yt-dlp

yt-dlp is a command line app that allows you to download video and audio from thousands of websites and streaming platforms. It emerged as a fork of youtube-dl, incorporating numerous improvements in the process. Thanks to its active development, yt-dlp keeps up with all the changes these platforms make in the way they deliver content.

Multi-platform support

yt-dlp is compatible with almost all streaming and social media platforms. With this tool, you can download content from YouTube, Facebook, Dailymotion, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram and many other sites. It is possible that, due to changes in the way these platforms offer content, yt-dlp may produce an error when downloading content. This is why it is important to make sure you always have the latest version of yt-dlp to ensure the best possible compatibility when downloading.

Through the command line

Unlike other programs with a graphical interface, yt-dlp is operated exclusively via the command line. Although this may seem complicated at first, it is quite simple to use once the basic commands are understood. To start using yt-dlp, you must first open a command window in the directory where the executable file is located. Then, simply enter a command with the URL of the video you want to download. For example: yt_dlp.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvnQ1KAgmcc. After executing this command, yt-dlp will start the download process, extracting the content and transforming it into a file that you can play with any media player.

Get help at any time

You can use the command "yt_dlp.exe --help" at any point to get a list of all the commands and find out how to type them so that the program does what you want it to do. The list is extensive and detailed, so you'll have no trouble finding out which command to use.

Download playlists and entire channels

With yt-dlp, you can also download playlists or even all the videos from a specific channel. This option is ideal if you want to archive content, follow a creator without relying on an Internet connection or simply have a local copy of your favorite videos. What's more, if you have already downloaded certain videos from a list or channel, yt-dlp allows you to download only the new files, avoiding duplicates and optimizing storage use. If the video you're downloading includes subtitles, yt-dlp is able to extract and save them along with the video.

Advanced download customization

yt-dlp also allows you to greatly customize the downloading of content according to your preferences. You can choose the video quality, output file format and even assign custom names to your downloaded files. What's more, in the event that content is geo-restricted, yt-dlp allows the use of proxies and other techniques to bypass blocks and gain unrestricted access.

Download yt-dlp and enjoy your favorite multimedia content without restrictions.
