Apify

Download YouTube videos at your chosen quality and format. No login required — anonymous guest cookies are fetched automatically. Uses residential proxies to avoid bot detection and access region-restricted content.

Features

  • Any resolution — 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 2160p (4K), or let the actor pick the best available
  • Multiple formats — MP4 (most compatible), WebM, or MKV
  • Trim by timeframe — download only the portion you need (e.g. 1:30-3:00)
  • No cookies required — anonymous guest cookies fetched via Chrome impersonation
  • Residential proxy support — avoids bot detection, works with region-locked content
  • Smart fallback strategy — automatically tries 7 different player clients and 12 impersonation combinations to bypass blocks
  • Self-healing extraction — survives bot detection by rotating strategies until one works
