Quick answer
How Do I Download YouTube Videos on iPhone?
YouTube Downloader for iPhone is a free, browser-based tool that saves YouTube videos and audio straight to your iPhone — the same tool you'd use on a PC, Mac or Android phone, just opened through Safari instead. Apple doesn't allow third-party downloader apps, so everything runs in the browser. Paste a link, choose MP4 or MP3 and a quality, then save — it works the same on iPhone and iPad.

Key takeaways
- Apple blocks third-party downloader apps, so an online tool through Safari is the way to save YouTube videos on iPhone.
- It's the exact same tool you'd use on a laptop or Android phone — only the browser changes.
- Only save Creative Commons, public-domain content, or videos you own or have permission to download.
- No login, account or personal details are ever required.
Already use our downloader on a laptop or Android phone? The iPhone version works exactly the same way — open it in Safari, pick a format and quality, and save straight to your device, with nothing extra to set up.
It's a secure, browser-based tool that never asks for personal details, so there's no account to create and no risk of ads, malware or pop-ups. Save YouTube videos as MP4 in SD, HD, Full HD or 4K to watch offline on a flight, a road trip, or anywhere the connection drops.
Unlike other tools, it never asks for a premium plan. Just open it and paste the link of videos you own, Creative Commons or public-domain content, or someone else's video only with permission — downloading or reusing someone's media without permission goes against YouTube's terms.

Can't Find the File

- If it's missing from the default download folder, it wasn't fully downloaded — try again.
The Video Won't Play
