YouTube is a treasure of free YouTube videos -- from your favorite music videos to hilarious segments that keep you laughing, to some of
your favorite movie scenes, all available just at one place. The problem is
that you can't access these videos when you're not online. Even if you are
connected to the Internet, there's always a chance that the user hosting the
video will decide to take it down and you won't be able to find another copy.
If you want to continue enjoying
your favorite videos online and offline, you can download free YouTube videos. Not sure how to do it? Here I discuss 5
awesome tools to download free YouTube
videos in and effective way: -
Downloader Helper:
Downloader Helper is one of
the best options to download free
YouTube videos because of its user-friendly interface for downloading any YouTube
video. According to me, I always prefer this Mozilla Firefox add-on to download
videos from YouTube. To install this tool in your PC, you should follow these
simple steps given below:
First, open your Mozilla
Firefox and after this, click on the given link (Download Helper) so that you
can open the installation page of Download helper on your browser. You can find
various options on menu-bar such as install, home etc. present on top of the installation
page of download helper (Click on install option).
After clicking on Install
option, a webpage appears on your screen with a variety of add-ons for your
Mozilla Firefox browser, among which you can find a logo having three distinct
colours balls. Just adjacent to that logo, there is an install button present
to install Download Helper in your browser (Click on it).
A new tab opens with an
option to add Download helper add-on in your browser (install it).
After completion of the installation
of Download Helper, open YouTube and type your query in the YouTube search box.
Select your YouTube video and wait for few seconds for video buffering. When
buffering starts, then you can see three ball logo of Download Helper moving on
the top of your browser (left hand side). On the right hand side of that logo,
you can find an arrow pointing down (click on it). When you click on the arrow,
then a drop down menu appears on your screen with various formats of those free YouTube videos. Choose your format
and download your free YouTube videos.
Keepvid
If you want to download free YouTube videos in a Geeky manner,
then I think you should use keepvid.
According to me, if download
helper fails to download any video in good format, then this tool always works
because it offers you a wide variety of quality choices for the video that you
want. You can download any quality of free
YouTube videos that you want to.
It also makes your video in
mp3 version, so that if you want to get an audio of any free YouTube videos in very less size, you can do it easily with
this awesome tool.
To download video from
keepvid, first make sure that Java is pre-installed in your PC? After checking
java on your PC, search your YouTube video, so that you can fetch its URL to
download your free YouTube Videos
easily in various formats.
After fetching the URL of
your video, go to Keepvid and paste the URL of your video on the box of keepvid
and click on “DOWNLOAD” button (right hand side). After this, a dialog box
appears on your screen for asking you to run your java. After clicking on “RUN”
button, a list of various formats of your video appears on your screen, choose
the desired option and click it to download your free YouTube videos.
YTD Video Downloader
YTD video Downloader is a free YouTube
videos program, which is available for any type of
video format and browser. To download this software, click on this link (YTD video Downloader)
The next step is to go to YouTube and to copy
the video URL. You can find this under the "Share" options below the
video.
Highlight the URL and enter CTRL+C to copy the
link. You can also right click on your mouse and choose "Copy."
When you switch to the YTD video downloader,
the URL should automatically be pasted into the box labelled "Enter the
URL of the video you want to download." If it's not, enter it.
You can choose the download quality and the
destination folder for your download in the drop down menus under the URL box.
Click the red button in the lower right-hand
corner labelled "download."
Depending on the speed of your connection and
the size of your free YouTube videos, it will
take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes for your download to finish.
You should see a status bar and an estimated time while the video downloads:
The status bar will show completed when the
download is finished, and your video will appear in the folder you selected
when you started the download.
Easy YouTube Video Downloader:
Easy YouTube Video Downloader
is the same as Download Helper. I will advise you to use Easy YouTube Video Downloader.
If Download helper is not working properly in your PC, then it is the best
alternative to download free YouTube
videos.
To download free YouTube videos from Easy YouTube
Video Downloader, you just have to follow these simple steps given below.
First, open your Mozilla
Firefox and after this, click on the given link (Easy YouTube Video Downloader)
to add this add-on in your browser.
After adding Easy YouTube
Video Downloader in your Firefox browser, open YouTube and type your query in
the YouTube search box. Select your YouTube video and wait for few seconds for
video buffering.
Click on “Download” button
present just below your YouTube video. Then, a drop-down menu opens with
various formats of that YouTube video.
Select your desired option
and save free YouTube Videos in your
PC.
