Top Way to Download Video from Website [2024]

Sometimes you may get no access to the network; sometimes you are about to use up your mobile data. You thus seek every way to download videos to watch offline.

There are many methods to download video from website.

Most video websites provide direct ways to get downloads while others, like YouTube, set restrictions to downloads unless you pay for its premium.

Then, is it possible to find out some free tools to download video from any website?

Certainly!

Some people like using Chrome extensions; others prefer to use video downloader software or app.

Both are free. Which one do you like better?

Below, I will introduce them to you in detail and recommend the safest and easiest way to you.

Part 1. Download Video from Website with Chrome Extension 

First, let’s come to Chrome extensions.

Google Chrome has equipped itself with many lightweight extensions or add-ons, like Youtube downloader y2mate & keepvid.

Many people like Chrome extensions because they are lightweight. But it is a pity that most extensions currently have been banned from downloading YouTube videos. After testing them one by one, I found only a few surviving, such as Youtube downloader y2mate & keepvid.

So, here I will show you how to download a video from a website with Chrome extensions.

Let’s take “Youtube downloader y2mate&keepvid” for example.

Note: It is a little bit complicated. If you want an easier method, just skip this and go to the second part.

(Suppose that you have added the extension to your Chrome)

• Open your favorite YouTube video; click the extension icon on the top right corner to activate a small pop-up window and click “Download MP4”;
• Click “Download” beside the search bar after you see YouTube video link has been added;
• Choose the video quality you prefer and click the green icon “Download MP4 720p”.

Done!

Undoubtedly, some Chrome extensions help you to download videos conveniently and easily. But extension is a double-edged sword because we unavoidably bear the risk of giving away our login data, and personal information.

For this reason, I want to introduce to you another free and safer video downloader, AnyVid.

I believe you will like it!
