When it comes to downloading video from the Internet, I have reviewed a great deal of tools in the past. From how to download YouTube videos to general browser extensions such as Download Helper for the Firefox web browser to desktop applications like Free YouTube Download which can download whole playlists, favorites and user videos easily.
4K Video Downloader is a free software program for Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh and Linux based operating systems that supports downloading online videos from the four sites YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and Dailymotion.
Video urls need to be copied to the clipboard before they can be pasted into the program via the Paste url button in the program interface.
The program displays download information immediately after the button has been pressed.
A thumbnail image of the video, its name, playing duration and link are displayed at the top. All available video qualities are displayed underneath. This ranges from low resolution videos all the way up to 4k videos if supported on site.
The only other option available is to change the default save directory. A click on the download button starts the download.
This is indicated int the main program interface. Each video that is added to the program is displayed there. A progress bar indicates the download progress of each individual video.
Videos that have been downloaded successfully can be played right away, either by hovering the mouse over the video information and selecting play, or right-clicking the video and selecting play from the context menu.
The context menu links to additional features that include opening the folder the video has been downloaded to or pausing and resuming video downloads.
And that’s basically the functionality of the whole program. When you look at what is offered, you probably will notice the lack of features that would make the program more comfortable, like automatic recognition of video urls or configuring a specific quality setting as the default.
On the plus side, it works not only on Windows but Linux and Mac computers as well. You can download the latest version of the video downloader from the official project website.
