YouTube Playlist Downloader — Save Entire Playlists Free

Download YouTube Playlists Free →

Downloading a complete YouTube playlist means having an entire course, music album, documentary series, or video collection available offline whenever you need it. Here is how to do it efficiently with dltkk.to and yt-dlp for larger playlists.

Method 1 — Batch Download with dltkk.to (Up to 10 Videos)

Step 1Open the YouTube playlist page. Each video in the playlist is listed with its title.

Step 2Right-click each video title and open it in a new tab, or click each video and copy the URL from the address bar. Collect up to 10 URLs in a text editor or Notes app.

Step 3Go to dltkk.to and switch to batch mode.

Step 4Paste all URLs one per line, select your format (MP4 or MP3), and click Download All.

Step 5For playlists longer than 10 videos, run multiple batch sessions in groups of 10 until the full playlist is downloaded.

Method 2 — Full Playlist Download with yt-dlp (Unlimited)

For playlists with dozens or hundreds of videos, yt-dlp is the most efficient tool. It is free, open-source, and handles entire playlists in a single command. Install it from the yt-dlp GitHub page, then open Terminal (Mac/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows) and run:

yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]" --yes-playlist "PLAYLIST_URL_HERE"

Replace PLAYLIST_URL_HERE with the full YouTube playlist URL. yt-dlp downloads every video in the playlist to the current directory in order. For MP3 audio only from a playlist: yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "PLAYLIST_URL_HERE"

Types of YouTube Playlists That Download Well

Course playlists are among the most valuable downloads — a complete programming tutorial, language course, or academic subject playlist saved offline becomes a permanent resource you can study without internet. Music playlists downloaded as MP3 create an offline music library from the songs you have curated. Documentary series playlists give you complete multi-part content stored locally. Workout playlist videos downloaded at 1080p give you an offline fitness program with full detail clarity for form reference.

Organizing Downloaded Playlist Videos

When you batch download playlist videos, name them with a number prefix in the order they appear in the playlist. Video 01, Video 02, Video 03 — this keeps them sorted in the correct order in File Explorer or Finder and makes sequential viewing straightforward without needing to manually sort by date or title. Create a dedicated folder for each playlist with the playlist name as the folder name.

Playlist Downloads on Mobile

On mobile, batch downloading groups of 10 works the same way as on desktop. The practical limitation on mobile is storage space — 10 videos at 720p may consume 1 to 3 GB depending on video lengths. Check your available storage before downloading large playlists. Consider selecting 480p for long playlists where storage is a concern, or downloading playlist sections in groups and deleting watched content before downloading the next group.

💡 For playlists over 20 videos, yt-dlp is the most efficient method. For shorter playlists, dltkk.to batch mode handles it without any command-line setup.
