# Introducing YTConverter™ - A Simple Command-Line YouTube Downloader in Python

Hey devs! 👋

I recently created **YTConverter™**, a Python-based command-line tool for downloading YouTube videos directly to your machine. It’s designed to be simple, efficient, and lightweight — no external GUIs, no bloated software. Just pure CLI goodness. 🚀

### Why YTConverter™?

I got tired of all the unnecessary complexity in some video downloaders, so I decided to build something minimal and easy to use. Whether you need to grab a video or extract audio from YouTube, YTConverter™ does the job without fuss.

### Key Features

- **Download YouTube videos** directly to your machine

- **Convert to various formats** (MP3, MP4, etc.)

- Handles basic **metadata** (title, description, etc.)

- Lightweight and **easy to set up** with just a few commands

### Installation

1. Clone the repo:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/kaifcodec/ytconverter.git

cd ytconverter

```

2. Run the script:

```bash

python3 ytconverter.py

```

You can then start downloading videos right from your terminal! 🖥️

### Why Use YTConverter™?

If you’re a Termux user, a fan of CLI tools, or someone who loves Python automation, this tool is built for you. It’s fully open-source, so feel free to check it out, fork it, or even contribute to its development!
