Tips for Getting the Best Quality

• Check the source — The video must have been uploaded in 4K for a 4K download option to appear. If the creator uploaded in 1080p, that is the maximum quality available.
• Start playback at highest quality — Some websites only load higher-quality streams after you manually select them in the player. Switch the website's player to 4K first, then check the extension for download options.
• Adaptive streaming — Many sites use adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS/DASH) where quality adjusts based on your connection. The extension captures all available quality levels regardless of what is currently playing.
• File size awareness — 4K videos are significantly larger than lower resolutions. A 10-minute 4K video may be 1-3 GB compared to 200-500 MB for 1080p. Make sure you have sufficient disk space.
• Format matters — Some quality levels may only be available in specific formats. WebM often has higher-resolution options than MP4 on certain platforms. Check supported formats for details.
