About 4K Video Downloader

The whole interaction is one paste. An address goes onto the clipboard, the paste button reads it, and a quality dialog lists every stream the source is offering with resolution, codec and file size shown for each. Pick one and it downloads. There is no browser extension to keep alive and no capture panel to miss.

It handles more than a single file. A playlist or a channel address downloads as a set with the numbering preserved, and the smart mode remembers the chosen format so the next paste skips the dialog entirely. Subtitles download either as separate files or burned into the video, in whichever languages the source carries, including automatically generated tracks.

Audio only extraction is a first class option rather than a conversion afterthought. The audio stream is pulled at its native quality and written to a common format with the title and channel information filled in as metadata, which makes it usable directly rather than needing a tagging pass first.

Around that sit the practical details: a download queue with parallel transfers, proxy support, a subscription list that checks for new items in a followed channel, and a in-app player for checking a file without leaving the application. Completed items land in a configurable folder structure rather than one flat directory.

Installation walkthrough

These steps assume a clean machine. If a previous release of the same application is present, deal with that first, since an overlapping install is the most common cause of a setup that stops halfway.

1. Extract the archive to any folder with a short path.
2. Close any running instance of the application before starting setup.
3. Run the installer as administrator.
4. Choose the interface language and the default output folder on first launch.
5. Set the parallel download count in preferences according to the connection speed.
