What is VidMate?

Vid Mate is a video downloader app for Android. You open a video inside the app, tap the download button, choose a size, and the file saves to your phone. It works with YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and many other sites.

Vid mate, as many people type it, is also a simple media player. Your saved videos and songs open inside the app, so you don't need a separate player. It's handy for anyone with slow internet, a small data pack, or long trips where the signal drops.

What is VidMate APK?

VidMate APK is the file you use to install the app on an Android phone. APK is the format Android uses for apps. You download the file, open it, and the app appears on your home screen.

The VidMate app isn't on the Google Play Store, because Google doesn't allow apps that download videos from YouTube. That's why you install it from a file instead. The latest build is version 6.0345, and it's about 35.3 MB.

Why People Use VidMate

Save Videos to Watch Offline

With VidMate, you can save a video once and watch it as many times as you like without using data. This helps on a bus or train with weak signal, or on a flight. It also helps if your data pack is small and you don't want to stream the same video again and again.

Turn Videos into MP3 Songs

VidMate app users often save songs as MP3 files to build their own music list. You can save only the audio from a music video, a podcast or a talk. MP3 files are small, so you can keep hundreds of songs on your phone.

One App for Many Sites

VidMate video downloader works with many sites in one place. You don't need one app for YouTube, another for Instagram and a third for Facebook. Everything you save goes to the same download list, so it's easy to find.

Works on Low-Cost Phones

VidMate for Android is light and runs on budget phones too. The file is about 35 MB, and the app doesn't need a powerful processor. If your phone has Android 5.0 or newer and some free space, it should work fine.

Sites You Can Download From

YouTube

VidMate YouTube downloader lets you save videos, music videos and shorts in many sizes, or as MP3. Search for the video inside the app, open it, and tap the download button below the player. YouTube's own rules don't allow downloading most videos without permission, so use this only for content you have the right to keep.

Facebook

VidMate can save public Facebook videos to your phone. Open the video in the app's browser or paste its link, then choose the size. Private videos and videos from closed groups can't be saved.

Instagram

VidMate app saves public Instagram Reels and videos. Copy the post link from Instagram, paste it in the app, and pick your download. Posts from private accounts won't work.

TikTok

VidMate APK can download public TikTok videos so you can watch them later. Paste the video link and save it. Always give credit to the creator if you share it anywhere.

X (Twitter), Dailymotion, Vimeo and Pinterest

Vid mate also works with videos on X, Dailymotion, Vimeo and Pinterest. The steps are the same: open the video or paste its link, tap download, and choose a size. Some sites change their pages from time to time, so a site may stop working until the app updates.

Video Quality Guide: Which One to Pick?

VidMate shows the size of every option before you download. Here's a real example from the app for a 10-minute video:

VidMate file sizes change from video to video, since fast action and bright colours make bigger files. For most people on a phone, 480p or 720p gives the best mix of picture and size. 4K appears only when the video itself has it.

How to Download and Install VidMate

On Android Phone

VidMate for Android installs in about a minute:

1. Go to our download page and tap the download button.
2. Open the file when it finishes. You'll find it in your notifications or in the Downloads folder.
3. If your phone blocks the install, tap Settings and allow your browser to install apps.
4. Go back and tap Install.
5. Open the app and allow storage access so it can save files.

On PC or Laptop

VidMate APK can run on a Windows PC or Mac with a free Android emulator such as BlueStacks. Install the emulator, drag the APK into its window, and the app is ready. Our PC guide has every step.

On iPhone

VidMate doesn't have an iPhone version, and iPhones can't install APK files. Be careful of sites that offer an "iOS version". Our iPhone page explains what you can do instead.

How to Download a Video

Find the Video

VidMate gives you two ways to find a video. Use the search bar or the built-in browser to open the site, or copy a video link from another app and paste it into the search bar. The app spots the video on its own.

Pick Quality or MP3

Vid mate shows a list of sizes after you tap the download button. Choose a video size, or pick MP3 if you only want the sound. You'll see the file size next to each choice.

Find Your Downloaded Files

VidMate app keeps everything under My Files in the bottom menu, with tabs for Downloads, Videos, Music and Private. Tap any file to play it. You can also find the files in your phone's file manager.

Where Your Files Are Saved

VidMate saves your files in the VidMate/download folder on your phone's internal storage, unless you change it. The path and your free space show at the top of the download screen, so you always know where a file will go.

VidMate APK also lets you pick a different folder, such as an SD card. Tap Change next to the path on the download screen, or open Me, then Settings. This is helpful when your phone's storage is nearly full. Look for the download location option in settings and choose your SD card.

App Permissions Explained

VidMate asks for a few permissions. Here's why, and which ones you can skip:

Vid mate doesn't need your contacts, messages or call logs to work. If any copy of the app asks for those, it's likely a fake. Uninstall it and get the file again from a trusted page.

Is VidMate Safe and Legal?

VidMate is usually safe when you get the real file from a trusted page and give it only the permissions it needs. The main danger comes from fake copies on random sites, which can carry adware. Check that the file is about 35.3 MB, and let Google Play Protect scan it when you install.

VidMate app is legal to install, but what you download matters. Many sites, including YouTube, say in their terms that you shouldn't download videos without permission. Songs and films usually belong to artists and studios. Use the app for videos you own, content with a free licence, or personal offline viewing where it's allowed, and never re-upload someone else's work.

VidMate official site? We can't confirm one. This website is an independent guide and isn't linked to the app's developers. We don't host any videos.

VidMate Not Working? Quick Fixes

Download Failed or Stuck

VidMate downloads can stop when your internet drops or storage is full. Check that you have enough free space, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and tap resume. If the file is stuck at 99%, delete it and download again.

YouTube Videos Not Downloading

VidMate YouTube downloader can stop working when YouTube changes its site. Update to the newest version from our download page, as fixes usually come in the next build. Restarting the app also helps.

App Not Installed or Parse Error

VidMate APK shows "App not installed" when an older copy is still on your phone. Remove the old one first. A "parse error" means the file is broken or your Android is too old, so download it again on Wi-Fi.

App Crashing

VidMate app crashes are usually fixed by clearing the cache. Open your phone's Settings, go to Apps, pick the app, tap Storage, then Clear cache. If it keeps crashing, reinstall it.

VidMate vs Similar Apps

Snaptube

VidMate and Snaptube work in a similar way and support many of the same sites. Snaptube has a clean look and is good for music, while our app has more extras, like its browser and batch downloads.

TubeMate

VidMate video downloader covers more sites than TubeMate, which mainly focuses on YouTube. TubeMate is simple and light, a good pick if you only need YouTube.

Videoder

Vid mate and Videoder both offer many sizes and MP3. Videoder has a neat design and themes, but it's less well known.

NewPipe

VidMate has more features than NewPipe, but NewPipe is open source and has no ads. It's a good choice if you mainly want YouTube and care about privacy.

Official Offline Options

VidMate isn't the only way to watch offline. YouTube Premium lets you save videos inside the YouTube app legally, and many music and video apps have their own offline mode. These don't give you a file you can move, but they're fully allowed.
