Video formats
Best Quality, Best MP4 and available 1080p, 720p or 480p choices are presented after analysis.
YouTube downloader
Download public YouTube videos
Paste a public YouTube video URL to inspect the formats the source currently makes available. Vidorac shows the result before preparing a download, so you can choose quality and compatibility without guessing.
What you can download
Choose quality with useful context
YouTube often publishes video and audio as separate streams, especially at higher resolutions. Vidorac can combine compatible streams during preparation when the selected format requires it. The choices shown after analysis reflect the source at that moment; they are not a promise that every video has every resolution.
Best Quality prioritizes the highest-quality source combination available, even when that produces MKV with modern codecs such as AV1 and Opus. Best MP4 prioritizes broad playback compatibility by looking for MP4, H.264 and AAC. If that exact combination is unavailable, Vidorac reports what it can actually prepare instead of silently claiming a different format.
Audio
MP3 is offered when an audio stream can be extracted and converted from the public source.
Source-aware results
Codec, container, resolution and an estimated size are shown when reliable metadata exists.
How it works
Three clear steps.
No sign-up required.
Paste the public post URL
Use the original post address whenever possible.
Review the detected media
Vidorac shows the formats and items it can actually verify.
Choose and download
Prepare one quality, selected items or the complete available post.
Quality & availability
Why an option may be unavailable
A creator may upload at a lower resolution, YouTube may expose a different codec set, or a format may temporarily be unavailable to the extractor. Vidorac disables choices it cannot substantiate from the analysis.
Size values are estimates and may change after separate audio and video streams are merged. They help compare options but do not block a preparation solely because the estimate is incomplete.
Frequently asked questions
Useful answers before you download
Can I download YouTube audio?
MP3 appears when Vidorac can access and process an audio stream from the public video.
Why is 1080p sometimes MKV?
The highest available video and audio streams may use codecs that are better represented in MKV. Choose Best MP4 when compatibility matters more.
Why is a listed quality unavailable?
The source did not expose a suitable stream for that option during analysis. Vidorac does not invent missing qualities.
Can Vidorac access private videos?
No. It does not use your account, personal cookies or login session.
Why can the first analysis take longer?
The free backend can sleep after inactivity. Its first request may take up to about a minute while the service starts.
