There was an option on the site that allowed users to download videos without the audio. However this option, you can download videos even at 4K.

Conclusion
These were some of the best YouTube to MP4 converters that you can use to download YouTube Videos. The converters that I have mentioned are free to use but most of them have a paid plan as well. Out of all the converters that I listed, Wave.video, 4KVideoDownload Plus, and Savefrom.net are the best ones that I recommend.
The reason for recommending Savefrom.net is that it is completely safe to use without any ads; plus you can use it on your browser. Whereas, Wave.video has both free and paid versions. You won’t encounter ads on the free version but you will only be able to download videos in 720p. To download in better quality you will have to get its subscription.
Talking about 4K Video Download Plus, it gives you complete control over the video you want to download even with the free version. You can download videos even in 8K but you will be limited to downloading only 30 videos in a day.
