How to Save YouTube Videos or Music on Android is a post by Cory Gunther from Gotta Be Mobile.
Recently Google has made a lot of changes to YouTube, and a few of them are options like saving videos for viewing while offline, or even background playback where videos or music continues to play even while you’re not on the YouTube app itself. We get a lot of questions about YouTube content, and here we’ll explain how to save YouTube videos or music to your Android device.
To be clear, Google doesn’t approve of users saving videos or music from YouTube to their Android devices, as this is technically piracy. However, they do allow certain videos to be temporarily saved to their device for later playback with a feature that allows you to pin content to your device to view while offline, as there are moments owners don’t have an internet connection.

The offline playback feature is one users have been wanting for a long time, and last year Google finally delivered it. However, not all videos or content can be saved for playback while offline. The feature works great some of the time, but those wanting to do it with any and all videos or music, we’ll explain how below.
There are plenty of apps available like YouTube Ripper that will pull content from YouTube to your device, but again, this is illegal and Google or Apple quickly removes these from Google Play or the App Store. They pop up here and there, but are quickly removed from their respective app stores.
We’ll say this one more time. Using some of the apps or services below are illegal, and Google doesn’t allow users to steal content from YouTube, whether that be video or audio, and copy them to their devices. That said, you can do so if you’d like, and it’s extremely easy. Users can save entire videos to their device, or even pull music right from a video, and download the MP3 file to their Android smartphone or tablet.
Instructions
First off we’ll explain the legal and Google-allowed system, which is saving videos for later playback. Certain videos that support this feature will have a download arrow just below the video on your device. Tap this and select the resolution you’d like to save, and you’re done. Then just go into the menu bar on the left and select “Watch later” to find your list of saved videos to enjoy.
However, if you want to download a video or save a song for good, you can do that too. There are countless different apps available to rip content from YouTube directly to your Android device, but rather than link to apps that aren’t available from the Google Play Store, or from shady sources, we’ve gathered a few simple websites that will do this for you. All you need is the URL from YouTube, and you’re all set.
While viewing a YouTube video just tap the 3-dotted “Share” button and on the popup that appears select “Copy URL”. This is what you need, then navigate to websites like YouTube-MP3.org or clipconverter.cc and paste in that link. Usually within seconds they’ll convert the video, and deliver a MP3 of the music, or a full video clip for the user to download and save to their Android smartphone or tablet.
Once you’ve pasted the URL you just copied into the site like YouTube-MP3 simply hit convert, then download. From here you’re all done and the song has been saved to your smartphone. This same process is very easy to do from a PC or laptop, but just as easy on Android smartphones and tablets. Clipconverter even lets you select the conversion format to suite your needs.

Searching for “video downloader” or “Youtube Downloader” on the Google Play Store may also get you a few good apps that can do this with a mobile-friendly format, but the websites linked to above work great.
You now have whatever song or video you’ve downloaded. From here you can enjoy the videos, or even use music to create your own custom ringtones from the how to above. Whether you decide to do this or not is up to you. Enjoy!
