Free forever · Plus is the price of one ad-skip

One dollar to skip the wait.

Free is full-quality. Plus removes the wait gate and unlocks the studio — cut a long video down to the ranges you actually want, drop the dead air, reframe it to 9:16, and download just those parts instead of the whole thing.

FAQ

Plus, in plain language

What is the studio?+

One page where you work on a video instead of just saving it. Type the ranges you want and download those stretches as separate files or joined into one; strip the silent gaps out of a talk; or reframe a landscape video to 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 with a drag-to-pan crop. You can preview every cut before spending a byte on it. The cutting and re-encoding run in your own browser, which is why it is part of Plus at $1 a month rather than a separate paid tier.

Why is Plus so cheap at $1/month?+

Bandwidth is our real cost and it does scale with use. Every download crosses our servers twice, once to pull the file from the source and once to send it to you. What we avoid is the expensive part: the video and audio tracks are merged in your browser rather than on a server, so there is no transcoding bill behind each download and one small machine can serve a lot of people. Plus is priced to cover that bandwidth, the extraction servers and Stripe's fees, not to make us rich. Most YouTube downloader subscriptions are 5 to 20 times this for less.

What's actually different between free and Plus?+

Free covers the basics — every quality up to 8K, MP3 (128 / 192 / 320 kbps) + m4a audio, subtitles, multi-language audio tracks, single-video downloads, the browser extension. Plus unlocks the editing tools: time-range clip extraction, automatic silence removal, and reframe-to-vertical (9:16 / 1:1 / 4:5 with drag-to-pan crop) for Shorts and Reels. Plus also includes batch playlist downloads up to 5,000 videos with 3 in parallel, and API access. And it removes the brief wait gate on free.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes — 3 days, no credit card required up front (Stripe collects payment info but doesn't charge during the trial). You can cancel before the trial ends and pay nothing.

Can I pay annually instead of monthly?+

Yes. Plus is $9.99/year instead of $12, which is 17% off. Annual unlocks exactly the same features as monthly.

How do I cancel?+

Sign in → Account → Manage subscription → Cancel. Takes one click and you keep Plus features until the end of your billing period. No phone calls, no retention surveys, no hidden steps. Stripe handles the cancellation directly.

Do you store my payment info?+

No — Stripe handles all card data via their hosted checkout. We only see anonymized customer IDs and subscription status. We never see your card number, CVC, or billing address.

Will my downloads work if I cancel Plus?+

Yes. Cancelling Plus doesn't delete anything you've already downloaded, and the free tier still covers single-video downloads, subtitles, and the rest of the core features. The Plus-only features (clip, silence removal, reframe, batch, multi-language audio) stop being available.

Is Plus available in my country?+

Plus is available worldwide except in countries where Stripe doesn't operate. If checkout fails with a "card not supported" error, that's the underlying cause. The free tier works everywhere.

Do you offer refunds?+

Yes — if you cancel within 14 days of paying for Plus and email us, we'll refund the charge. Outside that window we don't refund partial-period usage but you can cancel anytime to stop further charges.

Will the price go up?+

We have no plans to raise the base price. If we did, existing subscribers would keep their original price (legacy pricing) for the lifetime of their continuous subscription.

Does Plus include a higher quality download than free?+

No — free and Plus both download at the highest quality YouTube serves for the video. Plus adds features around the download (batch, AI transcription, multi-language), not a quality bump.

Can I use Plus on multiple devices?+

Yes, with the same account. Sign in to VidPickr on each device and Plus features unlock automatically. No device limit.
