Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about StreamSave and our services
The legality of downloading YouTube videos depends on the content and your intended use. Generally, downloading videos for personal offline viewing is acceptable under fair use principles, but redistributing copyrighted content without permission may violate terms of service and copyright laws. Always respect content creators' rights and YouTube's Terms of Service.
StreamSave supports multiple formats including MP4 for video (with various quality options from 144p to 4K) and MP3 for audio-only downloads. We're continuously working to add more format options based on user demand.
- Copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to download
- Paste it into the download field on StreamSave
- Select your preferred format (MP4 or MP3)
- Choose your desired quality
- Click the download button
- Save the file to your device when prompted
Download speed can be affected by several factors:
- Video quality: Higher resolution files (like 4K) are larger and take longer to download
- Your internet connection: Slower connections will result in longer download times
- Server load: During peak times, our servers may experience higher traffic
- Video length: Longer videos naturally have larger file sizes
For faster downloads, try selecting a lower quality option or check your internet connection speed.
