  3. 3

    Done, it's on your computer

A desktop video downloader you control from the web

Old-school video downloaders need you sitting at your computer. Online download sites bury you in ads and cap the quality. Linkvido combines the best of both: a lightweight app on your computer does the download, and you add links from a web dashboard on your computer or phone.

The app keeps its download engine up to date on its own, following the sites' changes, so you never have to reinstall anything when YouTube or Instagram change.

Download videos as MP4, 4K or MP3

Choose the format before pasting the link: MP4 at the maximum resolution you prefer (720p, 1080p, 1440p or 2160p) or audio-only MP3. The file is saved to the folder you pick, named after the video.

A free video downloader to start

How to download videos from any site on PC, Mac and from your phone

Linkvido runs on Windows 10 and 11, macOS 12 or newer and Linux. You install a lightweight app once, and it downloads from 900+ sites straight to the folder you choose, at the full speed of your connection.

From your phone, Android or iPhone, open the Linkvido dashboard in your browser and paste the link. Your computer at home downloads and keeps the file, even when you're away.

Is it safe to use Linkvido to download from 900+ sites?

Yes. The dashboard has no ads, pop-ups or fake download buttons, and the app is installed from Linkvido itself. Files go from 900+ sites straight to your computer, without passing through our servers.

Use it for your own content, freely licensed content or content you have permission to save, respecting each site's terms of service and copyright.
