Want to save a YouTube video in 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K or even 8K? Our YouTube 4K / 8K Downloader is a free online tool that saves your favourite videos in ultra HD quality, in MP4, WebM or MKV, plus MP3 for audio only. It works smoothly on Android, iPhone and PC, with nothing to install.
1080p (Full HD) is 1,920×1,080 pixels. 4K (2160p) is 3,840×2,160 pixels — four times sharper than 1080p. 8K (4320p) is 7,680×4,320 pixels — four times sharper again than 4K. The higher the resolution, the better the picture, but also the bigger the file, so check your storage and your network before saving anything in ultra HD.
Video editors, content creators and designers often need 4K or higher for their work. For lectures, podcasts and everyday entertainment, 720p or 1080p is usually the smarter pick — smaller file, smoother playback, and it still looks sharp on a phone or laptop screen.
