About this YouTube downloader
YouTube Premium offers offline viewing inside the app, but that does not help if you need a file for your own editing, a backup of a video you uploaded, or a clip licensed for reuse. SaveVideoHD gives you a plain MP4 for those cases.
Respect creators: do not re-upload other people's videos without permission.
