Y2mate is a free online tool for saving YouTube videos and music. Type a song name or paste any YouTube link, press Start and pick the file you want. Y2mate reads the video in a few seconds and lists every MP4 resolution and audio option that YouTube has for it.
Y2mate download options
| Type | Format | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Video | MP4 | 2160p (4K), 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p |
| Audio | MP3 | 192 kbps |
| Original audio | M4A | AAC 128 – 192 kbps |
| Shorts | MP4 | 9:16, 1080p |
Video files keep the original YouTube stream, so 1080p stays sharp. For a dedicated converter, open YouTube to MP4 or YouTube to MP3.
Y2mate on Android, iPhone and PC
No app is needed. On Android use Chrome or Samsung Internet, on iPhone and iPad use Safari, on Windows and Mac any modern browser. Files go to the Downloads folder; on iPhone open Files › Downloads and tap Share › Save Video to move a clip to Photos.
Is Y2mate safe?
Y2mate only needs the video link. It will never ask you to:
- install an APK, an extension or a player
- sign in with Google or YouTube
- allow notifications or enter your phone number
