How to download with Y2Mate in 3 steps
From a link to a file on your device in a few taps.
-
Copy the video link

Tap a quality to save
Tap the quality you want and wait a moment while the file is prepared. Then tap Download: the file goes to your Downloads folder and this page stays open.
Where to find your downloaded file
Your browser saves the file like any other download.
Android
Open the Files app or the Downloads app and look in the Downloads folder. Chrome also lists the file in its menu under Downloads. Music players and gallery apps usually find new MP3 and MP4 files by themselves.
iPhone and iPad
Safari shows a download arrow next to the address bar while the file is saving. Tap it to see your downloads. Later, open the Files app and go to Downloads, where you can play, share or move the file.
Computer
Browsers on Windows, Mac and Linux save files to the Downloads folder unless you chose another place. Click the download icon in the toolbar to open the list and show the file in its folder.

Y2Mate FAQ
Is Y2Mate free to use?
Yes. Y2Mate is free, and you do not have to pay or sign up to convert a video. Use it whenever you need it for videos you are allowed to save, on any phone, tablet or computer.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. Y2Mate opens in the browser you already use, whether that is Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. You install nothing and register nowhere, so the box is ready as soon as the page loads.
Which formats and qualities can I download?
MP4 comes in each quality the video has, starting at 144p and going up to 1080p. MP3 is offered at 320, 256 or 128 kbps. Each video quality shows its file size before you download anything.
Is there a file size limit?
Each file can be up to 2 GB. Long videos in 1080p can be large files, so every video quality shows its size first. To save storage or mobile data, simply choose a lower quality such as 480p or 360p.
Can I download YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Copy the link of a Short in the app or the browser and paste it into the box. You can save it as an MP4 video, which keeps its vertical shape, or as an MP3 file.
Does Y2Mate work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The page was designed for phones first. On iPhone and iPad it runs in Safari, and on Android in Chrome or whichever browser you prefer. Finished files land in the Files app or the Downloads folder.
Why do I see an error for some videos?
A video that is private, deleted or blocked in some places cannot be saved. An error also appears when the link is incomplete or is not a YouTube video link. Copy the full link from YouTube and try again.
Is it okay to download any YouTube video?
Please save only what you are allowed to keep: your own uploads, videos under a free license, or videos whose creator permits downloads. Copyright and YouTube's terms of service still apply when you use Y2Mate.
