What is a YouTube to MP4 Converter?
A YouTube to MP4 converter uses the URL of a YouTube video to make an MP4 media file of the user's computer hard drive or storage device.
High-quality YouTube to MP4 software allows users to choose what file format they prefer, set the resolution or bitrate, and can convert entire playlists.
In addition, the best converters, like SnapDownloader, provide unlimited bulk conversions and simultaneous downloads, saving users time.
Why Use a YouTube to MP4 Converter?
YouTube is the second largest search engine on the internet behind Google. So whether you are looking for educational content like DIY videos, or entertainment and music, YouTube has everything.
However, sometimes you might want to take videos offline. For example, maybe you need to work on a building project outdoors, and you need access to a helpful instructional video. Or perhaps you know you will be without internet access for a while and still want to watch your favorite comedy sketches. Either way, a YouTube to MP4 converter will allow you to take your videos offline in the most popular video format available.
There are 3 main advantages to high-quality YouTube to MP4 conversions. First, the MP4 container is compatible with all major platforms and the most popular media player software. In addition, the files are highly compressed, resulting in smaller file sizes for the quality. Finally, MP4 files support metadata, making file storage and categorization easier.
