What is 4K Download and what apps does it offer?

Updated

4K Download is a collection of desktop and mobile applications for downloading and converting media, plus a few utility tools. The apps run on Windows, macOS, Ubuntu (Linux), and Android. According to the site, the main functionality of its applications is free and will stay free — no watermarks, no registration, no payments — while premium features are available for advanced use.

What apps are in the 4K Download lineup?

The site lists these products:

What are the main use cases?

The lineup covers four broad tasks:

  • Downloading video and audio from YouTube and other sites (4K Video Downloader Plus, Android app).
  • Saving social media content — TikTok videos and accounts (4K Tokkit), Instagram photos, Stories and Reels (4K Stogram).
  • Audio extraction and conversion — turning YouTube videos or other video files into MP3 (4K YouTube to MP3, 4K Video to MP3).
  • Local media utilities — compressing images and building slideshows (4K Image Compressor, 4K Slideshow Maker).

Is it free?

The site states that the main functionality of the applications is free and will always stay free, with no watermarks, no registration, and no payments. Premium features are available for advanced use, which implies a paid tier, and the site maintains a subscription cancellation page — so at least some premium access is subscription-based. The site does not publish prices on the pages reviewed here, so check the Store for current terms.
