Open the Dailymotion downloader
Public videos only
Paste a dailymotion.com/video link or a dai.ly short link into the Dailymotion video downloader. The page loads the public title, owner, and thumbnail. An MP4 button appears when Dailymotion publishes a direct file. Many public videos are stream-only, so the honest result is the preview without a fake download.
Check a link
Short links and full video URLs are both recognized.
- Copy the video URL from the share menu or the address bar.
- Paste it and press Get Download Links.
- Confirm the title and channel name.
- Save an MP4 if it is listed. Otherwise watch it on Dailymotion.
Restricted playback stays restricted
Premium, geo-blocked, and private videos are not unlocked. If you own the upload, use your Dailymotion account to download the original file.
