVE tool will display the option to download 4K quality.

Why download 4K and 1080P YouTube videos without sound?

YouTube separates video and audio separately, and when playing, both play together, so you think the audio is in the video. YouTube calls it DASH video. MP4 360P and 720P formats will often have audio in the video. If you download a 4K or 1080P YouTube video, there will be no sound, and you have to download the audio file separately.

Why download videos without subtitles?

Because the tool only supports downloading videos, it does not support subtitles when downloading. You can see how to download YouTube subtitles.

Epilogue

Above are the four best ways to download YouTube videos that Lucid Gen has synthesized; hoping to have been able to help you download 4K YouTube videos to your device. Remember that this SAVE tool can download videos from more than 40 other social networks. Please save the URL for faster use next time and share it with friends!
