FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about saving YouTube content with our tool.

How does this playlist downloader work?
Paste any public YouTube playlist URL (must contain ?list=). We scan the playlist metadata in 2-3 seconds and show every video as a card with thumbnail. Click any card's Download button to open that specific video in our video downloader — no batch-zip overhead.
Is this free?
Yes, 100% free with unlimited scans. No signup, no daily limit. Rate-limited to 10 playlist scans per hour per IP to keep the service fast for everyone.
Why don't you offer a "Download All" zip button?
Server-side batch-zipping a 50-video playlist takes 5-20 minutes of sustained CPU and bandwidth — most users only want 1-3 specific videos anyway. Our per-video approach is faster, respects bandwidth, and lets you pick exactly what you need.
Is there a video limit?
We display up to 50 videos per scan to keep the page responsive. For longer playlists, we still scan all metadata but cap the display at 50.
Does this work for music playlists, podcasts, courses?
Yes — any public YouTube playlist. Music playlists, video podcasts, tutorial series, watch-later, channel uploads — all supported. Private playlists require sign-in and can't be accessed.
Can I download playlist audio (MP3 only)?
Yes — click a video card to open it, then use our YouTube to MP3 page for audio-only extraction.
How long does the scan take?
Typically 2-3 seconds for playlists up to 100 videos.
Why does scanning fail sometimes?
Common causes: private/hidden playlists, age-restricted content, region-blocked playlists, malformed URLs (must contain ?list= parameter). Our error message explains the specific reason.
Can I share a scanned playlist?
Yes — after scanning, use the Share Playlist WhatsApp button next to the playlist title.
Is downloading YouTube playlist videos legal?
For personal viewing of public content, generally accepted. Don't redistribute, monetise or use commercially without the creator's permission.
