Downloader (youtube-dl-gui) \u003cbr\u003e ![version badge](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui?label=latest-release) ![GitHub](https://img.shields.io/github/license/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui) ![downloads](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/total) \n[https://jely2002.github.io/youtube-dl-gui](https://jely2002.github.io/youtube-dl-gui)\n\nOpen Video Downloader is a simple, cross-platform desktop application that lets you download videos, audio, subtitles and metadata from hundreds of supported websites, not just YouTube.  \nIt provides an easy-to-use interface around [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) so you don’t have to touch the command line.\n\n\n## Features\n\n- **Cross-platform:** works on Windows, macOS and Linux.\n- **Audio or video downloads:** grab full videos or extract only the audio track.\n- **Subtitles and metadata:** automatically saves available captions and video information.\n- **Quality control:** choose your preferred resolution, frame rate, and output format like MP4 or MKV.\n- **Playlists:** download entire playlists in one go.\n- **Custom output:** set your download location and control filenames using presets or custom templates.\n- **Smart queueing:** OVD balances multiple downloads automatically so your computer doesn’t slow down.\n- **Authentication:** supports browser cookie files, basic auth and video passwords.\n- **Automatic updates:** both the app and yt-dlp are kept up to date automatically.\n- **Light and dark mode:** adapts to your system theme with clear progress and error handling.\n- **Shortcuts:** queue and download videos using shortcuts, stay up-to-date on progress with notifications.\n\n## Download\n\nThe latest versions for **Windows**, **macOS** and **Linux** are available on the  \n[GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/releases).\n\nDownload the installer or archive for your platform and follow the normal installation steps.  \nNo command-line setup is required.\n\n#### What file do I download?\n| Your Computer                         | Download                                       |\n|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------|\n| **Windows**                           | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x_x64-setup.exe`    |\n| **Mac (Intel)**                       | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x_x64.dmg`          |\n| **Mac (Apple Silicon – M1, M2 … M5)** | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x_aarch64.dmg`      |\n| **Linux generic (x64)**               | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage`   |\n| **Linux generic (aarch64)**           | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x_aarch64.AppImage` |\n| **Linux Debian/Ubuntu (x64)**         | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x_amd64.deb`        |\n| **Linux Debian/Ubuntu (aarch64)**     | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x_arm64.deb`        |\n| **Linux Fedora/RHEL (x64)**           | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x-x_amd64.rpm`      |\n| **Linux Fedora/RHEL (aarch64)**       | `Open.Video.Downloader_x.x.x-x_aarch64.rpm`    |\n\n## How it works\n\nOpen Video Downloader uses a front-end built with Vue 3 and a Rust backend powered by [Tauri](https://tauri.app/).  \nWhen you add a video or playlist, the app communicates with yt-dlp to fetch information, process options and start the download.  \nThe download progress and any errors are displayed in the app.\n\n## Contributing\n\nDevelopers are welcome to contribute.  \nYou’ll need Node.js (v24+) and Rust installed.\n\n```\nnpm install\nnpm run tauri dev\n```\n\nFor more details, see [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## License and disclaimer\n\nOpen Video Downloader is distributed under the
