YouTube download FAQ

Can I download YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Paste a Shorts link (youtube.com/shorts/…) just like a regular video link and FDownload saves the MP4 with sound.

Why can I only download 360p?

YouTube only allows direct downloads of the version that contains both picture and sound, which is 360p. Higher qualities split video and audio into separate streams, so they can't be downloaded directly.

Can I download private or age-restricted videos?

No. FDownload only downloads public videos that can be watched without logging in.
