Download Dailymotion videos online for free. Paste a video link, pick a quality up to HD, and save it as an MP4 with no watermark and no sign-up.
Repackaging to MP4 in your browser — the video is copied, not re-encoded, so there's no quality loss. Keep this tab open.
The MP4 is assembled on your device from Dailymotion's own stream, and our servers keep no copy. Please save only videos that are yours or that you have permission to keep.
Paste, choose, save. The pop-ups, watermarks and sign-up screens other tools add are simply not here.
Dailymotion streams each video at several quality tiers. 380p, 480p and 720p are common, and many uploads go up to 1080p. We list every tier a video actually has, highest first, and package the one you pick into an MP4 in your browser. Nothing is re-encoded, upscaled, or watermarked along the way.
Alongside the video, the cover image is listed as its own download in several sizes, largest first, so you can keep the poster frame without screenshotting a paused player.
Set a start and an end time and only that stretch of the video is fetched and saved as an MP4, so a short clip from a long upload stays a short download.
The same page and the same three steps in Safari on an iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any desktop browser, with nothing to install. The file is written to storage while it downloads instead of piling up in memory, so even a long video in high quality fits on a phone.
No Dailymotion video download is ever written to our disks. The pieces pass through our relay to your browser, and only a video's public details are cached, for about ten minutes.
There is no account to make, no analytics script and no ad tracker. Your link is used to look the video up, and for nothing else.
Three steps from a link to a saved MP4, the same on a phone or a computer. The thumbnail downloads the same way.
Tap Share under the video on Dailymotion and pick Copy link, or copy the address bar on a computer. A short dai.ly link is fine.
Put the link in the box at the top of this page. The video's public details load, with each quality it comes in and its cover image.
The best copy sits at the top of the list. Tap it, or a smaller one, and the MP4 is saved to your device under a name that says what it is.
DailymotionDownloader is a Dailymotion video downloader online, free to use in any modern browser. Paste the address of a public video, choose a quality, and the video is saved to your device as an MP4 file. There is no account to create, no app or extension to install, and no watermark added to the picture.
It is an independent tool, not affiliated with Dailymotion. Here is how it works, what you get, and where its limits are.
Everything starts from the link. In the app or on the mobile site, tap Share under the video and choose Copy link; on a computer, copy the address from the browser bar. Paste it into the field at the top of this page and press Download.
Starting from the link is what keeps it simple to download Dailymotion video online: a link names exactly one video, so there is no search step and nothing to guess. Full dailymotion.com/video/ addresses, short dai.ly links, embed links and geo.dailymotion.com player links all work, and the https:// part is optional. Anything after the video ID, such as a playlist parameter or tracking tags, is ignored.
Dailymotion does not send its player one finished file. It streams each video as a series of short segments, and newer uploads carry the picture and the sound as separate streams. Converting a Dailymotion video to MP4 therefore means fetching those segments and putting them back together in order, with the audio interleaved alongside the video.
That assembly happens in your browser. The video and audio are copied into an MP4 container exactly as Dailymotion encoded them, as H.264 video with AAC audio, so nothing is decoded, compressed a second time, or upscaled. The picture you save is the picture Dailymotion streams at that quality.
That makes it a Dailymotion MP4 downloader in the strict sense. One format comes out of this Dailymotion video downloader: MP4, which plays on current phones, computers and smart TVs without a converter. For the same reason there is no MP3 option, since making one would mean re-encoding the sound. The Dailymotion to MP4 page covers the format in more depth.
Qualities are listed highest first, each with its resolution, an approximate file size, and an HD badge from 720p up. The usual tiers are 380p, 480p, 720p and 1080p. 380p is Dailymotion's own label for its standard-definition tier, where most sites say 360p; it is passed through unchanged so it matches the quality menu in Dailymotion's player.
Which tiers you get depends on the upload. In a sample of 45 public videos we checked in 2026, every one offered 380p, about two thirds offered 480p, roughly half reached 720p, and a third went up to 1080p. No tool can add detail that was never uploaded, so a video that tops out at 720p saves as a 720p file.
HD is not a paid upgrade: you can use this Dailymotion video downloader free at any quality a video offers. The top row is the best copy available, and the lower rows give smaller files for a phone that is nearly full or a limited data plan. The quality guide explains how big each tier is and which one to pick.
