Freemake Video Downloader helps you download videos from YouTube and many other sites.

Freemake Video Downloader is among the most popular YouTube downloaders in use, and it’s no surprise why. This program is very good at what it does. Not only is it stable, powerful and user-friendly but it’s also extremely fast. It can download a two-hour HD video in about four minutes!

YouTube isn’t all Freemake Video Downloader does. The developer claims support for more than 10,000 websites, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the actual number was much higher. The program is so fundamentally sound that it just works on most sites we tested even if it didn’t have built-in support for that particular site.

Freemake Video Downloader is truly free. Use it as much and as often as you like. You can save videos one at a time, but you can also save playlists and even entire channels. Original quality is preserved, and the program supports everything from 4K to 180p. It can download files as is whether that be MP4, 3GP or FLV. It can rip music from videos to MP3. It can also convert videos to AVI as well as ensure that they’re in a container suitable for your Android, Apple or other mobile device.

The application gives you a lot of control over the download process as well. You can download files locally or automatically have them uploaded to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and a host of other cloud solutions. Freemake Video Downloader supports downloading up to 500 files at a time, which is great if you have a fast connection and a lot to download. If, on the other hand, you have slow or heavily used connection, you can limit bandwidth globally or on a per-file basis.

There’s no downsides to speak of. The UI doesn’t conform to Windows standards, but the UI is attractive and well-organized, so we doubt many will care. In addition to YouTube, it supports Twitch, Vimeo, Dailymotion, LiveLeak, adult sites and much more. It’s a great solution, and if you’re looking for a video downloader, you owe it to yourself to take this one out for a spin.
