YT Free Downloader is a freeware Windows tool to download and save YouTube videos.

Have you ever wanted to download something from YouTube so that you could access it later offline or without ads? YT Free Downloader is a program that lets you do that. Better yet, it is freeware, which means it costs nothing and there are no restrictions on how often you can use. There are also no ads, malware, trial limitations and so forth, so it is highly recommended on that front.

With YT Free Downloader, you can download one file at a time or an entire batch. Pause, resume and prioritize these files as you see fit. The nice thing is that a single YouTube video download is unlikely to saturate your bandwidth, so by downloading multiple files at the same time, you can do more in less time. Surf YouTube, and add files as you come across ones that interest you.

This program not only downloads entire videos but lets you extract audio files. There are many music videos on YouTube, and with this option, you can download the songs you love to enjoy later on your smartphone or media player. The video formats supported are 3GP, AVI, FLV and MP4. The audio formats supported are AAC, MP3 and Vorbis. You can also set the bitrate, which helps to reduce overall size and can be particularly handy when downloading podcasts and the like.

YT Free Downloader is straightforward to use. The list box takes centerstage and all of the major features are easily accessed through large buttons. You can set the output folder, which by default is the program folder. You can also click the Settings button to dive into some of the more advanced options. You can, for instance, limit your download speed so that downloading dozens of videos and music files at a time does not hamper your overall Internet experience.

YT Free Downloader was developed for Windows XP and then updated for Vista, 7 and 8. Although it was not officially updated for Windows 10, it does work on that version as well but may require compatibility mode. The updates took place under the hood mostly. The app continues to look like an XP program, so despite being well organized, it is a bit clunky and unappealing in that sense.
