YouTube Playlist to MP4 Downloader – Save Full Playlists in HD (2026)

Tutorial series, full courses, workout programs, kids’ shows for a long trip: when the content you need is a playlist, downloading videos one at a time is the slow way. Paste the playlist link in the box above and this page lists every video in the playlist, each with a button to save it as an MP4 file that plays anywhere.

MP4 with H.264 is the most compatible video format there is: phones, tablets, smart TVs, in-flight tablets, school laptops and video editors all open it without extra codecs.

What you get

The complete, ordered list of videos in the playlist — long playlists included, not just the first page.
MP4 at the qualities the source offers, typically 360p, 720p and 1080p.
Thumbnails and titles so you can pick exactly the episodes you need.
No app, no extension, no sign-up — it all happens in the browser.

How to download a YouTube playlist as MP4

1. Copy the playlist link from the YouTube app or website — it contains list= followed by the playlist ID.

2. Paste it in the box above and press Get Playlist Videos. The full list loads in seconds.

3. Press Download on each video you want. On the next screen choose MP4 and the resolution. The file lands in your browser’s Downloads folder.

Plan your storage before a big download

Video adds up quickly. As a rule of thumb per hour of footage: 360p ≈ 300 MB, 720p ≈ 700 MB, 1080p ≈ 1.5 GB. A 40-video course at 720p can easily take 15–20 GB, so check your free space first — or grab the audio only with the playlist to MP3 converter when the slides matter less than the voice.

Downloading a single video instead? The YouTube video downloader and the YouTube to MP4 converter skip the playlist step. Shorts have their own Shorts downloader.

Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution can I download?

Whatever the uploader provided, typically up to 1080p Full HD. If a video was uploaded at 720p, that is the maximum available for it.

Does it download the whole playlist automatically?

The tool lists all videos and gives each one a download button. You choose which ones to save — there is no forced bulk download, and no ZIP bundling.

Do private playlists work?

No. Public and unlisted playlists work; private playlists and purchased content do not, because they are only visible to the account that owns them.

Will MP4 files play on my TV or phone?

Yes. MP4 (H.264) is the most widely supported video format — smart TVs, Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and most car and USB players handle it natively.
