How to Download YouTube Videos Without Access to Free Android?

In the following sections, we will reveal how to download YouTube videos if you don’t have a free Android device – using desktop software, online resources, or even an iPhone app. Look at the below to understand what you can do:

1. Using Desktop Software

Several programs permit users to download and store YouTube videos on a PC as well as a Mac computer.

Here are some of the best options:

a) 4K Video Downloader

The 4K video downloader is the best to use any program available on YouTube. Due to the compatibility with Mac OS and Windows, users can download videos in 720p, 1080p, 4K and 8K quality.

Besides downloading software, online video downloader tools always enable one to download a YouTube video. These tools run from within a web browser, and no installation is needed on your part. Here are some popular options:

a) SaveFrom.net

A user-friendly service called SaveFrom.net lets you download private videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms. The only thing that one requires is the URL of the video.

Steps to use SaveFrom.net:

3. Using Browser Extensions

As always, using browser extensions also comes in handy when downloading YouTube videos. Using the software, downloading any video will take place right from your browser with a simple click. However, most of the versions of those extensions are not available on the Chrome Web Store because of YouTube’s rules. However, it is possible to find them in their third-party versions for browsers such as Firefox and Opera.

Video DownloadHelper is equally one of the best extension downloads for browsers. It supports YouTube and other websites such as Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc.

• This will open a context menu of the videos on the page; click on the Video DownloadHelper icon in the browser toolbar.
• Choose the resolution and video format.
• The video will begin to download and be stored on your device.
