If you have ever seen a video that you really liked and you would have liked to have it on your computer, but you did not know how, from now on you will know, since we are going to see what are the tools that allow us to do this.
The largest traffic in the world right now on the network has to do with streaming videos, with YouTube being the platform that takes the biggest part of the cake. This is so because it is the first place that almost everyone thinks of when they want to watch a specific video.
But not only on the Google social network there are videos, since we can find them on any type of website, whether or not it is dedicated to this type of action. In other words, a website that deals with economics will also be able to incorporate a video.
This makes it very interesting to know how to save any type of video that we see on any website in the internal storage of our computer.
Well, simple, what we have to do is download such videos online to see them offline, which means a good saving in our data rate if we usually put them when we do not enjoy WiFi.
The best tools to download videos from any web page:
Video DownloadHelper
Video DownloadHelper is one of the most useful browser extensions for downloading streaming videos at the moment.
It is associated with your browser, being compatible con Chrome, Firefox y Edge. If your browser is usually the place where you watch the most videos, this extension will come in handy “like a glove”.
The extension adds a button next to the browser address bar. Every time we find a video online, we simply click on said button and it will be downloaded to the internal storage of our computer.
The only theoretical limitation is that if we want to download YouTube videos with the Chrome browser, it will not work for us and we will have to use this same extension, but for Firefox.
Supported sites: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Lynda, Twitter, Udemy, and hundreds of other sites.
4K Video Downloader
4K Video Downloader is almost certainly the easiest tool to grab video from a website. It is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.
It is on this list on its own merits, since it is a hassle-free optionwhich requires almost zero effort on our part, since it is very easy to handle.
All we have to do is copy url of an online video and paste it into 4K Video Downloader, it’s that simple.
Links can be pasted to youtube playlists, directly to any YouTube channel, subscribe to channels, and even automatically download new videos as they become available.
The supported formats are 8K, 4K, 1080p o 720p (provided the source video was uploaded to that resolution, of course). In addition, we can also download in MP4, MKV y FLV. If we only want audio, then we will have the MP3 or M4A at our disposal.
Supported sites: YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Flickr, Dailymotion and several more.
JDownloader
JDownloader is not a tool exactly the same as the previous ones, since we are talking about a stream downloader.
We take the URL of any page that has a video, we paste it into the application and the program will scan said web in search of all the videos i can detect. After that we choose the one we want (it can be more than one) and it will begin to download.
The good thing about JDownloader is that it does not need the direct URL of a specific video and that we can close the program without problems, since if the download has not finished, when we activate it again it will start where it left off.
Supported sites: YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Dailymotion and hundreds more.
Freemake Video Downloader
Freemake Video Downloader is another one of the best and most popular video downloader tools.
It is easy to use, but it has the counterpoint that you cannot download anything above 720p in its free version, although in the paid one it can reach 4K. The process only requires the URL of the video, you copy, paste, and finally you have the video to download.
The videos can be had in various formats such as AVI, FLV, MKV, MP4 y WMV. If we only want the audio part, the videos can also be downloaded on MP3 format.
Compatible sites: YouTube, Facebook, Liveleak, Veoh, Vimeo, Dailymotion and a few more.
youtube-dl
youtube-dl is a tool for Advanced users that they understand how the command lines.
This tool offers the greatest flexibility of all, although it is somewhat complicated if you do not have the necessary knowledge.
To get an idea, you can try youtube-dl-guiwhich is an unofficial front-end user interface that is available for Windows and Linux. Supports the formats 3GP, AAC, FLV, M4A, MP3, MP4, OGG, WAV y WEBM.
In addition, we have at our disposal various parameters of video selection and quality, playlist processing, download speed limit, batch video download, automatic file naming, ad inclusion and subtitle download.
With everything we have told you, you will be able to download the video you want from the web you select to enjoy it offline whenever you want.
