In their own words
4K Video Downloader+
4K Video Downloader+ saves video and audio from YouTube and other listed websites, including Vimeo, TikTok, SoundCloud, Bilibili, Flickr, Facebook, Dailymotion, Naver TV, Tumblr, Twitch, and YouTube Gaming. It lists video resolutions up to 8K UHD, MP4 and MKV video, and MP3, M4A, and OGG audio. YouTube downloads include playlists, channels, search results, Watch Later, Liked videos, and private playlists; private media requires a premium feature, login, and access permission. The app can save YouTube subtitles as SRT in more than 50 languages and automatically fetch new uploads from subscribed channels or playlists. In-app AI tools process downloaded video audio to remove or extract vocals, isolate voice, erase echo, or remove background music. A free Starter plan provides basic features, and the FAQ lists a seven-day premium trial. Desktop downloads are listed for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu Linux, alongside a native Android app. Pro is listed at $60 a month, billed as a Lifetime license.
