Watch out for with online video downloaders
applies to any such tool
- A web downloader needs nothing installed. If it asks you to install an extension, an app or an .exe "codec", close the tab.
- Many of these sites earn from pop-under ads: close new tabs that open, and ignore big green "Download" buttons that aren’t next to your video.
- Check the saved file: a video ends in .mp4 or .webm, audio in .mp3 or .m4a. Never open a downloaded .exe, .scr, .bat or .apk.
- Click "Block" if the site asks to show notifications, and never sign in with your Google account on it.
- Downloading videos you don’t own can break YouTube’s terms and copyright law. Your own uploads can be downloaded from YouTube Studio.
