Playlists

A whole playlist on one page, saved one video at a time

Up to 100 videos listed at once

Paste a playlist link and every video appears with its thumbnail and length. Choose MP4 or MP3 once, then save the ones you want without going back to YouTube for each link.

Separate files, not a ZIP

Each video saves as its own MP4 or MP3, so you keep only what you pick.

Courses and albums as MP3

Switch to Audio and a lecture series takes a fraction of the space.

Unlisted yes, private no

Unlisted playlists open fine; private ones need a login we never ask for.

Unavailable videos skipped

Private or deleted videos inside a playlist are passed over, not retried.

How to download a YouTube playlist

1

It contains list=; a video link that includes &list= works too.

2

Paste it above

The first 100 videos are listed with thumbnails and durations.

3

Set MP4 or MP3 once

The format and quality apply to the whole list.

4

Save the ones you want

One click per video, and each file downloads on its own.

Download YouTube playlists: video or audio

Downloading a 40-video playlist one link at a time is misery. This tool takes a playlist URL (the kind containing list=) and lets you work through its videos efficiently, as MP4 video or MP3 audio, with real file sizes and a live progress bar for each item.

The full walkthrough, including which format to pick per playlist type, is in our guide: how to download a whole YouTube playlist.

Practical tips for big playlists

  • Audio saves enormous space: a 50-lecture course at 128kbps MP3 is a few gigabytes; the same course in 1080p video is tens of gigabytes.
  • Pick 720p for phone viewing: about 40 percent smaller than 1080p in our tests and hard to tell apart on a small screen, which adds up across fifty videos. The per-resolution file sizes make that maths concrete.
  • Very long items (multi-hour videos inside a playlist) behave like any long video, a lower quality choice avoids timeouts.
  • Private and deleted videos inside a playlist are skipped. Nothing can fetch those; see why downloads fail.

Classic playlist use cases

  • Course and lecture series, take a whole semester offline for the commute.
  • Music playlists, convert freely licensed or your own mixes to MP3 in bulk.
  • Your channel's uploads. Every channel has an automatic "Uploads" playlist; it is the fastest way to back up your own content.
  • Podcast backlogs, shows published as YouTube playlists become an offline podcast feed.

YouTube Music playlists work too

Links copied from music.youtube.com are handled exactly like ordinary YouTube playlist links, so you can paste a playlist straight from YouTube Music, switch to MP3 and save the tracks you want at 320kbps. Mixes are the exception: those endless radio-style playlists, whose links start with RD, are generated for each listener as they play, so there is no fixed list to read. Private playlists need a signed-in account, and we never ask for yours, but unlisted ones work fine.

Official releases are also the tracks most often blocked by region. If a handful of songs in a playlist refuse to convert while the rest go through, that is almost always the reason, and it is decided by the rights holder rather than by anything on your side.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download a whole playlist?

Paste the playlist link (it contains list=). The tool lists every video with its thumbnail and duration, pick MP4 or MP3 and a quality once, then download the videos you want with one click each.

How many videos can it list?

The first 100 videos of a playlist are listed. For longer playlists, that covers the vast majority of real-world use, courses, albums and mixes.

Does it download everything as one file or ZIP?

No, each video downloads as its own MP4 or MP3 file, so you pick exactly what you want and every file plays anywhere.

Can I convert a music playlist to MP3?

Yes. Switch the format to Audio (MP3), pick a bitrate (320kbps for music), and download each track. Ideal for albums and freely licensed music collections.

Do private playlists or YouTube Mixes work?

No. Private playlists need a login we never ask for, and Mixes (radio playlists) are generated per-viewer so they cannot be read. Public and unlisted playlists work.

Got a playlist link?

Paste it above to see every video before you download any of them.
