Why Offline Viewers use it

Load up your phone or laptop before a flight: download the videos you have the rights to as MP4, drop them in your local player, and watch at 35,000 feet with airplane mode on and zero buffering.
Beat dead-zone commutes: tunnels, subways, and rural drives kill streaming. A downloaded copy plays the same whether you have five bars or none.
Going somewhere with metered or no Wi-Fi? Grab the videos at home on your connection, then watch on the road without burning mobile data or hitting hotel caps.
Pick audio-only MP3 when the screen doesn't matter: talks, interviews, and how-to walkthroughs become a podcast-style playlist for the gym, the kitchen, or a long drive.
Keep a stable local copy of content you rely on: tutorials and reference clips you own or have permission to save stay watchable even if the original goes private or gets re-uploaded.
After you download, do more in one place: send the file to AudioPod to transcribe it for searchable notes, turn it into a podcast episode, or split the audio into stems.

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to download YouTube videos to watch offline?+

Download only videos you own or have the rights to: your own uploads, Creative Commons content that permits it, or videos where you have the creator's permission. Downloading copyrighted videos you don't have rights to can violate copyright law and YouTube's Terms of Service, so we ask you to respect both. This tool is for personal, offline access to content you're allowed to save, not for redistributing or pirating other people's work.

What format should I pick for offline viewing on a plane or commute?+

Choose MP4 (video) when you want the picture and sound together for watching on a phone, tablet, or laptop. Choose MP3 (audio) when you only need the audio, like talks, interviews, or lessons you'll listen to at the gym or in the car. MP3 files are smaller, so you can fit far more of them on a device before a long trip.

Will the downloaded video play without any internet?+

Yes. Once a file is saved to your device it's fully local, so it plays in any standard player with no connection, no app login, and no buffering. That's the whole point for flights, subways, road trips, and anywhere Wi-Fi is unreliable. Just download before you leave a good connection.

How many videos can I download for free, and do I need an account?+

You get 5 downloads a day with no account at all, with a 10-minute length cap per video. If you want more, create a free account to unlock unlimited downloads, longer videos, and priority processing, which is handy when you're loading up a device before a trip.

Can I do more than just watch the video after I download it?+

Yes. Once you have the file, AudioPod can transcribe it into searchable text and notes, turn it into a podcast episode, or split the audio into stems. So a downloaded lecture can become study notes, and a downloaded talk can become a clean audio episode for your offline playlist, all from the same place.
