A free multimedia downloader
VidMate is a free video downloader app that also serves as a media converter and player. Three multimedia platforms in one Android app, VidMate is an essential tool for collecting and watching videos in HD format. VidMate can be found on the Google Play Store for Android build 4.2.1 or higher, as well as Windows 7 and iOS 12.1.2.
Similar to SnapTube or Videoder, VidMate works with hundreds of streaming websites, providing access to enormous libraries of content - all for free. Since it’s a three-in-one platform, it also means you can save space on your mobile device. VidMate allows users to download YouTube videos and music, play them, or convert them to a different file extension to be later played on your computer.
Download, convert, play, and share
The best thing that can be said about VidMate is that it serves as a seamless extension to managing media on your phone. It enables quick and free content downloading from all sorts of video streaming sites, including YouTube, Vevo, and DailyMotion. VidMate also allows for video sharing to social media platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Soundcloud.
VidMate accomplishes this feeling of seamless integration with a smart, uncluttered UI that’s intuitive and straightforward in its presentation. It displays a list of supported websites to choose from, then downloading content just takes a single click. In just three easy steps you will have your downloaded content: click the site, find the video, download it. Once downloaded, VidMate can then convert your video into MP3 or MP4, whichever is your preference.
It’s a huge convenience to be able to convert to MP3 or MP4 right within the app, as it eliminates the need for the clunky transfer of files from app to app. It also saves space on your Android; you don’t have to have two or three apps just for video management. VidMate also downloads and converts quickly, so you’ll be able to spend more time watching and sharing, and less time moving files or waiting through load bars.
VidMate can also download multiple videos at once, and you can pause or cancel downloads when they’re in progress. This flexible and straightforward approach again capitalizes on how integrated VidMate feels. Newcomers to Android might even mistake the app as being intrinsically part of the ecosystem. VidMate also works on your computer, if that’s your preferred interface for video management.
VidMate thrives on Android since its UI was designed with simplicity in mind. Since most Android users favor Windows, using the app on PC is a great alternative. VidMate has over 200 channels and unlimited movies, all of which benefit from your desktop’s larger screen. It works best if you install it via an emulator like Bluestacks or Nox APP since both are compatible with Android.
Regardless of where you use VidMate, the video’s quality can be determined during the selection process; it starts at 480p and goes all the way up to 4k. Be aware, however, that stored HD videos will take up more space on your Android device. Not to worry, though, since you can transfer stored files from your phone to your computer. The VidMate app brings your media to its fullest potential - download your preferred content, then move it to where it can benefit from a bigger screen and more storage space.
One of the lesser-known features of VidMate is that it’s also a streaming app. You can use it to watch your favorite TV channels at any time, and it’s built right into the program. On the Home screen, there’s a ‘TV Show’ category which you can tap to open a list of popular TV shows. Just click the one you want to watch.
If you don’t see your preferred show, it could still be there; just buried under others. Use the filter icon on the right corner and you can search by language, channel, year, or genre. From this point, VidMate downloads as per usual, and similarly, any show can be downloaded and formatted per your preference, and the resolution can be tweaked as well.
