YouTube video downloader for Firefox
Download YouTube videos in the quality you choose, save whole playlists, keep Premium quality and dubbed audio tracks, convert videos to MP3 and record LIVE streams — all inside Firefox. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
YouTube features require Firefox and the getvy Firefox extension. They are not available in the Chrome extension.
Free. No sign-up. Works in Firefox 128 or newer.
What you can save from YouTube
- YouTube video downloads — choose an available quality and save the video.
- YouTube playlist downloads — select videos from a playlist and download them in sequence.
- YouTube Premium quality — requires a signed-in Premium account and a video offering that quality.
- Dubbed YouTube videos — select an available audio language before downloading.
- YouTube to MP3 — save a video’s audio as an MP3 file.

Three steps to save a video.
- Open the video on youtube.com in Firefox and press play.

Good to know
- Premium quality and dubbed audio tracks appear only when the video offers them and, for Premium, you are signed in to a Premium account.
- For LIVE recording, keep the YouTube tab open and playing until you stop the recording.
- Large downloads are assembled in your browser. Free disk space and a stable connection matter more than CPU speed.
Frequently asked questions
Why is YouTube downloading only in the Firefox version?
Chrome Web Store policy does not allow extensions that download from YouTube, so the Chrome and Edge builds of getvy do not include YouTube code at all. Firefox Add-ons permits it, so the Firefox extension has the full feature set.
Are videos uploaded to a server?
No. getvy fetches the streams directly from YouTube in your browser and saves the file locally. No account and no server-side processing.
Can I download a whole playlist?
Yes. Open the playlist, choose the videos you want in getvy, and they download one after another.
Why doesn't a video appear in the list?
Refresh the page and press play again. Age-restricted or members-only videos must be playable in your signed-in Firefox session first.
