Your first download with Keep Video

1. Choose the right installer

On macOS, check About This Mac for Apple silicon or Intel, then choose the ARM64 or x64 DMG. Use the x64 installer on Windows. On Linux, choose a compatible AppImage or DEB from the files offered in the release.

2. Prepare the runtime tools

At first launch, the app checks for yt-dlp and FFmpeg. Install missing tools from the prompt or inspect them in Settings → Runtime dependencies. YouTube may also require Node.js 22+ or Deno 2.3+, installed separately.

3. Paste the video page URL

Paste and parse the URL of a video you have permission to save. If a share message contains extra text that cannot be recognized, paste only the full URL. Check the title and available formats.

4. Choose a format and save

Choose video, audio only or subtitles only and set an output folder. Higher-quality video may download separate streams before FFmpeg merges them. Keep the app open during merging, then check the saved file and audio track.

Sources and support

Platform support relies on yt-dlp extractors and can change as platforms evolve.
