- The same tool converts the audio to MP3 separately, if that's all you need.
Want to save a YouTube video in true ultra HD, wherever you are in Canada? Our YouTube 4K / 8K Downloader runs entirely in the browser — paste the link, choose MP4, WebM or MKV plus a quality up to 4K or 8K, and the file saves straight to your device. No software to install, and no account needed.
1080p (Full HD) is 1,920×1,080 pixels. 4K (2160p) is four times sharper, at 3,840×2,160 pixels, and 8K (4320p) is four times sharper again, at 7,680×4,320 pixels. The higher the resolution, the bigger the file, so it's worth checking your device's storage and performance before saving ultra HD video.
Editors, filmmakers and designers often need 4K or higher for their projects. For lectures, podcasts and everyday viewing, 720p or 1080p is usually the better call, since it balances file size with smooth playback.

Before you download
How to Check if a Video Has 4K or 8K Quality
Open the YouTube video and tap Settings.
Tap Quality, then Advanced.
If you see 2160p or 4320p listed, the video is available in 4K or 8K.
Good to know
Why You Might Not See a 4K or 8K Option
The original upload is in 1080p or lower quality.
Newly released videos can take time before higher qualities become available.
An unstable internet connection is preventing the higher rungs from loading.
Your device doesn't support playback at that resolution.
Best Format for 4K and 8K Downloads
- MP4 is the best choice for most people — it plays on almost every device, app and media player.
- WebM offers strong quality at a smaller file size, when your media player supports it.
- MKV keeps audio, subtitle and video tracks together in one file.
How to Play 4K and 8K Videos Smoothly
- Use a capable media player, such as MX Player, PotPlayer, IINA, MPC-HC or VLC.
- 8K playback needs a stronger CPU, GPU, more RAM and more free storage than most 4K-ready devices have.
- If a video buffers or stutters, update your graphics driver, close other tabs, or connect to a more stable network.
