Batch downloads

How to batch download YouTube hashtag videos on iPhone and iPad in 2026

A hashtag download starts with a YouTube topic page. It can help save your own or authorized videos from the same topic without copying each video link separately.

01

Paste the hashtag link in Batch

YouTube hashtag links use the format https://youtube.com/hashtag/topic-name. The example below uses carmusic. Open Extract in ClipDock, switch to Batch, and tap Paste to enter the full link. Do not add # before the topic name in the URL.

https://youtube.com/hashtag/carmusic

Load the hashtag list and wait for results

Tap Load list and wait for Loading list to finish. This only retrieves selectable resources; it does not start downloading. You still need to select items and tap Add to queue.

Select videos and add them to the queue

Confirm carmusic as the source and select the videos you want. Use Select loaded as needed. Choose Batch quality, confirm the selected count, then tap Add to queue. The example shows 36 loaded and selected items, with Add to queue (36) on the button.

Troubleshooting

The results differ from the hashtag page

Confirm that the link contains /hashtag/, then check the topic name, loaded pages and account limits. The returned list may not include every video under the hashtag. Select loaded only selects loaded resources. Avoid repeatedly submitting the whole list without checking.

Frequently asked questions

How does a hashtag link differ from a channel or playlist link?

A hashtag link identifies a topic page that can contain videos from different creators. A channel link identifies a creator page, and a playlist link identifies a particular collection. Use a full topic URL such as https://youtube.com/hashtag/carmusic, rather than just #carmusic.

Will completed batch downloads automatically appear in Photos?

Enable Auto-Save Completed Downloads to Photos in Download Settings to save supported downloads automatically. Otherwise, use Save to Photos after downloading. Saving requires photo access and a supported format.

Supported platforms

Batch sources include supported YouTube channels, Shorts, hashtags, and playlists; Instagram profiles and hashtags; X and TikTok profiles; and supported profiles or collections on Douyin, Bilibili, Weibo, and other platforms. Check the resources actually returned for your link.
