Dailymotion Video Downloader
A news report, a TV clip, a music video: paste the Dailymotion link and choose among the resolutions on offer. The MP4 file is yours to keep and watch offline.
How to download a Dailymotion video?
- 1 Copy the address
On a computer, copy the page address, which looks like dailymotion.com/video/x… In the app, tap “Share” under the video and copy the link.
- 2 Paste it here
Short dai.ly links are accepted too. Start the search and the available resolutions appear with their estimated size.
- 3 Choose and wait
The longer the video, the longer it takes to prepare. Keep the page open until the download starts.
Why use our Dailymotion downloader?
Several resolutions
Up to four different resolutions, from the highest available down to lighter versions, each with its approximate size.
Automatic retry
Dailymotion sometimes answers with a temporary error; the tool then tries once more on its own before showing you a message.
One complete file
Dailymotion streams videos in small chunks; you receive a whole MP4 that plays on every device.
No VLC needed
No special player or screen recorder to install: everything happens in the browser.
Download from other platforms
Long videos: the 600 MB limit
Each file can be up to 600 MB. For a documentary or a full match, the top resolution may go over that cap: pick a lower one instead, which is plenty on a phone or tablet. Preparing a very long file can take a few minutes.
Videos restricted to certain countries
Some channels limit their videos to one country. Our servers are in Europe, so a video reserved for another region may be refused: a message tells you so, and we do not bypass those restrictions. Private and password-protected videos are not accessible either.
On Mac, PC or phone
The steps are the same everywhere: copy the address, paste it, choose the resolution. On a computer the MP4 lands in Downloads; on Android, in the Download folder; on iPhone, in the Files app, from where “Save Video” sends it to Photos.
TV shows and channel content
Many Dailymotion videos are clips from TV shows or content from broadcasters, protected by copyright. Download them for your own viewing only and do not redistribute the files without the rights holders’ consent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best quality available?
Whatever the channel uploaded: often 720p or 1080p for recent videos, less for older ones. The resolutions listed are exactly the ones Dailymotion streams.
Do dai.ly links work?
Yes, they are Dailymotion’s short links and are followed through to the video.
Why a geo-restriction message?
The publisher limited the video to certain countries and our servers are outside the allowed area. The block comes from Dailymotion, not from your device.
Can I extract just the audio?
Yes, with our “TikTok to MP3” tool, which accepts Dailymotion links as well.
The download failed on a very long video
Preparation probably went past the time limit or the 600 MB cap. Try again with a lower resolution.
