By Click Downloader review
A Windows downloader with 8K support, batch tools, conversions and browser detection.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
By Click Downloader is desktop software for downloading videos and music from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Vimeo, Dailymotion, YouKu and more. It is aimed at Windows users who want a one-click browser workflow rather than a web-based downloader. The feature set covers 720p, 1080p, 4K and 8K video downloads, complete playlists and channels, simultaneous downloads, YouTube subtitles, private YouTube and Facebook videos, and MP3 metadata for artist and title.
Pricing is paid-only, with no free plan and a one-day trial. The published starting price is 11.99. The 1 Year plan includes premium features and future updates, while the Unlimited plan adds an unlimited-time license and also includes future updates. That structure suits buyers who want either a time-limited license or longer-term access, though the one-day trial leaves little time for extended evaluation. Paid tiers are focused on licensing duration rather than separate feature bundles.
Its standout strength is breadth within a desktop downloading workflow. Supported output formats include MP3, MP4, AVI, FLV, WMV, 3GP, WEBM, MKV, WAV, AAC and M4A, giving users options for audio extraction and video conversion. Browser auto-detection reduces the number of steps between finding a video and starting a download. The main constraint is platform coverage: current support is Windows only, and iTunes is the only listed integration. Choose it for Windows-based batch downloading, playlist support, high-resolution files and format conversion; choose an alternative if you need Mac support or a broader integration ecosystem.
