Which YouTube link formats are supported?

Use standard watch links, youtu.be short links, Shorts links, or embedded YouTube links. The tool reads the video ID in your browser and ignores everything else.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes. The layout and controls are designed mobile-first, so it works on phones, tablets, and desktop browsers. Use Paste to insert a link from the YouTube app or your clipboard.

What is the quality limit?
