    Review YouTube Downloader

    YouTube Downloader is a tool that has been created to download videos from this famous platform belonging to Google. As its name suggests, we are in the presence of an application that has all kinds of functions not only to be able to take from the YouTube website to our PC the contents that we like the most, but it also adds many other complementary elements in the same direction.

    This platform is completely free. Once you have decided which video you want to download from YouTube, you will find yourself with the possibility of selecting among the many formats available, such as the following:

    • MP4
    • AVI
    • MPEG
    • MP3

    In this way, you will be able to select the format that best suits what you are looking for, considering, on the one hand, the final playback quality and, on the other hand, the weight that the files will have, depending on the device where you want to use them. The exciting thing is that since so many formats are available, you can enjoy your downloaded videos on a laptop, smartphone, MP3 player, etc.

    This is one of the keys to the success of this program. Although it does not have as many formats in which we can download the contents as other similar programs, the advantage is that we will not need codecs or extra players. All the video formats it downloads can be reproduced by Windows Media Player and by any other player of your liking that you have previously installed.

    The operation of YouTube Downloader is effortless, to the extent that we only have to focus on opening the YouTube website in a browser and looking for the video we are interested in. You must copy the URL address in the browser's top bar into this program's box when you find it. Set your preferences under there, and start the process whenever you want.

    If you prefer, this is the point where you can take advantage of this tool to extract the audio from your videos. If you want to download only the music from a video clip, you must select the MP3 output format corresponding to the audio. This way, you will only extract the video's soundtrack, leaving aside the image, and you will get a light file that you can play as any MP3 song on your computer.

    Of course, this program also allows you to select the destination folder to which you want to send the file you are about to download. This is an essential function, which, although all similar platforms integrate, is appreciated that, in this case, is very much in sight so that there is no confusion about where our videos end up.

    How's the download speed? Good, good. We got the feeling during our tests that it downloads videos faster than most other similar programs we've reviewed. However, you must remember that the download speed will depend on external issues like your network's speed, your computer's power, etc.

    Apart from everything we have pointed out, you should know that this program is available in English, so if you don't understand English may not understand some minor functions, at least not because of their translation. This is not a problem that we see as too severe, considering that its options are not too many at the end of the day, but other software in the same field is translated into other languages.

    As a criticism, or lacking, we can say that this program does not have an integrated search engine within the YouTube catalog, which would save us from having to open a browser to find the URL address of each video. Although similar software with a search engine does not offer the same results as YouTube, a few less, this is a feature we would have liked to see in YouTube Downloader. Likewise, we would have liked it to allow more than one download simultaneously.

    However, if, on the other hand, we highlight that it does not have any integrated advertising, that its installation is simple and fast, that it does not require registration, and that its consumption of system resources is very low, we are in the presence of small, efficient software. Another detail, just for you to keep in mind, is that this tool is not spyware or malware, even when some antivirus detects it that way. You have to omit that warning to use it.

    In general terms, we can say that YouTube Downloader is a program that complies with a YouTube video downloader application, considering that it is efficient when performing the process. There are usually no failures or interruptions in the downloads. Its number of available formats is acceptable, and although its interface is not very pretty, it is intuitive and easy to use.
