There are quite a few tools that allow you to download videos from YouTube or other platforms, but not all of them are equal. 1qvid is a really well-designed and very clever tool that will allow you to very easily download videos from YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Instagram, Twitter, Dailymotion and even Pornhub.
Download a video with 1qvid
1qvid is very very easy to use and 100% free.
Get the URL of the video you want to retrieve from the platform of your choice.
Paste it in the dedicated field and press “Download”.
The site will run for a few moments and offer you all the qualities available at download for your video, but also the possibility of downloading only the audio (in different formats) or only the video without sound! Concerning the audio, we will still regret the absence of an mp3 format.
The choice of formats and qualities will obviously depend on the original video, but the tool will offer you everything it can find.
Download Youtube or other videos even faster
Finally, a little tip that should save you a lot of time: just add "1q" in front of the domain name of the URL of the video you want to download to immediately start downloading it on 1qvid.
For example, here is an original YouTube link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRX30_SDYjY
which you can transform like this to start the download:
https://www.1qyoutube.com/watch?v=CRX30_SDYjY
Press “Enter” on your keyboard and you’re done! This also works with other platforms supported by this tool.
Note that there is also an extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera and Yandex to add a button download directly on the video pages.
In short, I have tested many tools to download videos from various platforms and 1qvid is definitely one of my favorites for two reasons: the "1q" shortcut which saves a lot of time and the ability to download any format, including the audio-only version!
1qvid has quickly found a place of choice among my web browser favorites and will undoubtedly be among my favorites of the year!
