720p: the size-to-quality sweet spot.

On a phone screen, 720p is nearly indistinguishable from 1080p and roughly half the size. It is also the last tier YouTube sometimes still serves as a single ready-made file.

Procedure

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste any video

    Virtually everything on YouTube exists at 720p, including older uploads.

  2. 02

    Pick the 720p row

    720p is the tier most likely to come with audio already included, so it needs no merge and is ready quickly.

  3. 03

    Save a small file

    Typically 40–60 MB per ten minutes - practical on mobile data.

FAQ

Why choose 720p

When lower resolution is the better decision, not a compromise.

Will 720p look bad?
On a phone or tablet, almost certainly not - at normal viewing distance most people cannot reliably tell 720p from 1080p on a screen under about seven inches. On a large monitor or TV the difference becomes visible, particularly in fine detail and text.
Is 720p faster to download?
Yes, in two ways. The file is roughly half the size of 1080p, and 720p is the resolution most likely to still be served as a single pre-merged stream. When it is, our server sends it as it is, without waiting for a server-side merge, so it is ready sooner.
How much space does 720p use?
Around 40–60 MB for ten minutes of typical content. A two-hour video is roughly 500–700 MB. The precise figure appears in the table before you download.
Is 720p still considered HD?
Yes. 720p (1280×720) is standard HD; 1080p is Full HD. Broadcast television used 720p for years, and it remains the default for a lot of live streaming.
Why would I pick 720p over 1080p for editing?
You generally would not. If the footage is going into an editor, take the highest resolution available so you have room to crop, stabilise or zoom. 720p is for watching, not for post-production.
What if 720p is not listed?
A few very old or very low-resolution uploads top out at 480p or 360p. The table shows only what genuinely exists for that video, so if 720p is absent it was never published at that size.
