Choose the quality and file format

In Select Quality, check the thumbnail, resolution, format, and estimated size. This example offers 1080p WEBM at about 9.6 MB, 720p MP4 at about 6.8 MB, and 360p MP4 at about 909 KB. Select an option and tap Download. Available options depend on the result.

Compare quality and size together

Higher resolutions can retain more detail; smaller versions can reduce transfer time and storage use. The listed size is an estimate, rather than the final file size.

Check MP4 versus WEBM

The 1080p option in this example is .webm; the 720p and 360p options are .mp4. Resolution and file format are separate choices. Check actual compatibility when saving or opening the file in another app.

Set a default quality only if you want to

Set this quality as default and don’t ask again saves your preference. Leave it off if you want to compare quality and format each time.
