XVideos Download by Link

Your download link is the video page address

An XVideos download needs no special download link: the address of the page that plays the video is enough. Paste it above, and the result lists the qualities that video has, each with an approximate size.

1. Open the video so it plays on its own page.
2. Copy the full address of that page.
3. Paste it into the box at the top of this page and press the button.
4. Click a quality, and your browser saves the video as an MP4 with sound.

A link that works has /video. followed by a code of letters and numbers, as in /video.otlhbvd41a3/, or the older /video followed by a number, as in /video12345678/.

Where to find the right link

On a computer

With the video page open, click once in the address bar. The whole address is selected, so copy it with Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on a Mac). From a list of videos, you can also right-click a thumbnail and choose Copy link address (Copy Link in some browsers).

On a phone or tablet

Phone browsers often show only the domain in the address bar, so tap the bar to bring up the full address before you copy. The Share button is often simpler: in Safari, tap Share, then Copy; in Chrome on Android, open the menu, tap Share, then Copy link. Both copy the page you are on, so open the video first. The iPhone and iPad guide covers the rest of the steps, including where the MP4 ends up.

Open the video, not the list

Search results, tag pages, profiles, channels and playlists show many videos at once, so their address belongs to the list. Tap the video you want and copy the address of its own page.

Link forms that work

The box accepts these forms, with or without https:// and www. in front. The codes are made up; your link has its own.

Other country subdomains work like de.xvideos.com, and mirrors such as xvideos.es and the other numbered xvideos domains are accepted too.

What you can leave in the link

• The name at the end. The video is found by its code, so the name may also be missing.
• The two number parts some new-style links carry after the code.
• Anything after a question mark, such as a tracking code. The box ignores it.

Links that fail, and why

A link fails when it does not hold the full address of one video page. The usual cases:

Links that pass but cannot be saved

Some links have the right form, but the video cannot be saved: interactive videos are sets of branching clips rather than one file, and private or removed videos have no public page for the tool to read.

The shortcut: swap the domain

You can skip the box. In the video address, replace the domain, such as www.xvideos.com, with xvideosdownloader.cc, keep everything after it, and open the edited address. The result for that video loads here.

• www.xvideos.com/video.otlhbvd41a3/30254871/0/some_name becomes xvideosdownloader.cc/video.otlhbvd41a3/30254871/0/some_name
• de.xvideos.com/video.abc123de45/some_name becomes xvideosdownloader.cc/video.abc123de45/some_name

With a country subdomain or a mirror, replace the whole domain, not only its ending. The shortcut follows the same rules as the box, so a profile, search or playlist address will not open a video here. If editing an address on a phone is awkward, paste the link into the box instead.

When a pasted link is rejected

If the box says your link is not a single-video link, go through these steps in order:

1. Check that what you pasted starts with the address and contains /video. and a code, or /video and a number.
2. If words came along in front of the address, such as a title, delete them.
3. If it is a list, profile or search address, open the video and copy its address.
4. If the address looks cut off, copy it again from the video page.
5. If it is an embed link, open the video on the video site and copy that address instead.

If the link is accepted but the lookup fails, the video itself is the problem: it may be private, removed or premium. Check that it plays in a private browser window without signing in; if it does not, the tool cannot read it either.

When correct links fail for every video, the video site may have changed its pages, and the tool may not work until it is updated. The troubleshooting guide covers that and other problems.
