How to Download YouTube Playlists Using 4K Video Downloader

The ability to download a playlist is helpful if you’re going to be traveling, want to save your cellular data, or you’re anticipating being without the internet for a period of time. Fortunately, the 4K Downloader is one of those tools that can help! In this article, we’ll show you how to download YouTube videos using the 4K Downloader.

For each video, you’d like to add repeat these steps. When you click the checkbox next to the playlist you’re adding the video to, it will automatically be added. There’s nothing more you need to do.
