## Overview

This is a single-page video-downloader frontend. The user enters a video URL and selects a format; the page’s JavaScript builds an embedded loader.to button, which provides the download action. The README advertises broad platform support and resolution choices, but the sampled source shows no local extraction, conversion, or storage backend, so those operations are represented only at the external service boundary.

Main entry points: [`index.php`](https://github.com/acrnischal/video-downloader/blob/main/index.php) (URL and format form)
