About 4Tube Downloader
4Tube serves millions of free videos across dozens of categories, yet none of them come with a save button. Browser-based rippers rarely work on the site, and the ones that do tend to inject ads or cap quality at 480p.
4Tube Downloader is a lightweight browser extension that solves the problem cleanly. Visit any video on 4Tube, and the extension parses the player to identify every available stream. Pick the quality you prefer, hit download, and the video saves as a standard MP4 directly to your computer. Want to grab a batch? Stack URLs in the queue and let the tool work through them automatically while you step away.
The entire process stays on your machine. There are no intermediary servers, no temporary cloud uploads, and absolutely no usage tracking. Your downloads, your folders, your business. Configurable output paths and naming rules mean your library stays organized from day one. Compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Happy Users
Recent customer feedback
Short, practical feedback from people using 4Tube Downloader in real workflows.
Works where online rippers fail
Tried a few online rippers for 4Tube and they all failed or capped at 480p. This extension grabbed 1080p instantly. The queue feature is a nice bonus for building a collection.

Truly private downloads
The local-only approach sold me. I verified with a network monitor and there are zero outbound connections beyond the 4Tube CDN. Exactly what I want for private archiving.

Automated organization is great
Folder templates keep my archive sorted without any manual effort. The retry logic also saved me when my Wi-Fi dropped twice during a large batch session.
