You-Get is a free command-line utility for downloading videos, audio, images, and other web content. It supports many listed services, including YouTube, X, Vimeo, Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, Facebook, Dailymotion, Bilibili, and Youku. Downloads can use webm, mp4, or 3gp formats, with subtitle, batch, and playlist support. You-Get can send an online video to a chosen media player instead of saving it, scrape page images, and download arbitrary non-HTML binary content from a resource URL. Image scraping is described as experimental and imperfect. A universal extractor attempts downloads from sites outside the supported list. Command-line controls include output paths and names, HTTP proxy use, and resuming interrupted downloads. Python 3.7.4 or later and FFmpeg 1.0 or later are recommended; RTMPDump is optional. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows through WSL.

Who it is for

It suits command-line users who need media, image, or binary downloads from supported websites. It also fits users wanting subtitle, playlist, batch, proxy, or resume controls.

What is good

  • Free MIT-licensed utility
  • Video, audio, image, and binary downloads
  • Subtitle, batch, and playlist support

  • Linux, macOS, and Windows WSL

What to know first

  • Image scraping is experimental and imperfect
  • Windows use requires WSL
  • JSON schema may change incompatibly

Verdict
