More YouTube Download Options
Beyond MP3 and MP4 downloads, Vidx7 also lets you save YouTube video thumbnails, available subtitles, and trimmed clips.
Download YouTube Video Thumbnails
Save YouTube video thumbnails as JPG files in multiple sizes, including HD thumbnails up to 1280 x 720. It is a quick way to get thumbnail images for design reference, content organization, or video asset management.
Download YouTube Subtitles
Download available subtitles from YouTube videos and save them as SRT, VTT, or plain TXT files. SRT and VTT are ideal for video playback, editing, and subtitle work, while TXT removes timeline data for easier reading, translation, and note-taking.
Trim YouTube Videos
Drag the timeline to choose the start and end times, then save only the part of the YouTube video you need. Preview your selection before downloading, and export the clip as MP4 or MP3. Keep file sizes smaller, save key moments, and share the best parts with ease.
YouTube Download Format and Quality Guide
Choose a format based on your needs. Available options and file sizes vary by the original video and selected quality. Examples are based on a 5-minute YouTube video.
MP3 Audio Options
| Format | Quality | Estimated size | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP3 | 128 kbps | About 4-5 MB | Saving space, podcasts, and everyday listening |
| MP3 | 320 kbps | About 11-12 MB | Music and higher quality audio |
MP4 Video Options
| Format | Quality | Estimated size | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP4 | 360p-480p | About 15-25 MB | Small screens and limited storage |
| MP4 | 720p | About 35-45 MB | Balanced quality and file size |
| MP4 | 1080p | About 70-110 MB | Full HD viewing on phones and computers |
| MP4 | 2K-4K | About 300 MB - 1 GB | Large displays and high quality archives |
MP4 quality depends on the original YouTube video. Higher options such as 1080p, 2K, 4K, or 8K appear only when the source video provides them.
YouTube Download Troubleshooting
Most download issues come from the link, video availability, connection, or playback compatibility.
Video parsing failed
Make sure the link points to a single public video. Remove extra text around the URL, then try again. Private, deleted, age-restricted, or region-locked videos cannot be processed.
File download failed
Check your internet connection and free storage. If the download does not start, long-press the button and choose to save the link, or try another quality.
Playback problem
Some players do not support every codec. Try VLC or MX Player, or pick a different MP4 quality and download the file again.

Why is 1080p or 4K not available for my video?
Quality options come from the original upload. If the creator did not upload in 1080p, 4K or 8K, those options will not appear.
Can I download YouTube thumbnails larger than 1280 x 720?
Most videos provide thumbnails up to 1280 x 720. Larger sizes are only available when the creator uploaded one.
Why do not some YouTube videos have subtitles?
Subtitles are only available when the creator or YouTube provides them for that video.
Why does the trimmed YouTube clip not match the exact time I selected?
Video is stored in keyframe segments, so a clip can start or end a moment earlier or later than the exact time selected.
