What is a playlist downloader?
A playlist downloader saves many videos from one link. Rather than opening twenty videos and pasting twenty URLs, you paste the address of the playlist once. Clip Converter reads the list, shows each video with its title, thumbnail and duration, and lets you choose which ones to keep.
You decide once whether you want video (MP4) or audio (MP3), and that choice is applied to every item you select. Each file is saved separately under its own title, so the first videos are usable while the rest are still being prepared.
How to use the Playlist Downloader
- Paste the playlist link. Copy the playlist or channel URL, paste it on the Clip Converter homepage and press Get Clip.
- Choose MP4 or MP3. Pick Video (MP4) or Audio (MP3) once — it applies to every item in the list.
- Select and download. Tick the videos you want, or download them one by one. Each file shows its own progress.
Key features
- Up to 100 videos per link. Every video is listed with its title, thumbnail and duration so you can choose exactly what to keep.
- Video or audio. Save a course as MP4, or turn a music playlist into MP3 files in one pass.
- Queued automatically. Selected videos are queued and processed in order. You can see each item’s position and progress.
- Channels too. A channel’s Videos, Shorts or Streams page works the same way as a playlist.
Playlists, channels and what counts as one
Any public or unlisted YouTube playlist works, including the “Uploads” list that every channel has. A channel’s Videos, Shorts or Streams page is handled in the same way, which is useful when a creator has never organised their work into playlists.
Private playlists cannot be read, because they are only visible to the signed-in owner. If a playlist is yours, switch it to Unlisted for a moment, download, and switch it back.
Limits and how the queue works
The first 100 videos of a playlist are listed. That keeps the page fast and prevents accidental downloads of a channel with thousands of uploads. For longer playlists, work through them in parts or use the bulk tool with individual links.
Preparing a video takes real server work, especially at high resolution. To keep speeds reliable for everyone, files are processed a few at a time and the remainder wait in a queue. You can see the position and progress of every item, and queued files start on their own — you do not need to keep clicking.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the resolution for each video?
Playlist downloads use the best available quality so the list loads quickly. For a specific resolution, paste that single video’s link instead.
My playlist has more than 100 videos. What now?
The first 100 are listed. For the rest, split the playlist or paste individual links with the Bulk Downloader.
Do the files arrive as a ZIP?
No. Each video is saved as its own file, so you can start using the first ones while the others are still processing.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it is free, and there is no account, email or app to install. Paste a link and the tool works in your browser on any device.
Is it legal to use?
Saving content you created, own, or have permission to use is generally fine. Downloading copyrighted material without permission may breach the platform’s terms or local copyright law. You are responsible for how you use the files.
