Download Playlist
A practical workflow for saving items from a playlist one at a time with Pullify.
Guide
Download Playlist
Pullify fetches and downloads one link at a time — it does not process an entire playlist URL in a single step. To save a playlist, open each video individually, copy that specific video's link, and repeat the fetch-and-download steps for each item you want.
Playlists group several videos under one URL, but Pullify's format-fetching only works on a single media link at a time — pasting a playlist URL by itself won't return a format list. Instead, open the individual video you want from the playlist, copy that video's own link (not the playlist link), and fetch it the normal way.
This is a deliberate limitation worth being upfront about rather than glossing over: Pullify does not currently support bulk or batch downloading of an entire playlist in one action. For a handful of videos this is a minor extra step; for very long playlists it means repeating the process for each item.
The download queue widget does help here in a smaller way — you can fetch and queue several videos in sequence without waiting for each one to finish downloading before starting the next, so the process is still reasonably efficient even without one-click bulk support.
How it works
Open the playlist and click into the first video you want.
Copy that video's individual link, not the playlist URL.
Paste it into Pullify, fetch, and choose a format to start the download.
Repeat for each additional video — queued downloads run in the background.
What to expect
Batch support
Not available — each video needs its own link and its own fetch step.
Queue behavior
Multiple downloads can run and be tracked at once, which reduces the wait between items even without automatic playlist detection.
Format consistency
Each video's available formats are independent, so quality options may differ slightly between items in the same playlist.
Tips
- Open several videos from the playlist in separate tabs first, then work through fetching and queuing each one — it's faster than going back to the playlist page each time.
- If you only want the audio from a playlist of talks or music, audio-only downloads process faster per item, which adds up over a long list.
- Keep an eye on the queue widget's progress indicators rather than waiting on each item before starting the next fetch.
Troubleshooting
Playlist URL returns no formats: this is expected — paste the individual video's link instead.
One video in the playlist fails to fetch: check whether that specific video is private, deleted, or region-locked; the rest of the playlist is unaffected.
Queue seems slow with several items running: each download's speed depends on the source and file size, not on how many other items are queued.
FAQs
Can Pullify download a whole YouTube playlist automatically?
No. Pullify processes one video link at a time; a playlist URL alone won't return a format list. Open each video and fetch its individual link.
Is there a limit to how many items I can queue at once?
There's no hard limit in the interface, but each item still needs to be fetched and added individually.
Why doesn't pasting the playlist link work?
Pullify's format lookup is designed around single media items, matching what the source platform exposes per-video rather than per-playlist.
Can I download just the audio from every video in a playlist?
Yes — repeat the fetch step per video and choose the audio-only format each time.
Will this feature change in the future?
This page describes current behavior; if playlist-level support is added, this guide will be updated to reflect it rather than left inaccurate.
Legal & safe use
Only download media you own or have permission to use — whether that's allowed depends on your jurisdiction and the rights holder's terms, not on Pullify. Read our Responsible Use Policy and Copyright & DMCA Policy before downloading content you don't own.