If you only need part of a long video, open Trim, pick a quality, and set a start and an end time. Only the segments that cover your selection are fetched, so a two-minute clip from an hour-long video does not mean downloading the whole hour. The clip is packaged into MP4 the same way, with no re-encoding.
The end time is exact. The start moves back to the nearest keyframe, the point where the video can begin cleanly, so a clip may start a few seconds before the time you entered.
Run the Dailymotion downloader online in the browser you already have; the steps are the same on a phone, a tablet or a computer. Where the file ends up depends on the device:
The video passes through our server on its way to your browser and is never written to storage there, so there is no archive of anyone's downloads. Public details of a video, such as its title and available qualities, are cached for about ten minutes so a repeat lookup does not ask Dailymotion twice. The privacy policy lists what is kept and for how long.
Because this is a Dailymotion downloader by URL, it saves one video per link. A link to a channel or a playlist is declined with an explanation rather than queued up.
Some videos are refused on purpose: private and password-protected videos, region-locked videos that are not available where our server is, videos the rights holder has locked to the official player, videos marked as explicit, and live broadcasts while they are on air. Reaching those would mean getting around a restriction someone chose deliberately. When a link fails, the message on screen names the reason, and the guide to videos that will not download explains each one.
A download is not a licence. Whoever published a video owns it, and Dailymotion's Terms of Use restrict downloading without permission from Dailymotion or the rights holder. Use this tool for your own uploads and for videos you have permission to keep, and do not re-upload someone else's work as your own. Our guide to downloading and copyright covers the detail.
Still have a question? The most common ones are answered just below, the full FAQ covers the rest, and the step-by-step guide walks through downloading on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
Short answers to the 8 questions we hear most. The full list goes further into file names, live streams, error messages and copyright.
The address of one public video, in any of the forms Dailymotion uses: the regular dailymotion.com page, the short dai.ly link that the Share button gives you, or an embed or player address. The https:// at the start is optional. Extra parts after the video ID, such as a title, a playlist reference or tracking codes, are simply ignored.
Channel and playlist addresses are turned down with a message saying so. Pasting one of those by mistake happens more than anything else, which is why it has its own explanation.
It costs nothing, and you need neither. Everything happens on this web page: paste, choose a quality, save. You do not register, install an app or add a browser extension, and the HD qualities are not kept behind a payment.
A Dailymotion login is not needed either. A public video can be watched by anyone, and the tool asks Dailymotion for the same details its player asks for when a visitor presses play.
Pick the top row unless space or data is tight. Rows go from highest quality to lowest, so the first one is the best copy Dailymotion offers for that video.
Further down are smaller files, useful when your phone is almost full or you are on a mobile plan. Each row shows a rough size so you can compare.
You only see qualities the video really has. If the list stops at 720p, the upload was 720p or Dailymotion encoded it no higher, and no tool can produce a sharper version than Dailymotion streams.
Yes, at every quality, with H.264 video and AAC sound. That combination plays on today's phones, computers and smart TVs without extra software.
Dailymotion's player receives each video as many short pieces, and newer uploads keep the sound in a separate stream. Your browser joins those pieces into a single, ordinary MP4 you can keep, copy and watch offline, with the same picture and sound as the quality you chose.
None of those. The video and sound for the quality you pick are copied into the MP4 exactly as Dailymotion encoded them. No frame is compressed a second time, nothing is enlarged, and no logo of ours is added.
A logo that hovers over the video in Dailymotion's player may belong to the player rather than the video, and player overlays are not part of the file. A logo that is part of the footage itself, like a TV channel's corner mark, is in the video and stays there.
No. The pieces of a Dailymotion video pass from Dailymotion's servers through our relay to your browser, which builds the MP4 on your device. Our side writes none of it to a disk or database, and keeps no history of what anyone saved.
This is how the system is built rather than a policy we could quietly change: the relay has nowhere to put a video even if we wanted it to.
The message you see names the reason. These are the usual ones, most frequent first:
If the message says the problem is on our side rather than giving one of these reasons, wait a minute and try again; that really does fix most of them. The troubleshooting guide goes through every case in more detail.
Only with their permission. A video belongs to the person or company that published it, and saving a copy does not change who owns it.
The tool is meant for keeping your own uploads and videos you have been allowed to keep. Posting another person's video as if it were yours infringes their copyright, however you got the file.
Copy its address from Dailymotion, paste it into the downloader, and the MP4 is yours in the quality you choose.
