4K Video Downloader4.33.5

4K Video Downloader lets Mac users save online video as local files by pasting a video link into its desktop app. It supports content from YouTube and other popular online services, including YouTube Shorts, gaming videos, and kids’ content, so saved material can be watched later when convenient. A proxy connection option is available for access where direct connections are restricted.

The app handles common resolutions from 720p and 1080p through 4K UHD and 8K UHD. Video can be saved in MP4 or MKV, with MKV recommended for longer, higher-quality files, while audio can be extracted as MP3, M4A, or OGG. Its AI audio tools can enhance sound, remove or isolate vocals, reduce background noise and echo, and remove background music.

It is intended for Mac users who want personal copies of online videos, subject to the rules governing that content, as well as for professional users who need broader commercial permissions. The macOS release supports Intel and Apple Silicon hardware, and the current version is 4.33.5. The software is freeware, while the publisher’s Plus offering provides permanent basic access at no cost, has no trial period or card-entry requirement, and offers personal annual or permanent plans plus a professional permanent plan with a commercial-use permit.

The workflow centers on pasting links into the application, with guides covering its features and advice for common problems.
