The patterns below are the URL grammar the engine actually parses, with the identifying part masked as <id>. If your link matches one of them, this page can process it.

Dedicated handling for YouTube
YouTube is not handled by one generic rule. There are 8 separate handlers: YoutubeLivestreamEmbed, YoutubeYtBe, web.archive:youtube, youtube, youtube:clip, youtube:consent, youtube:favorites, youtube:history. That means public stories, embed player URLs, finished live broadcasts, search result pages, playlists, channel pages (every video inside) each have their own path.
About YouTube and how downloader.asia processes it
The first request goes to a third-party resolver that fetches YouTube without cookies or an account. If that resolver returns nothing, the request automatically falls back to yt-dlp on our own server with a 60-second timeout profile. Two paths means one refusal does not immediately fail the page.
Extractors used for YouTube: youtube. Of the 56 curated services on this site, YouTube is one of those with its own handling rather than the generic path.
Measured result for YouTube
The numbers below are not a marketing claim: each one comes from a real public YouTube request run on 2026-09-04 through the same endpoint you use. A different item can return a different list.

Formats available for YouTube
This list follows what youtube.com itself exposes for one video. When a format does not appear for a specific item, the source is not publishing it — this page is not the limit.
MP4 hingga 4K/8K- an H.264/AAC video container that plays on every phone, TV, and editor without conversion
WEBM- a VP9/Opus container: smaller at the same quality, ideal for the web
M4A- AAC audio in an MP4 container: better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate
MP3- the most compatible lossy audio format, plays on anything
WEBA- Opus audio inside a WebM container
Choosing a quality
The resolution number (720p, 1080p, 4K) is frame height. Some top qualities are stored by the platform as separate video and audio streams; picking that row merges them back into a single MP4 before download, so you never end up with a silent file. At the last test YouTube exposed 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 240p, 144p for one item — so do not expect anything above 2160p when the source itself does not store it.
Limits we state openly
- Public YouTube content only. Private, deleted, or login-gated posts cannot be processed and there is no way to force them.
- Formats and quality follow what youtube.com exposes; there is no upscaling and no re-encoding.
- DRM is not circumvented. Encrypted subscription content is out of scope here.
What happens to your link
A YouTube link is processed in memory to build the format list, then discarded. There is no account, no download history, and the file is not copied onto our servers — the stream goes straight from the source to your device.
What to use this for
Save video you created yourself, that is licensed for reuse, or that the owner permits. YouTube's terms of service still apply to you as its user, and someone else's copyright does not disappear just because the file is publicly reachable.

Do YouTube short links work?
Yes. Recognised forms: youtube.com, youtu.be, youtube-nocookie.com, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ. Tracking parameters after the question mark are ignored.
Which YouTube URL patterns are guaranteed to work?
These patterns: youtube.com/clip/<id>; <user>.youtube.com/<id>?continue=<continue>&gl=<gl>; youtube.com/watch?v=<v>&t=<t>; youtube.com/watch?v=<v>&v=<v>; youtube.com/watch?v=<v>; youtube.com/embed/<id>. The <id> part is your content's identifier.
Which formats come out of YouTube?

Do I need an app or extension for YouTube?
No. Everything runs on this page through the browser on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Nothing gets installed.
Why does a first attempt sometimes fail and a second succeed?
Because there are two paths: a third-party resolver first, then yt-dlp on our server as a fallback with a 60-second timeout. When the first path is being rate-limited, the second often still gets through.
What is the highest YouTube quality actually measured?
The last test on 2026-09-04 returned 12 format rows with a top resolution of 2160p, audio up to 256 kbps, MP4, WEBM, OPUS, M4A containers. Other items can differ because the list follows the source.
