Step by step
How do you choose video download quality?
-

-
Paste a supported video link into Podalls Downloader.
-
Choose quality when the options appear, then click Download.
-
Open the completed file, or find it in your selected folder.
What you get
And why it matters.
-
Six ways to save it
Best, 1080p, 720p, 480p and 360p, or audio only. Your choice is remembered for the next link.
-
Picture and sound, joined
When the source keeps picture and sound apart, the included FFmpeg joins them into one MP4.
-
Made to play
H.264 video is preferred where the source offers it, so common players can open the file.
-
Nothing left behind
Temporary pieces go in a hidden folder that is removed afterwards, even when you cancel.
Honest limits
No surprises.
What this version does not do, said plainly.
- One video per link. A link from inside a playlist saves the video it points to, not the whole list.
- Downloads cannot be paused yet. Cancel and Retry start a video again from the beginning.
- A private, removed or members-only video cannot be downloaded.
- Dedicated video handling currently recognises YouTube addresses; it does not support every video website. For other sites, use a direct link to the video file.
- Only download content when you have the necessary rights and the source permits downloading. Public access does not by itself grant permission to download or reuse content.

Questions
Choose video download quality, answered.
4 answers
Something not working? Every message the app shows, explained.
What does Best mean?
It asks for the best available quality under the app’s format preferences. It does not promise the highest resolution listed by every player or source.
Can it download a playlist?
No. The current app processes one video per link.
Will every video link work?
No. Dedicated video handling currently recognises YouTube addresses; it does not support every video website. For other sites, use a direct link to the video file. Availability, and permission to download, depend on the source.
Where are the files saved?
In your selected save folder, Downloads unless you choose another. A file already there is never replaced: a new one gets a numbered name.
Then convert it
Straight into Podalls Convert.
Every finished download has a Convert button that opens the file in Podalls Convert, free and on your PC.
- Downloader finds Convert
It looks for Podalls Convert when it starts. Settings, under Converting, says where it found it.
- Every finished download gets a Convert button
Next to Open and Show in folder. No saving, finding and dragging.
- Convert takes it from there
As if you had dropped the file on its Tools page: a video or picture opens its dialog, a PDF does what your Dropped PDFs setting says.
