What you can download from YouTube
Dingdok handles the content types YouTube actually serves — choose one and it is filed automatically.
Maximum quality
up to 4K
Dingdok picks the best resolution YouTube serves at parse time — 4K for this site. The app never upscales or re-encodes.
Three steps, once
Paste a link
A YouTube video, playlist, or channel URL. Collections expand automatically.
Pick a quality
Set the ceiling for this task, or keep the default “highest available” rule.
Archive automatically
Dingdok downloads, names, and files it using your folder template — and resumes if anything drops.
YouTube: quality and format
| Content | Quality | Format | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Video | up to 4K | MP4 / MKV | Source quality, as served. |
| Playlists | up to 4K | MP4 / MKV | Expanded automatically into a batch queue. |
| Subtitles | up to 4K | SRT / VTT | Saved as a sidecar file when available. |
Formats and quality follow what the source actually serves at parse time and may change.

Dingdok only uses what YouTube serves publicly. If a post needs a login, the app says so instead of bypassing it — the status label on this page shows what is required today.
What is the highest quality I can get from YouTube? +
The ceiling is 4K — whatever YouTube actually serves when you download. Subtitles and thumbnails are saved when the source provides them.
