How to Download YouTube Videos to MP4 in 1080p

👉How can I download YouTube videos to MP4 in 1080p/HD without losing quality?

• Copy the video page link first and launch EaseUS Video Downloader, the YouTube to MP4 software for PC.
• Choose the video format and set the quality to 1080p, 4K, or 8K. (For convenience, set the format as Best instead.)
• Click 'Paste Link,' and it will convert the YouTube link to MP4 1080p, saved locally on your computer.

1080p, also known as FHD, indicates a resolution with 1920 pixels displayed across a screen horizontally and 1080 pixels vertically. A video in 1080p, although not of the best quality, could bring you a good viewing experience. Therefore, if you don't have an extra high demand for video quality, the 1080p resolution will be suitable in most cases. That's probably why you want to convert YouTube to MP4 in 1080p.

To download YouTube to 1080p videos, there is an ocean of MP4 converters available for help. However, their qualities vary, and you should pick them up carefully so that you can save the YouTube video in HD. To help you get things done, here I'd like to show you how to use different YouTube MP4 downloaders. Read on to check the details and carry out the way best suited to your needs.

It is also advisable to get MP4 from YouTube using one of the video downloader extensions:

Step 3. Search for and then play the video you'd like to download.

Step 4. Now, you will see a 'Download' button under the video. Click the 'More' icon next to it and choose the 1080p quality to download. If you don't see the button, click the extension icon from the browser toolbar and then choose the 1080p MP4 option to save.

Method 3. How to Convert YouTube to 1080p MP4 Online

If you don't want to download anything, either a program or an extension, using an online video MP4 downloader is probably your preferred choice. However, in addition to the flaws mentioned above, like being filled with ads and redirection, there are other disadvantages. For example, some of them may fail to analyze the video address to obtain the video resource. While others may be quite slow and take a long time to download a video.

If you still prefer such a tool, you can search on the Internet and find the one you trust to apply. Here are the specific steps for how you can use an online website to convert YouTube to 1080p.

Step 1. There are many YouTube video download websites on Google. You can search for one like SStube online.

Step 2. Go to the YouTube video page that you'd like to download. Copy the URL from its address bar. Then, go back to the online download site and paste the URL into the blank bar.

Step 3. The website will begin to analyze the video link and give you some options for the download setting. After you choose the format and quality, click 'Download' again, and the video will be saved to your computer.
