Bulk-download YouTube videos and playlists on Windows with a simple setup.
- Bulk download YouTube videos, channels and playlists
- Choose output format: audio-only or full video
- Portable configuration file (keep your settings alongside the app)
- No installation required (just extract and run)
- Download: get the latest ZIP from the repository’s Releases page.
- Install: extract the ZIP and run the executable.
- No installation or admin privileges required.
- Run the app once to generate a config.yaml file in the same folder.
- Open config.yaml and paste your YouTube URLs, one per line. Playlists are supported.
- In the app, choose whether to download as Audio or Video.
- Start the download and wait for it to complete.
Tips:
- Use full YouTube URLs for best results.
- You can mix single-video, full channel and playlist links in the same list.
- File: config.yaml (created on first run, stored next to the executable)
- Behavior: one YouTube link per line
- Portability: copy the executable and config.yaml together to move your setup to another machine
- Invalid link: verify the URL opens in your browser.
- Network issues: check your connection or try again later.
- Playlist problems: ensure the playlist is public or unlisted (not private).
- Outdated build: if downloads fail unexpectedly after YouTube changes, update to the latest version.
If issues persist, please open an issue with:
- A brief description of the problem
- Example URL(s) (if possible)
