The story behind y2mate.love

About Y2Mate

I built y2mate.love so you can download YouTube videos and audio without ads, advertising redirects or software to install.

I just wanted to download a video.

I searched for “Y2Mate”, pasted a YouTube link and clicked Download. Advertising pages opened, and on my phone I couldn’t tell whether the download had started. Some sites offered nothing above 1080p. Others asked me to install software to get higher resolutions.

That experience led me to build y2mate.love. I wanted to download videos in my browser, choose the quality I needed and get the file without being sent through advertising pages.

Today, Y2Mate supports YouTube videos and Shorts, MP4 downloads up to 4K, and M4A or MP3 audio. It is free to use, with no account, app or browser extension required.

Free downloads. No ads. Nothing to install.

These are the basics I wanted every download to include.

  • Free to use

    Download supported videos and audio for free. No payment or subscription required.

  • No account required

    Get started with a YouTube link. You don’t need to register or sign in.

  • Nothing to install

    Download through your phone or computer browser, without installing an app or extension.

  • No ads or advertising redirects

    Choose your file without pop-up ads or being sent to unrelated advertising websites.

Save the video or just the audio.

Paste a YouTube video or Shorts link to see the available formats and quality options.

  • MP4 video

    Download video with sound in available resolutions, including 1080p, 1440p and 2160p (4K), depending on the original video.

  • M4A audio

    Download the source audio without re-encoding for faster preparation. M4A has more limited compatibility than MP3.

  • MP3 audio

    Choose 128 kbps for smaller files or 320 kbps for a higher output bitrate. MP3 works with more devices and players, but requires server-side re-encoding and takes longer to prepare.

Available quality depends on the original video. A higher resolution or output bitrate cannot restore detail missing from the source. Playlist and YouTube Live links are not supported.
