    How it works

    Step 1

    Paste the video link

    Any YouTube URL works - watch links, Shorts, youtu.be shares or embeds.

    Step 2

    Pick a format

    See every available quality with its file size: full video with audio, video-only tracks and audio-only files.

    Step 3

    Download

    Click download and the file saves straight to your device with a clean file name based on the video title.

    What you get

    Every quality listed

    From lightweight 360p up to the highest resolution YouTube serves, each with its real file size before you download.

    Audio-only option

    Grab just the audio track for podcasts, interviews and research without downloading the whole video.

    Nothing to install

    The downloader runs entirely in Creator Studio - no browser extensions, desktop apps or command-line tools.

    Fair-use friendly limits

    A generous hourly allowance keeps the tool fast and reliable for every member.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it legal to download YouTube videos?

    Downloading your own videos, or videos you have permission to use, is fine. Downloading other creators’ videos may breach YouTube’s Terms of Service and copyright law - always get permission and only reuse content you have rights to.

    Do I need to install anything?

    No. The downloader is built into Branzly Creator Studio and runs in your browser.

    Why can some videos not be downloaded?

    Private, age-restricted, members-only or region-locked videos cannot be fetched, and some videos are protected by YouTube in a way that blocks server-side downloads entirely.

    Is the downloader free?

    Yes - it is included with a free Branzly account, subject to a fair hourly download limit. Paid members get the same tool with priority access.
