Simple tools, clear results, no unnecessary steps
Cap the download at 4K, 1440p, 1080p or lower. Useful when you want a smaller file rather than the largest one available.
All three URL shapes resolve to the same video, so you can paste whichever one you happened to copy.
Use it from a phone, tablet or computer. There is no app or extension to download.
Save the cover image and view the caption, creator and engagement details alongside the video.
Reading the link, saving the video and saving the cover image are all free. A signed-in Spira account is all it takes.
Offline viewing is the obvious one: a long tutorial before a flight, a conference talk to watch on the train. Beyond that: editors pulling B-roll they have rights to, teams archiving their own channel uploads before a rebrand, researchers keeping a copy of a video that a source might delete. Shorts get saved for the same reason TikToks do, to study what makes a short-form hook land.
YouTube's terms allow downloads through its own offline feature; anything outside that is a grey area, and reuploading someone else's video will get a copyright strike quickly. Stick to your own content, licensed material, or personal reference. On quality: the resolution list is whatever the creator uploaded, so a 4K option only exists if the source was 4K. Picking a lower cap is often the better call. A 1080p file is a fraction of the size and, on a phone, indistinguishable.
Not here. This tool handles one video per link. Paste each video URL separately.
YouTube only stores the resolutions the creator uploaded. If the source was 1080p, 4K never existed and the highest option tops out there.
No. Anything that needs a signed-in account or a paid membership to watch cannot be read from a public link.
Yes, the saved file is an ordinary MP4 with audio. If you only want the sound, extract the audio from the file afterwards.
Spira AI takes a script or a link and produces a finished short with voiceover, visuals and captions, then publishes it on a schedule. The downloader is the small end of it.
