How to Download YouTube Videos in HD & 4K

▶ Video Tutorial

YouTube only allows offline downloads through YouTube Premium or the mobile app — and those downloads can't be used outside the app. VidRivo lets you save any public YouTube video directly to your Windows PC in HD or up to 4K, with no subscription required.

1

Install VidRivo

Download the free VidRivo Windows installer from vidrivo.com and run it. Works on Windows 10 and 11. Installation takes under a minute — no reboot required.

2

Copy the YouTube video URL

Open YouTube in your browser, find the video you want to download, and copy the URL from the address bar (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...). You can also right-click the video and choose Copy video URL.

3

Paste, choose your quality & download

Open VidRivo, paste the YouTube URL into the input field and click Analyze. A list of available formats appears: 360p, 720p HD, 1080p Full HD, 4K, and MP3 audio. Pick your format and click Download!
