Quick answer
Paste a public YouTube watch, youtu.be or Shorts link into PureSnap to download the video in the quality tiers YouTube exposes. Private and members-only videos cannot be resolved.
YouTube links come in several shapes: youtube.com/watch, youtu.be short links and youtube.com/shorts. PureSnap accepts all three, so the link you copied from the address bar or the share sheet is enough.
Results list the streams YouTube exposes for the video, including 1080p and higher tiers when the source provides them. The file is not recompressed, and a failed parse is refunded automatically.
