TubeMate Video Downloader is an Android app for saving videos from YouTube and other sites straight to your phone. This page covers the latest APK release with screenshots, key features, installation steps, compatibility details, and what to check before you install.

What is TubeMate Video Downloader?

TubeMate Video Downloader is an Android app that grabs videos off YouTube and a long list of other video sites so you can watch them offline. You browse or paste a link inside the app, pick a quality, and the file saves to your device. No subscription, no account.

Each video gives you several download options with clear quality labels, from small 144p clips up to 1080p and audio-only MP3. You choose what fits your storage and your data plan instead of being locked to one size. The built-in browser keeps the whole thing in one place.

The app is sideload-only because Google Play does not allow downloaders that pull from YouTube. The TubeMate team keeps the app updated as the sites it works with change, and the layout stays close to a normal mobile browser so it feels familiar from the first tap.

What does TubeMate Video Downloader offer?

TubeMate Video Downloader is built around one job: finding a video and saving it to your phone. Every video shows multiple download choices with quality labels, from 144p up to 1080p, so you can match the file to your connection and free space.

You can pull audio only and save it as an MP3, which is handy for music and podcasts. The built-in browser lets you search and queue downloads without leaving the app, and several files can download at once in the background.

Finished downloads land in their own library inside the app, and you can play them there or open them in any video player you like. A simple queue shows progress for everything that is still downloading, and paused jobs pick back up where they stopped.

Key features

TubeMate Video Downloader keeps the same layout as the official client. Here is what people actually use the app for day to day:

  • Video downloads: Save clips from YouTube and many other supported video sites.
  • Quality-labeled files: Pick from 144p up to 1080p, with file sizes shown before you download.
  • MP3 audio extraction: Strip the audio and save it as an MP3 for music or podcasts.
  • Built-in browser: Search, browse, and queue downloads without leaving the app.
  • Background and batch downloads: Run several downloads at once while you do other things.
  • Resume support: Paused or dropped downloads continue from where they left off.

What's new in the latest version?

The latest build of TubeMate Video Downloader (v3.4.20) focuses on stability, compatibility, and small interface fixes on top of the upstream changes from the official client. The team rebuilds against each new release as it lands, so this build usually tracks the official version closely.

  • Improved stability across newer Android versions, including Android 14 and 15
  • Faster loading and a smaller memory footprint on lower-RAM devices
  • Bug fixes for reported download, parsing, or playback issues
  • Updated interface elements that match the official client's current design
  • Better support for foldable and tablet form factors
  • Updated site handlers rebuilt against the new base APK

Good to know before installing

APKs install via sideload, so Android will ask you to allow 'Install unknown apps' for your file manager or browser. That prompt is normal. Only turn it on for sources you trust, then switch it back off afterward.

Check the package name, version, and requested permissions before you open the app. If the permissions do not match what a downloader should need, hold off and do not install.

Is TubeMate Video Downloader safe?

TubeMate Video Downloader is safest when you get it from the official TubeMate source. APK files from random mirrors can be outdated, repackaged, or unsafe. Before installing, check the package name, version, file size, and requested permissions. If anything looks off compared to the official build, do not install the APK.

The TubeMate Video Downloader APK on this page is signed by the developer, not distributed through Google Play, so Play Protect may warn you on install. That warning shows up for any app that does not come from the Play Store; you can dismiss it and continue at your own discretion. What matters more is what is actually inside the file, which is why we list the package name, version number, and file size up top.

FAQ

  • Is TubeMate Video Downloader free?
    Yes. The APK is free to install and use. There is no subscription, and downloads are not capped behind a paywall.
  • Is TubeMate Video Downloader legal?
    The app is a downloader. Whether a specific download is allowed depends on the source site's terms and the copyright rules in your region.
  • Can I extract audio as MP3?
    Yes. Pick the audio-only option when you start a download and the app saves it as an MP3 file.
  • Does TubeMate Video Downloader update automatically?
    No. Because it is sideloaded, you update it by hand. Check back on this page when a new build drops.
  • Why do some videos offer fewer quality options?
    The choices depend on what the source site actually provides. If a video was only uploaded in 720p, you will not see a 1080p option for it.
  • What Android version does it require?
    Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later for the latest builds.

Final verdict

TubeMate Video Downloader is worth installing if you want a quick way to save videos and audio from YouTube and other sites to your phone for offline use. It is simple, it does not nag you with subscriptions, and the quality choices give you control over file size. Check compatibility, permissions, and the download source first, then update from this page when a new build lands.

For most people the app does exactly what it promises without much fuss. Just be sensible about where you download the APK from, keep 'Install unknown apps' switched off once you are done, and remember that respecting each source site's terms is on you. Used that way, it is a handy tool to keep around.
