Good to know before you start
Is this YouTube downloader free?+
Yes, completely free. Sign in to track quota and download history.
Which qualities are supported?+
Whatever the source provides — often 360p through 4K. We cannot invent quality that is not in the original.
Why do some links fail?+
Private, deleted, geo-blocked, or live videos usually cannot be parsed. Try a public link.
Do I need an app?+
No. VidPS runs in your browser on desktop and mobile.
How do I download on iPhone?+
Safari and in-app browsers often cannot save files directly. Use Documents’ built-in browser with VidPS (see /help/download-on-iphone): paste a full link to auto-parse, save to Documents first, then Share → Save Video for Photos. Safari/Chrome work as fallbacks — long-press Save to Files if you only see a preview.
How do I download on Android?+
Open VidPS in Chrome (see /help/download-on-android). Paste a full link to auto-parse, or tap Parse after typing. MP4 usually goes to the download manager; some qualities open a preview tab — long-press to save. MP3 needs server conversion, so wait a bit longer. From WeChat/QQ, choose Open in browser first.
Can I download on my phone?+
Yes. iPhone: Documents browser recommended — see /help/download-on-iphone. Android: Chrome recommended — see /help/download-on-android. Paste a full link to auto-parse; saving differs by device and format.
VidPS fails inside WeChat — what should I do?+
Use Open in Safari or your system browser from the menu, then retry. iPhone: /help/download-on-iphone. Android: /help/download-on-android.
Is 8K supported?+
Only when the source video offers an 8K stream. We cannot create quality that is not in the original.
Can I download a live stream?+
Active live streams usually cannot be parsed. Try again after the stream ends and a replay is available.
Only 360p after parsing — what now?+
Usually the source has no HD or your region is restricted. Read /help/why-only-360p and confirm 720p+ in the YouTube player first.
