Are any of those youtube to mp4 sites actually safe?

Question

Want to save a few of my own uploads for a family slideshow and every converter site I find is covered in pop-ups and fake download buttons. Which ones don't come bundled with junk, or is there a cleaner way to do it?

Safe-ish at best. The conversion itself isn't the danger, it's the ads around it: fake "Download" buttons, pop-unders, and the "click Allow to continue" prompt that's really asking to send you browser notifications. That last one is how people end up with spam popping up on their desktop for weeks. If you do use one, never allow notifications and never run anything that downloads as an .exe or installer. A real MP4 is just an .mp4 file.

if it's for watching offline, YouTube Premium does it inside the app with no sketchy site involved. you don't get an mp4 file you can move around, but for a flight or a commute that's usually all people actually want.
