The basics
What is a Dailymotion video downloader?
A Dailymotion Video Downloader is a tool that converts a Dailymotion video's URL into an MP4 file you can keep on your device, instead of only streaming it through Dailymotion's player. Every video on Dailymotion is identified by a unique URL, and that link is what a downloader uses to locate and retrieve the video.
LoveConverts' Dailymotion Video Downloader processes any supported URL you paste in, matching it to the corresponding video and preparing an MP4 copy at the quality you select. People generally want an MP4 copy for personal, offline viewing — watching later without a connection, or keeping a saved copy of a video they have the rights to use, rather than relying on Dailymotion's stream every time.
The tool works through your browser, with no separate software involved. Every step happens on this page — there's no redirect to a separate app or a required account at any point.
How to use it
How to download a Dailymotion video
- 1Open the Dailymotion video you want to save.
- 2Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. This is the same link you'd see if you were sharing the video with someone else — there's no need to visit a separate share menu or generate a special link.
- 3Paste it into the field above.
- 4Click Get Download Link. The tool locates the video tied to that link.
- 5Select your preferred quality, then click Download MP4 to save the video to your device.
Quality
Dailymotion video quality and file size
What quality options does the Dailymotion Video Downloader offer? Best Available, 720p, 480p and 360p.
Video resolution refers to how much detail a video contains — higher numbers generally mean a sharper, clearer picture. Best Available retrieves the highest quality version of that specific video that Dailymotion provides, which typically means the sharpest result among the options, along with the largest file.
720p, 480p and 360p step down in resolution and file size in that order. Resolution and file size scale together: a higher-resolution download carries more visual detail, which means more data to store, while a lower resolution reduces both. A lower resolution is often more practical when you're managing limited storage, downloading on a slower connection, or don't need full detail for how you plan to watch the video.
Not every Dailymotion video is guaranteed to be available at all four levels. What Best Available actually returns depends on the quality the original video was uploaded in — the downloader retrieves what's genuinely accessible for that video, not a fixed resolution promised across every download.
Links
Supported Dailymotion URL formats
LoveConverts recognizes three Dailymotion link formats:
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/XXXXXXXXXXThe standard video URL, pointing directly to a video's unique identifier.
https://dai.ly/XXXXXXXXXXDailymotion's shortened link format, commonly generated when a video is shared.
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/XXXXXXXXXX_titleA standard video URL with a readable title or slug appended after the identifier, which Dailymotion sometimes includes automatically.
All three ultimately point to the same kind of destination — an individual video — and the downloader handles them the same way. Copying the complete URL directly from Dailymotion, rather than editing or retyping it, is the most reliable way to get a link the tool can process correctly.
MP4
Download Dailymotion videos as MP4
MP4 is the format LoveConverts' Dailymotion Video Downloader produces. It's broadly compatible across phones, computers, and media players, so a downloaded video is very likely to play without needing extra software or codecs.
This makes MP4 a practical choice for saving a video for personal, permitted use — whether that's offline viewing, archiving a video you have rights to, or simply having a local copy instead of relying on a live connection to Dailymotion.
Any device
Download Dailymotion videos on mobile and desktop
On mobile, open the Dailymotion video in your phone's browser — Android and iPhone both work the same way — copy the URL, switch to LoveConverts' Dailymotion Video Downloader, and paste the link into the input field. From there, click Get Download Link, choose a quality option, and download the MP4.
On desktop, the process is the same: copy the video's URL from your browser's address bar on Windows or Mac, paste it into LoveConverts, and follow the same steps to generate your download.
There's no separate downloader application involved on either platform — the tool runs the same way in any modern browser, and you can paste a URL and download a video without creating an account or providing any personal information.
Troubleshooting
Why a Dailymotion URL may not work
A few things commonly cause a link to fail.
The URL is incomplete or was copied incorrectly
A partial or altered link is missing information the downloader needs.
The link is malformed
URLs typed by hand sometimes differ from what Dailymotion actually generates.
The source video is unavailable
A removed or unpublished video can't be retrieved, even if an old link to it still exists.
The content is restricted or inaccessible
Videos with access restrictions won't resolve to a downloadable file.
A temporary processing issue occurred
Re-copying the URL and pasting it again sometimes resolves this. Copying the URL fresh, directly from the Dailymotion video page you're viewing, is the most reliable way to avoid these issues.
Permitted use
Personal use, copyright and content rights
LoveConverts' Dailymotion Video Downloader is intended for personal use, limited to content you own or have the rights to download — the same notice appears above the downloader on this page, alongside a link to the full Terms of Service.
Downloading your own content, or content you have explicit permission to use, is appropriate. Downloading a video doesn't transfer ownership or copyright to the person downloading it — the original creator or rights holder retains those rights regardless of whether a copy has been saved elsewhere. Users should respect Dailymotion's applicable terms and avoid redistributing or commercially reusing downloaded content without the appropriate rights or permission to do so.

What quality options are available?

Does the Dailymotion Video Downloader require an app?
No, it works entirely in your browser.
Do I need to sign up?
No, there's no account or signup required.
Why isn't my Dailymotion URL working?
Usually because the link is incomplete, incorrectly copied, or the video isn't publicly accessible. Copying the URL fresh from the Dailymotion video page typically resolves it.
Can I download a Dailymotion video from a dai.ly link?
Yes, shortened dai.ly links are one of the supported URL formats.
Can I download private or restricted Dailymotion videos?
No, the downloader only works with videos that are publicly accessible through a standard link.
What is the difference between 720p, 480p and 360p?
Each is a progressively lower resolution, meaning less visual detail and a smaller file size moving from 720p down to 360p. Best Available sits above all three, retrieving the highest quality the source video actually provides.
Does downloading a Dailymotion video reduce its quality?
No, downloading doesn't change the video hosted on Dailymotion. The quality you select determines the resolution of your downloaded file, not the original source itself.
Is it legal to download Dailymotion videos?
It depends on the video and your rights to it. Downloading your own content, or content you have permission to use, is appropriate. Downloading and reusing someone else's video without permission can conflict with copyright law and Dailymotion's terms, so this tool is intended for personal use of content you own or have rights to.
