XVideos Downloader Not Working
Find your symptom in the table below. Most problems come from the type of link, the kind of video, or a phone low on memory, and each has a quick fix.
Symptom, cause and fix
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The link is not accepted | It is a profile, channel, tag, search or playlist page, not one video | Open the video itself and copy the address of that page |
| The link is not accepted | The address is cut off or has extra text around it | Copy the full address again from the address bar |
| A premium video cannot be read | It is an XVideos RED video | Not supported |
| An interactive video cannot be read | Interactive videos are sets of branching clips, not one file | Not supported |
| The video cannot be found | The video is private or has been removed | Not supported; check that it opens on the video site without signing in |
| 1080p is missing from the list | The video has no 1080p version | Pick the highest quality listed; many videos top out at 720p or 480p |
| The download fails partway on a phone | The whole file is held in memory and free memory ran out | Pick 720p, 480p or the SD quick file, and start again |
| The download stopped after leaving the page | The page must stay open until 100% | Press the quality again and keep the page open |
| A failed download did not pick up where it stopped | There is no resume | Press the quality again to start over |
| The download is slow | Speed depends on your connection and the video site's servers | Pick a lower quality, or try again later |
| Nothing saved in Chrome, Edge or Opera on a computer | The Save dialog was closed without choosing a folder | Click the quality again and pick a folder |
| Safari asks "Do you want to download?" | Safari confirms downloads before saving | Tap Download to let it save the file |
| The file is not in Photos on iPhone | Safari saves to the Files app, not Photos | Open Files > Downloads, then use Share > Save Video |
| The file is not in Gallery on Android | Chrome saves to the Download folder | Open the Files app > Download, or Chrome's Downloads list |
| Every video fails, even ones that worked before | The video site changed its pages | The tool needs an update; try again later |
| The iPhone steps do not work on an old device | The steps need iOS 13 or later | Update iOS if your device allows it |
Check the link first
The tool reads one public video page at a time. A link works when it points to a single video:
- New-style:
xvideos.com/video.abcd1234ef5/some_name, sometimes with two extra number parts, as inxvideos.com/video.abcd1234ef5/12345678/0/some_name - Old-style:
xvideos.com/video12345678/some_name - Country subdomains such as
de.xvideos.com, and mirror domains such asxvideos.esandxvideos2.com
Pages that list many videos, such as profiles, channels, tags, search results and playlists, do not work. Open one video from the list and copy that address instead.
Videos that cannot be downloaded
- XVideos RED (premium) videos.
- Interactive videos. They are sets of branching clips rather than one file, so there is no single video to save.
- Private or removed videos. The page is not public, so the tool cannot read it.
The video site sometimes has its own download button for some videos, often only with an account. That is a separate option on the site itself.
Downloads that stop or fail
The download runs in your browser. It fetches the stream pieces straight from the video site's own servers, a few at a time, and joins them into one MP4. A few things can interrupt it.
Phone memory
Phone browsers hold the whole file in memory until the end. A very long video in 1080p can fail on a phone with little free memory. Pick 720p or 480p, or the SD quick file, a smaller single MP4 that saves with no joining step. Closing other apps first also helps. The SD vs HD comparison shows how the options differ in size.
Leaving the page
Keep the page open until 100%. On a phone, keep the screen on and stay in the browser until the download is saved.
Starting over
There is no resume. If a download fails, press the quality button again and it starts from the beginning. Use Cancel when you want to stop a download on purpose.
Slow downloads
Speed depends on your connection and on the video site's servers. The page fetches a few pieces at a time in parallel. A lower quality is a smaller file and finishes sooner: 720p is roughly half the size of 1080p, and 480p roughly a quarter. The result page shows the estimated size of each option before you start.
Finding the finished file
If the download reached 100% but you cannot find the MP4, look in your browser's downloads. On iPhone and iPad it is in Files > Downloads (iPhone guide); on Android, in the Download folder (Android guide). Chrome, Edge and Opera on a computer save it to the folder you picked.
When the tool itself stops working
If every link fails, including ones that worked before, the video site has probably changed its pages. The tool may stop working until it is updated, so try again later. If the problem stays, write to us from the contact page with the video link, your device and browser, and what you saw.
FAQ
Why does the tool say my link does not work?
It is probably not a single video page. Profile, channel, tag, search and playlist pages do not work; open the video and copy its address.
Why did my download stop partway?
On a phone, the whole file is held in memory, and a long 1080p video can run out of room. Pick 720p or 480p, keep the page open, and press the button again to start over.
Can I resume a failed download?
No. Press the quality button again and the download starts over from the beginning.
Why can I not download an XVideos RED video?
XVideos RED (premium) videos are not supported, and neither are interactive, private or removed videos.
