Full Video Downloader: how it works

  1. 01

    Paste the YouTube link into EzCutter above.

  2. 02

    Set the start and end of the section you want — up to three minutes free, or ten with Pro.

  3. 03

    Choose a resolution — up to 1080p free, 1440p and 4K with Pro.

  4. 04

    Download the MP4. Long videos take longer to process, so keep the tab open.

Longer clips with Pro

Free clips on EzCutter are capped at three minutes. Pro raises that to ten minutes per clip — enough for a full segment, a talk or a long highlight — in up to 4K where the source allows it. With batch clipping you can cut several sections of a long video in one go.

Pro is a simple 30-day pass rather than a subscription, and it also unlocks 256/320 kbps MP3 audio.

Often you don't need the whole thing

Long-form videos are long. If you're after one segment of a stream or a single chapter of a course, cutting only that part is faster, uses less storage and skips editing later. Paste the chapter timestamps from the description straight into the start and end fields — EzCutter understands formats like 1:02:30.

Clips up to three minutes are free, so highlights, quotes and chapters under that length cost nothing.

Audio-only for long listens

For podcasts and talks you'll only listen to, switch to MP3 Audio. Full-length MP3 audio is free at 128 kbps with no length limit, and the file is a fraction of the size of the video.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download a full YouTube video for free?

Free video clips are up to three minutes, and Pro clips up to ten. Full-length MP3 audio is free at 128 kbps.

How long does a long video take?

Processing time grows with length and resolution. A few minutes of 1080p is quick; a multi-hour 4K video takes considerably longer.

Does it work with livestream replays?

Finished livestreams that are available as regular videos work. Streams that are still live can't be downloaded.

Can I clip any YouTube video?
