Key Takeaways:

After purchase, users can download movies from YouTube directly on Android and iOS devices. YouTube doesn't support an official method to download movies on computer. If you need to download movies from YouTube to your computer, you should seek alternative methods like third-party download software like EaseUS Video Downloader or an online website.

How to Download Purchased YouTube Movies on PC

Lucky you. The transfer from mobile to PC is a little hassle for most users, and it is really time-wasting. In this part, I'd like to introduce two methods that can help you download movies from YouTube to your computer directly. 

If somebody or brands upload a movie, you can use a third-party application to download the movie from YouTube to Windows or Mac. Besides using a third-party video or movie downloader, there are some other options for you, like online video downloaders or plugins.

Method 1. Download Movies from YouTube with Third-party Software

EaseUS Video Downloader is a video downloader for PC, helping you to save videos to your PC from the Internet. It can download free movies uploaded to YouTube and also download long YouTube videos to MP4 and MP3. Considering the potential risk and stability, a desktop video downloader from a decent company will be the preferred choice. 

🥳As an excellent video downloader, EaseUS Video Downloader can:

  • Download YouTube videos to PC, no matter how long the video is;
  • Save videos from over 1,000 video-sharing sites;
  • Convert videos to MP3 in high quality;
  • Download music from sites like SoundCloud.

EaseUS Video Downloader can also help download and convert YouTube playlists. It supports downloading content from YouTube well.

✅Now, let's come to the detailed steps to download free YouTube movies.

Step 1. Customize the video format and quality from the dropdown.

Step 2. Copy the YouTube URL and click "Paste Link" on EaseUS Video Downloader.

Step 3. Wait for the downloading process to finish and then click "Open" to check the YouTube video.

Method 2. Download Movies from YouTube with Online Website

If you don't feel like an extra installation on your computer, an online download website for YouTube is a great choice for you. However, as I mentioned above, an online site is not as stable as software for a PC. If you can bear with the instability and unwanted ads, you can continue for steps. 

✅The steps actually resemble each other. Here, I will take SSYouTube as an example to show you the detailed steps. 

Step 1. Go to the YouTube movie page first. You will find the URL from the top address bar. Press "Windows + C" or "Command + C" to copy the link. 

Step 2. Go to the official site of SSYouTube. Paste the video link and click the "Download" button.

Step 3. You can choose the desired movie format and quality in this step. After making your decision, click the "Download" button beside the specific format and quality. Then, the website will begin to download it. You can find the downloaded files on your local file location now.
