yt-dlp-gui

yt-dlp-gui is a cross-platform graphical interface for the popular command-line video downloader yt-dlp, created to make video and audio downloads from sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, and others easier for everyday users without needing to work directly with command-line arguments. Written in PySide6 (Python with Qt bindings), it wraps the powerful yt-dlp engine in a visual application that lets users paste video URLs, choose formats, apply presets, and start downloads with a click, while still exposing options for advanced tweaks via configuration files. The project supports preset definitions and global arguments through a config file, so users can customize their most common download workflows—like audio extraction, quality ranking, or embedding thumbnails—without retyping arguments each time. Downloads can be initiated from a portable app bundle or run manually with Python, making it flexible across platforms including Windows and Linux.
