First released as beta and later transformed into a proper application, 4K Video Downloader Plus is a next generation of a video downloader and converter millions use across the globe.

Despite the common misconception that the two apps are totally identical and the only difference is the looks, the new rendition has extended functionality. Yes, both 4K Video Downloader and 4K Video Downloader Plus have some common features, but the new code base allows us to add more updates to 4K Video Downloader Plus functionality and develop it further. As such, the new app has access to a larger amount of private content, not just the one of YouTube as the old 4K Video Downloader does. It also lets you save private videos from Bilibili and other platforms that require a login to access some content.

But that’s not all. Here’s why else you should opt for the new rendition of your favourite downloader.

Native Support of Apple Silicon Chip

4K Video Downloader Plus now leverages the perks of the Apple Silicon chips, especially when it comes to faster startup after each update installation. If you’re a Mac user, we strongly recommend you switch to 4K Video Downloader Plus, at least for this only reason. To do that, simply visit our official website.

In-App Browser

The browser within the app allows you to search for videos and audio right in the application and download them without leaving 4K Video Downloader Plus. All you need to do is click on any platform’s icon and start searching for content by entering keywords or the name of the video. But that alone isn't the best thing the in-app browser can do.

The greatest part is that it lets you sign in to a site and access audio and video that are available only after logging in. Thus, you can download more private content from even more sites, not just YouTube!

Smart Mode

First of all, Smart Mode is now easier to find and adjust in 4K Video Downloader Plus. You simply switch it on or off on top of the main app’s window and set all the settings you want. If you want to turn them off, just switch it again.

And again, that’s not all. In case you don’t know which formats can be played on your OS, just select the OS in Smart Mode instead of a format. 4K Video Downloader Plus will automatically select the format your operating system supports, and you'll have no hard time playing it on your device.

Download YouTube Search Results

Another perk of the new app is that you can download YouTube search results directly with 4K Video Downloader Plus! The app lets you search for content on YouTube and instantly save the top results. Here's how it works:

Launch 4K Video Downloader Plus and access the in-app browser.
Click the YouTube icon to open the site directly within the app.

Enter your search query in the search bar and choose the result you want.

Click Download, and the app will process the top search results.

Tap Download Videos to save them on your device.

Download Dubbed YouTube Audio Tracks

Download YouTube videos along with their dubbed audio tracks in multiple languages is another feature 4K Video Downloader Plus stands out for. This functionality allows you to enjoy videos with the audio track of your choice, providing a personalised experience for viewers worldwide.

There are two ways to do it: Smart Mode and Manual Mode. Here's how each method works:

How to Download Dubbed YouTube Audio in Smart Mode

Smart Mode allows you to preset your preferred languages, streamlining the download process. However, the availability of matching audio tracks depends on the video and may not always match your preset.

Open 4K Video Downloader Plus.
Adjust Smart Mode Settings:

Click on the Download section in the Smart Mode toolbar.
Expand the Audio Tracks option to view the list of available languages.
Select specific languages or choose All Tracks to download every available option.

3. Find the video you want to download, copy the link, and paste it into the app. The video and its dubbed audio tracks in your selected languages will start downloading automatically. It will then be saved to your computer.

Tip: Check if the video supports your selected language by clicking the Settings button under the YouTube video and reviewing the audio track options.

That’s it! The YouTube video, along with the dubbed audio tracks in all selected languages, will be downloaded to your computer in no time.

How to Download Dubbed YouTube Audio in Manual Mode

Manual Mode offers greater flexibility by allowing you to choose from available dubbed tracks for each individual video.

Open 4K Video Downloader Plus.
Ensure the video has dubbed audio tracks available on YouTube, then copy the video link.
Click the Paste Link button in the downloader.
In the settings window, toggle the Audio Tracks option.

Choose specific languages from the drop-down list or select All Tracks to download every available option.
Choose the desired video quality and output folder.
Click Download to save the video along with the selected dubbed audio tracks.

Easy Downloads Management

Owing to the code refactoring we briefly mentioned above and to switch between the stacks easier, you now can sort your downloads by date and name. In addition, the downloads can be sorted by type—Video, Audio, Playlists, Channels, Subscription, and All. It’s very handy if you have lots of content of different types.

4K Video Downloader Plus also has a search field that allows you to conveniently look for a particular video.
