EVDownloader

Saving YouTube videos locally is more difficult that your would expect, even if you rely on a specialized program to perform this operation. Video grabbers are often rather complex, and just configuring them is sometimes frustrating.

EVDownloader, on the other hand, keeps things as simple as possible, providing you with a quick and easy method of downloading videos or extracting audio tracks. Of course, it does not offer any advanced features, but it is a great choice for novices.

The application’s minimalistic design works to its advantage when it comes to adding YouTube URLs, as you only need to copy them to the clipboard, click the designated field and press the Get Video button.

Depending on the clip you wish to download, a certain number of output video formats and resolutions will be available, and you also have the option of only saving audio tracks.

However, it must be noted that EVDownloader does not support resolutions above 720p, so it is not suitable for grabbing 1080p, 2K or 4K videos.

This program is a smart choice for users who wish to download individual videos without too much effort, but it does not allow you to queue multiple items or grab every clip from a certain playlist.

The application cannot be minimized or sent to the system tray once it is launched, so it needs to be closed after each download operation to avoid cluttering your desktop.

Nevertheless, despite not offering a wide range of features, EVDownloader may be preferred by users who prefer not to make the simple task of grabbing a YouTube video unnecessarily complex.

In conclusion, this application offers a reliable alternative to more complicated YouTube downloaders, enabling you to save a video or song locally in a matter of seconds. It is not exactly packed with features, but it does a good job of streamlining the entire process.
