Questions
Is it an MP3?
It's an M4A, the audio format YouTube itself uses. It plays on every iPhone, Android phone and computer, just like an MP3, and keeps YouTube's original sound quality because nothing is converted. If you need an MP3, use the YouTube to MP3 page.
Where does the file go on iPhone?
Into the Files app, under Downloads. Open it there to play it, or share it to another app.
Can I download a whole playlist?
No, one video at a time. Open the video you want from the playlist and copy its own link.
Why won't some videos download?
Age-restricted, private, members-only and some region-locked videos can't be fetched, and neither can live streams while they are live.
Is KeepClip free?
Yes. No account, no app, no pop-ups. Please only download audio you own or have permission to use.
