What Vividl is
Vividl is a free Windows application for downloading videos and audio from YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and other websites supported by yt-dlp. Its youtube-dl/yt-dlp engine retrieves media from several hundred sites. You can select available source formats, convert video to MP4, AVI, or WebM, and extract audio as MP3 or M4A. Batch and parallel downloading support multiple items, while clipboard importing can pick up copied URLs automatically. The interface offers dark and light modes and can show extra information before downloading. The official page provides installer and portable packages, plus Chocolatey installation. Requirements listed are Windows 7 or newer, .NET Framework 4.8 or higher, and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86). A March 2026 update requires an external JavaScript runtime for yt-dlp YouTube downloads and adds automatic FFmpeg update checks. Vividl uses the BSD-3-Clause license.
