YDownloadNow – VYDownloadNow ideo Downloader & MP3 av Alan

YDownloadNow finds the media a page is actually playing and lets you save it.

Most videos on the web are not a single file: they are streams cut into
hundreds of small segments (HLS .m3u8 or DASH .mpd). Firefox can play them
but not save them. YDownloadNow reads the playlist, downloads every segment
and rebuilds the video into a normal MP4 file — without re-encoding, so
there is no quality loss and no long wait.

WHAT IT DOES

• Detects HLS (.m3u8), DASH (.mpd) and direct files (MP4, WebM, MOV, MP3,
  M4A and more) on the page you are on.
• Quality picker with the estimated size of each option, so you know what
  you are about to download before you start.
• Save the audio only as MP3.
• Handles AES-128 encrypted streams and fragmented MP4 (fMP4) segments.
• Detects images, PDFs, archives and other files too — each type can be
  switched on or off, so the list only shows what you care about.
• Filter by file type inside the popup, with a live count per type.
• Thumbnails, so you can tell two videos apart before downloading.
• Downloads tab: what you saved stays listed, with buttons to open the file
  or show it in its folder.
• Downloads keep running in the background — closing the popup does not
  interrupt them.
• Paste a direct .m3u8 / .mpd / .mp4 URL for pages where nothing shows up.
• Interface in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese.

VERY LARGE FILES

A file is assembled in memory before it is saved, and past roughly 1 GB the
browser may refuse it. YDownloadNow does not just fail: it warns you first
and offers a lower quality that fits, and if a download does fail it offers
that smaller version again with one click.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

It does not touch DRM-protected content. Widevine, PlayReady and SAMPLE-AES
streams are refused by design, so it will not download from Netflix,
Disney+, HBO or similar services — and it never will. Please only download
content you have the right to, and respect each site's terms of service.

PRIVACY

Detection and assembly happen inside your browser. Page contents, the media
it finds and your download history stay on your machine. There is no
account, no analytics and no tracking of any kind.

There is one exception, and it is always your choice: for very large files,
or sources your browser cannot fetch, the extension can offer a
server-assisted download. If you accept, that single file's address is sent
to our server so it can fetch and rebuild it for you. If you never press
that button, nothing is sent.
