How to download videos
from any site, on any device.
A practical guide to saving public videos and audio, with device-specific tips for iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
We default to the highest MP4 · H.264 option, which plays in QuickTime, Windows Media Player, phones and browsers. If the source has no H.264, choose QuickTime-compatible to convert it. VP9/AV1 needs VLC or a modern browser.
This quality uses VP9/AV1, which QuickTime and Windows Media Player can't play. Pick 1080p or lower for a file that plays everywhere.
This source only has VP9/AV1. We'll convert it to H.264 + AAC for QuickTime — this can take a minute.
By downloading you confirm you have the rights to this content.
About this downloader
The simple way to save a video
Every supported site follows the same three steps: copy the public video link, paste it into the box above, and choose a quality. VidSaver reads the source and lists only formats that actually exist.
For the widest playback support choose an MP4 · H.264 option. Those files open in QuickTime, Windows Media Player, phones and browsers. VP9/AV1 options at 1440p and 4K are labelled as VLC-only.
On iPhone the file saves to Files or Downloads through Safari. On Android it saves to Downloads. On Windows and Mac it appears in your browser’s download list.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is it legal to download videos?
Only download content you own, that is licensed for reuse, or that you have permission to save. Respect each platform’s terms and your local copyright law.
How do I download a video on iPhone?
Paste the link in Safari, choose a quality and press Download. The file is saved through the Files app.
How do I download a video on Android?
Paste the link in Chrome, choose a quality and press Download. The file goes to your Downloads folder.
Why is my video silent?
The source may have no audio track, or the chosen format may be video-only. Pick a Video + audio option instead.
Why is 4K not available?
The uploader may not have provided a 4K master. VidSaver cannot create resolution the source does not contain.
Can I download private videos?
No. Private, members-only and login-walled content is blocked.
