Convert YouTube to MP4 — Not Locked to 360p
This YouTube to MP4 converter pulls the video from any public YouTube link and hands you a real MP4 file. Choose 360p, 480p, 720p, or 1080p — whatever the source actually supports — instead of settling for one fixed resolution every download gets stuck at.
How This YouTube to MP4 Converter Works
One link becomes a real MP4 file in three steps.
Paste the YouTube link
Copy the URL of any public YouTube video and paste it into the box above to load its title, thumbnail, and length.
Choose your resolution
Pick 360p for a quick preview, 720p for social clips, or 1080p when quality matters. If a video's real ceiling is lower than what you picked, the converter automatically delivers the highest resolution actually available and tells you it happened.
- Resolutions: 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p
- Automatic fallback with a visible note, never a silent downgrade
Download the file
The converter processes the video and hands you a direct download link, active for 30 minutes. Need just the audio instead? The same link works for our YouTube to MP3 converter.
- Direct MP4 file link
- Link stays active for 30 minutes
Tired of YouTube to MP4 Tools That Cap Every Video at 360p?
Most free YouTube to MP4 sites quietly downscale every video to 360p no matter what you asked for, or bury the real download button behind ads and fake "Download Now" links. This converter asks for your resolution up front, tells you honestly if the source can't deliver it, and gives you a direct file link — no bait-and-switch, no bundled software.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert YouTube to MP4?
Paste the YouTube video URL into the box above and wait for the preview to load. Choose MP4 and a resolution, then click Download — you'll get a direct link to save the file, usually within a minute.
What resolutions can I choose with this youtube to mp4 converter?
360p, 480p, 720p, or 1080p. We deliver the resolution you pick whenever the source video supports it; if it doesn't, we automatically drop to the highest resolution actually available and tell you so on the download screen.
Why can't this youtube to mp4 converter process live streams or premieres?
Live streams, upcoming premieres, and scheduled broadcasts don't have a fixed, finished file to convert, so we block them upfront instead of starting a job that can't finish correctly.
Is there a length limit on videos this youtube to mp4 converter can process?
Yes, 30 minutes per video. Longer videos are rejected before conversion starts, so you're not left waiting for a job that was never going to finish.
How long does my youtube to mp4 download link stay active?
Generated files stay available for 30 minutes after the job completes. Save the file to your device within that window — after it expires you'll need to convert the video again.
Does this youtube to mp4 converter keep my video or share it after I download it?
No. The converted file is deleted automatically after the 30-minute window, and we don't create an account or store a history tied to you.
Can I get just the audio instead of the full YouTube to MP4 conversion?
Yes — switch the format toggle to MP3 on the same page, or use the dedicated YouTube to MP3 converter, and pick a bitrate from 128 to 320 kbps.
Is this youtube to mp4 converter the same as ytmp3 or yt2mp3?
No. "YTMP3" and "yt2mp3" are generic names people use for any YouTube converter, and this YouTube to MP4 converter is a separate, independent product built by transcript.im, not a rebrand of yt2mp3.im or any other site that uses those names.
Up to 1080p, Not 360p
