Save a Dailymotion video
Paste the link. Every available quality is listed with its real size, and the file is put together on your own device.
Nothing on the cloth yet. Paste a link above.
How it works
Copy the video address.
Open the video on Dailymotion and copy the address bar, or use the share link. A
dai.lyshort link works too.Paste it above.
The site reads what Dailymotion offers and lists every quality with its real size and how many pieces it comes in.
Pick a quality and wait for the cloth to fill.
Dailymotion sends video in pieces, never as one file. Your browser collects them and joins them into a single MP4 — which is why a progress bar appears where other tools would simply hand you a file.
Why there is a progress bar
Dailymotion does not host a whole MP4 anywhere. It serves video as HLS: a playlist and dozens or hundreds of short pieces, which is what lets a player switch quality mid-stream. A downloader has to collect those pieces and join them back into one file.
On this site that joining happens in your browser, on your machine. The pieces travel through this server because Dailymotion refuses to hand them to a web page directly, but the file itself is built on your device and never exists here.
What you actually get
The original stream, rewrapped. Nothing is re-encoded, resized or watermarked, so the picture is exactly what Dailymotion sent. The audio option lifts the AAC track out of the same pieces and writes it as M4A — a rewrap, not a re-recording, so the sound is bit for bit what Dailymotion sent.
Sizes are shown before you commit. A three-minute clip and a ninety-minute film look identical in a list of qualities, and the difference matters on mobile data.
Videos this cannot save
Some uploaders restrict a video to particular countries. Dailymotion then refuses to serve its media from where this site runs, and no amount of retrying changes that. When it happens you are told plainly, rather than being handed a broken file.
