Video Downloader
Straightforward tool for pulling videos off YouTube and other platforms when you need them locally. Handles the usual suspects: quality selection from 480p to 4K, audio-only extraction for podcasts, batch downloads, and playlists. The workflow is simple, you paste a URL and specify what you want. Saves metadata and thumbnails alongside the video file. Honestly most useful for archiving educational content, grabbing your own uploads, or saving conference talks before they disappear. Just remember this is strictly for content you have rights to download, respect copyright and platform terms. File sizes add up fast at higher resolutions.
