How it works

  2. Paste the canonical youtube.com, youtube-nocookie.com, or youtu.be URL.
  3. Choose Video, Audio, or Muted mode and download the resolved file.

Public-link rule

Private, age-restricted, DRM-protected, member-only, or account-gated YouTube videos are not supported.

Example URL shape: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/public-video-id

  • Start with Video for public YouTube posts that include visuals.
  • Choose Audio only when you need the soundtrack and the source exposes audio.
  • Choose Muted video when the visual clip matters and audio is not needed.

YouTube URL and API support

CEYN detects public YouTube URLs by host, keeps the request public-only, and exposes the same capability profile through the downloader API for integrations.

POST JSON with url, quality, downloadMode, and audioFormat. The GET endpoint returns the current public support profile.

Choose the right YouTube output

Video

Use Video for the normal public YouTube media file, including clips, posts, and videos with their available sound.

Choose Best quality first; lower the request if the public source does not provide 2160p.

Audio

Use Audio when you need the public YouTube soundtrack, voice note, music clip, or spoken content without the video track.

Audio output is available only when the public source exposes an audio stream.

Muted video

Use Muted video when you need the visual public YouTube clip without embedded sound.

Muted output depends on the platform resolver and the source media format.

Responsible public YouTube downloads

Use public URLs

Paste a post, video, clip, pin, or track URL that opens without signing in. CEYN does not bypass private, account-gated, or DRM-protected media.

Check your rights

Download only media you own, created, have permission to save, or are otherwise allowed to use.

Keep the source link

If a download fails, retry with the canonical public YouTube URL instead of a feed, profile, search, or private-share page.

Convert your YouTube download after saving it

When the public download is yours to use, these converters help prepare the saved file for editing, sharing, playback, upload forms, or audio extraction.

Common YouTube URL blockers

Check these before retrying. They are the most common reasons a public YouTube link cannot produce a downloadable file.

  • YouTube asks for sign-in, membership, password, or private-account access.
  • The copied link is a profile, feed, playlist, search result, or share wrapper instead of a media permalink.
  • The post was deleted, region-blocked, rate-limited, DRM-protected, or does not expose the requested output stream.

Troubleshooting public YouTube downloads

Check 1

Confirm the YouTube URL opens in a private browser window without sign-in.

Check 2

Paste the canonical media page instead of a profile, feed, playlist, search, or share wrapper.

Check 3

Retry once at Best quality, then choose a lower quality or a different public source URL.
