YouTube video extractor
Supports watch, Shorts, youtu.be, embed, and live URLs. Primary action: Download video.
Primary result is the video file (MP4 / best available) when the platform exposes it. YouTube tries Cobalt first when `COBALT_API_URL` is set, then Innertube (optional `YOUTUBE_PO_TOKEN`). On Vercel/serverless IPs YouTube may return LOGIN_REQUIRED (“Sign in to confirm you're not a bot”) — that is a bot check, not necessarily a private video; configure Cobalt or a po_token for reliable downloads. Some videos only expose separate adaptive streams — then audio may still download, and Cobalt can mux a full MP4. TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and X usually need Cobalt. Truly private, age-gated, or members-only videos cannot be extracted.
Image conversion, rescale, frame extract, and text overlays on thumbnails are free. Social video download is free when a public file is available. AI thumbnail face replace uses Studio plan credits. No credit card for free tools.
