Universal Video Downloader
Download HD videos & playlists from YouTube and 1000+ sites
Universal Video Downloader is a portable software utility that provides a seamless way to download high-quality videos or entire playlists from YouTube, Facebook, and hundreds of other supported platforms - ▶️YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok. 📸Instagram. X. Facebook..etc, ✅Downloads playlists with index numbering ✅Supports cookies and Deno ✅Just paste a link → download. ✅Powered by yt-dlp + FFmpeg(installs on autopilot)
Super excited to share Universal Video Downloader with you all today!
If you’ve ever tried to download a video for offline archiving, an automated playlist backup, or quick design references, you probably know the struggle. You either have to wrestle with command-line arguments in yt-dlp, or risk your system’s health using sketchy web downloaders packed with pop-ups, trackers, and hidden paywalls for high-res downloads.
I built this app because I wanted a third option: a clean, lightweight, 100% open-source desktop app that brings the raw power of the best CLI tools into a beautiful, simple user interface. No ads, no speed limits, and zero bloat.
🔥 Key Features at a Glance:
Zero Installation: It’s a completely portable, single-file executable built on modern .NET 10.
Smart Background Setup: It automatically handles the tricky stuff—like auto-updating yt-dlp binaries and configuring ffmpeg behind the scenes so your downloads never break.
Heavy-Duty Archiving: Drop in a massive multi-video playlist, and it will cleanly parse, organize, and sequentially number every track into local folders.
Advanced Controls: Clean process management (hitting 'Stop' actually kills background processes instantly) and secure cookie processing for private or age-restricted content.
The project is fully open-source under GPLv3, and the code is available for anyone to audit, fork, or contribute to on GitHub.

I would love to get the Product Hunt community's feedback on this.
What platforms or features would you like to see supported natively next?
