How to download a Dailymotion video

What you can save from Dailymotion

Public Dailymotion videos when the site publishes a playable file.

The Dailymotion tab on the Dailymotion page of this site saves an MP4 video. No account is needed and nothing is installed.

Step 1: copy the link

Open the video and copy its address from the browser bar, or use the Share button and copy the link.

Step 2: paste it

Open the Dailymotion Video Downloader page and paste the link into the box. It starts on its own and shows a preview in a few seconds. You can also press the Paste button.

Step 3: save the file

Press the Download button. You get an MP4 video. On iPhone, use Safari, open the Downloads list and choose Share, Save Video. On Android and computers the file goes to your Downloads folder.

About quality

We return the best video file the platform serves. We do not re-encode it, so the quality you save is the quality it holds, commonly 720p or 1080p.

If it does not work

Dailymotion links with dai.ly are accepted. Some videos are stream-only and a few are limited by country, which a public tool cannot get around.

Open the link in a private browser window. If it opens without logging in, it is public. Wait a minute and try again, as platforms sometimes limit requests for a short time.
