TubeMate - Video Downloader

About TubeMate

TubeMate is the most popular video downloader for Android. It lets you save videos and audio directly to your phone so you can watch or listen later without needing an internet connection. No buffering, no data usage, just your content ready when you need it. It is a straightforward app. You find a video, pick the quality you want, and hit download. Everything else happens on its own.

Why people use it

Most people use TubeMate because they want their music and videos saved directly on their phone. You find a song, a music video, a live performance, or any clip you love and you just want it on your device without having internet every time. With TubeMate you can download it once and it is there forever — no internet needed, no buffering, no waiting for it to load. It works great for building a personal music library, saving concerts and live sets, or keeping your favourite albums and playlists ready to play offline. TubeMate lets you take your music with you wherever you go without using a single MB of mobile data.

Pick your quality before every download

Before downloading anything TubeMate shows you every available format and resolution so you can choose what works best for you. Here is what you can pick from:

• i. 1920×1080 Full HD MP4 - sharpest quality, great for bigger screens

• ii. 1280×720 HD MP4 - looks great on any phone, good balance of quality and size

• iii. 854×480 SD MP4 - smaller file, still perfectly fine on a phone screen

• iv. 240p MP4 - very small file size, useful when storage is tight

• v. WEBM - compressed format with good quality

• vi. MP3 - audio only, good for music and podcasts

• vii. AAC / M4A - another audio option with solid quality at small file sizes

Fast downloads

TubeMate uses multi-threaded downloading which means it pulls your file through several connections at once instead of just one. In practice this makes downloads up to three times faster than a standard downloader. Bigger files that used to take a few minutes are usually done much quicker.

Save just the audio

If you only want the audio from a video TubeMate can extract it and save it as an MP3 or M4A file straight to your device. No extra apps needed. It is a simple way to build an offline music collection without paying for a streaming service.

Downloads keep going in the background

Once you start a download you do not have to keep the app open. TubeMate runs in the background and finishes the download while you use your phone normally. You get a notification when it is done.

Download full playlists at once

Instead of saving videos one by one you can select an entire playlist and TubeMate will download everything automatically at the quality you choose. Much faster if you want to save a full series or album before going somewhere without wifi.
