Playlist URL or video URLs

⚡ Advanced — real file downloads via your own server (optional)

A browser alone cannot save video files from most platforms. If you run your own cobalt server (free & open-source), connect it below once — it is stored only in YOUR browser, and file downloads then run entirely through YOUR server, never through ours. Set a primary (e.g. an always-on Oracle Cloud free VPS) and optionally a Render/Koyeb backup — if the primary is asleep or offline, downloads switch to the backup automatically. Only save content you own or have the right to keep.

Free always-on server (Oracle Cloud, no sleep) + free Render backup in ~10 minutes, exact settings: full step-by-step guide →

How to use

Paste playlist URL (or comma-separated video URLs).
Press Expand — cards stream in.
Export CSV / Markdown.

About this tool

Bulk 'downloader' tools usually rip streams — illegal and against ToS. The genuinely useful legal job is index expansion: paste a playlist link and this tool parses the video IDs, fetches an oEmbed card for each (title/author/thumb), and lets you export the whole index as CSV or Markdown for research, archiving your own uploads, or watch-later workflows. It is the professional archivist's version of a playlist downloader.

FAQ

Does it download videos?

No — it expands and exports the index; downloading streams violates ToS.

How many videos per run?

Up to 50 cards per expansion to stay polite to oEmbed.

Can I use it for my own uploads?

Perfect use-case — archive your channel's playlists.

Export formats?

CSV and Markdown, one click.

Private?

Yes — only oEmbed metadata is fetched, no accounts.
