Go to the video you want on Youtube.com.
Find the movie that you want to download and convert. You can do this in the mobile YouTube app or at YouTube.com.
Copy the video's URL.
The steps to copy the URL are different depending on your device. If you're using a web browser, right-click the URL in the address bar and select Copy. If you're using the mobile app, tap the Share icon below the video and choose Copy link.
Search Google for a free converter website.
Choose one of the many conversion sites. Search for "convert YouTube to MP4" and you'll find a lot of free sites willing to help out. Some of the most reputable options include OnlineVideoConverter, ClipConverter, YouTubeInMP4, and YtdDownloader. You can use whatever site you want, but stay away from sites that have the following hallmarks of scams: Demanding personal information. Most sites will require nothing but the YouTube URL. Numerous pop-ups. Payment requests. The sites should be free. Forced download of programs or converters. While there are programs you can download to get YouTube videos, sites without downloads are much safer.
Paste the URL and choose "MP4."
Once you find a converter, add the video's URL and set the conversion method to MP4. Depending on the site, the method may already be set to MP4. Most sites let you input the artists, the name of the video, and any other information you might want to help sort the file when you download it. Change it to your liking, then edit the video quality to fit your desire. The higher the video quality, the bigger the resulting MP4 file.
