Past the 720p limit

Above 720p, YouTube sends the video and the audio as two separate streams. A tool that gives you a single file without merging them has to stop at 720p. This one combines the two, so you get 1080p, 1440p and 2160p with sound.

60 fps stays 60 fps

If the upload is 60 frames per second, the MP4 keeps all 60. Nothing is halved to 30 fps, and that is what keeps fast motion clean in gameplay clips and sports.

An MP4 your editor will open

Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve and iMovie all read H.264 in an MP4 without a plugin. YouTube also stores smaller VP9 and AV1 copies of the same video, but Final Cut and iMovie will not open those.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because 720p is the highest quality YouTube still serves as one combined file. Everything above it comes as a video file and an audio file, and a downloader that cannot join the two can only give you the one without sound.
