XVideos 1080p Download

How to download in 1080p

Paste the address of the video page into the box above and press the button. If the video has a 1080p version, it appears in the list with its approximate size. Click it and keep the page open until the download finishes.

1. Copy the address of the video page from the address bar.
2. Paste it into the box above and press the button.
3. Look for 1080p in the list of qualities. If it is missing, the video does not have a 1080p version.
4. Click 1080p. On a computer in Chrome, Edge or Opera, choose where to save the file.
5. Wait for 100%. The result is an MP4 file with H.264 video and AAC audio.

The HD qualities

The HD stream is an HLS stream. In plain words, the video is sent as many short pieces listed in a playlist, and each quality has its own set of pieces. The tool lists whichever of these the video has:

Resolution is the size of the picture in pixels. The number in the name is the height, so a 1080p picture is 1080 pixels tall. The frame sizes above are for a standard widescreen video; a video with a different shape has a different width.

What decides the top quality

The tool does not create qualities. It copies the stream the video site plays, piece for piece, into an MP4 container without re-encoding. So the highest quality you can download is the highest quality the video site streams for that video.

Many videos top out at 720p or 480p. When that happens, 1080p is simply not in the list. Stretching a 720p picture to 1080p would make the file bigger without adding any detail, so the tool does not do it.

The result page lists the qualities each video has, so pasting the link is the quickest way to check. 1080p is the highest quality the tool lists.

File sizes

A file's size is its bitrate times its length. Bitrate is the amount of data each second of video uses, and higher resolutions use more of it, so the file grows quickly as you go up.

These are rough ranges and vary by video. The result page shows the estimated size for the actual video, worked out from its bitrate and length.

As a rule of thumb, a 1080p file is about twice the size of the 720p file of the same video, and about four times the size of the 480p file.

When 1080p is worth it

• You watch on a large monitor or a TV, where the extra detail is easy to see.
• You want to keep the video at the top quality the site streams for it.
• You have room on the drive and a steady connection for a larger file.

When to pick 720p or lower

• You watch on a phone. On a small screen the difference between 720p and 1080p is small, and 720p is about half the size.
• The video is long and you are saving it on a phone. Phone browsers hold the whole file in memory until the end, so a very long 1080p video can fail when free memory is low. 720p or 480p fixes that.
• Storage is tight. 480p takes roughly a quarter of the space of 1080p.

For a small single file, there is also the SD quick file: the MP4 the site's player uses at standard definition, saved as one file with no joining step. The SD vs HD comparison puts the two side by side.

Long 1080p videos on a computer

In Chrome, Edge and Opera on a computer, the browser asks where to save the file and then writes it straight to disk while it downloads, so even long HD videos are fine. In Safari and Firefox a progress bar shows in the page, and the browser saves the file when it reaches 100%. The Windows, Mac and Linux guide covers both.

Speed depends on your connection and on the video site's servers. The page fetches a few pieces at a time in parallel. If a download fails, press the button again; it starts over, as there is no resume. Every quality saves as the same format, described in XVideos to MP4.
