Good to know
About YouTube downloads
YouTube streams every video in multiple renditions, and PixaTok surfaces all of them instead of forcing one size on you. Heading somewhere without signal? Grab the 720p MP4 for the flight. Archiving your own uploads? Take the full 4K master rendition. Building a podcast queue? Skip the video entirely and extract a clean M4A or MP3 audio track. Each option is listed with its file size, so you always know what you are saving before you commit.
Every common link style works: full watch URLs, short youtu.be share links, YouTube Shorts and even YouTube Music tracks. For playlists, paste the link of each individual video you want. And a quick, honest note — download your own content, Creative Commons material, or videos you have permission to save. PixaTok is built for personal, permitted use, not for republishing other people’s work.
FAQ
YouTube, explained.
Yes. If the creator uploaded in 4K, PixaTok lists a 2160p option alongside 1080p, 720p and lower qualities. Each option shows its file size, so you can balance quality against storage before you download.
Paste the video link as usual, then choose one of the audio-only options in the results list. PixaTok extracts the original audio track directly, so you keep full quality and it only takes seconds.
Yes. Copy the Short’s link from the Share button and paste it like any other URL. Shorts save as vertical MP4 files at their original resolution, without any watermark.
Downloading your own uploads, Creative Commons videos, or content you have the creator’s permission to save is generally fine. Re-downloading copyrighted content may breach YouTube’s Terms of Service in your region. PixaTok is built for personal, permitted use only.
No. PixaTok runs entirely in your browser on any device — Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iPhone. There is nothing to install, no account to create and no extension permissions to grant.
