Most “YouTube downloader bot” lists are old and full of dead bots. I tested the ones people still share and kept only what’s actually useful (and I’ll tell you the annoying parts too: join-gates, limits, languages).
If you’re here for working Telegram YouTube downloader bots, you don’t need a long explanation—you need a list that’s not dead.
Working Telegram Downloader Bots
Below is a clean directory of the bots that performed best for me: one is the best overall (English), one is great for Arabic users (join-to-use), one supports many platforms (but has limits), and one is perfect for audio.
PicTube Bot
YouTube downloads (best overall, English)
Social media Downloader
Arabic users (requires join-to-use)
Download IT
Multi-source downloader (many platforms + many languages, but limited)
Gozilla Bot
YouTube downloads (3 languages, join 2 channels)
YtbAudioBot
YouTube → audio (2 languages, no sub gate, no limit)
Best YouTube Downloader Bot on Telegram
If you only try one bot, start with @PicTubeBot. It’s clean (no ads), doesn’t force you to join channels (no join gates), and it supports both video downloads and MP3/audio.

🚀 What this bot can do
- Download almost any YouTube video in top quality
- Supports 4K/8K, HDR, and 60 FPS
- Uploads files directly to Telegram (up to 4 GB)
⭐ Bonus
- You can add it to a Telegram group, so members can use it there without opening the bot chat.
Backup plan
Telegram downloader bots can go down sometimes, so I keep a few alternative bots in this list in case PicTube Bot stops working temporarily.
