Features of Open Video Downloader

Download your favorite clips easily

When you launch the Open Video Downloader program, a clear, simple yet stylish user interface will greet you. The top part of the app contains an efficient search bar in which you can paste video URLs obtained from various websites it supports. Multiple videos, playlists, or channels can be downloaded simultaneously. Just place the link and press the + button to start importing the file.

Once the metadata fetching process is finished, all the details including thumbnail, title, media type, video quality, duration, and size will be displayed. The size may vary as it gives you several quality and media type options. You can choose to receive both video + audio or just audio. At the same time, you can choose the video quality you like from a variety of choices it offers.

On top of that, you can also get subtitles if it's integrated into the content you want to save. To download multiple clips at once, just press the green Download button below the screen.
