Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the maximum YouTube video length I can download?

Free users can download videos up to 90 minutes (1.5 hours) in 720p HD. Pro supporters unlock extended multi-hour streams, podcasts, and recordings up to 10+ hours with Full HD 1080p.

Why do videos over 90 minutes require a Support Plan?

Downloading, remuxing, and encoding videos that are 2, 5, or 10 hours long requires significant CPU processing, gigabytes of temporary memory, and high server bandwidth. The Pro plan directly covers these cloud infrastructure costs without serving deceptive ads.

Can I download long YouTube videos as MP3 audio only?

Yes! You can choose 'MP3 - 128kbps (Audio)' or 'MP3 - 320kbps (HD Audio)' in the quality dropdown to save storage and listen to audiobooks, podcasts, or DJ sets offline.

Do downloaded long videos have watermarks?

No. All files downloaded through YTMP3 are completely clean, original, and 100% free of watermarks or overlays.

Can I download live broadcasts?

Our servers cannot convert live streams while they are actively broadcasting on air. Please wait until the live stream has concluded and YouTube archives the VOD before converting.
