Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an easy and reliable way to download clips of YouTube vids directly to my laptop gallery.
Are there any recommended apps, methods, or safe websites that I can use? I'm specifically looking for something that won’t introduce any viruses or malware. I’ve heard about some websites like y2mate.com and savefrom.net that are generally considered safe, but I’m open to other suggestions.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

You can use Y2mate for this purpose. All you need to do is to open the web site and paste video url in it. Rest will be done automatically.

I'm using Termux and youtube-dl python script. Here you have steps to install required software.
Install Termux https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
Run Termux and paste following commands:
apt update
apt install python
pip install youtube-dl
Now you can download movies from YT
youtube-dl <link to YouTube movie>
But this is not comfortable way. Here are more steps to make it more user friendly.
- Create dir in home:
mkdir ~/bin
- Create file with your favorite editor. My is
vimso I used it
vim ~/bin/termux-url-opener
- Paste following content:
youtube-dl $1
and save file.
- Make file executable:
chmod 700 ~/bin/termux-url-opener
- Make Termux internal storage accessible.
termux-setup-storage
Accept access for Termux to internal storage
- Create config file for youtube-dl:
mkdir -p ~/.config/youtube-dl
vim ~/.config/youtube-dl/config
- Paste following config:
-o /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/movies/%(uploader)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s
Now if you want to save movie from YT simply open YouTube app, find movie, tap Share and choose Termux.
Movie will be saved in Movies directory in internal storage.
