How to Download Dailymotion Videos in HD
Dailymotion is one of Europe's biggest video platforms: series, sports, news, music. The site has no “Download” button, but Skachok does: paste the link and get an MP4 up to 1080p for free (MP3 on paid plans), with no software to install.
For example: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xb8i3pm
How to download — step by step
- 1
Copy the video link
On the website, open the video and copy an address like dailymotion.com/video/x8abcde. In the app, tap “Share” → “Copy link” — you get a short dai.ly/x8abcde address, which works too.
Tip: The video ID starts with the letter x — for example x8k2f1p. If the address contains ?playlist=…, there is no need to remove anything.

Paste the link into Skachok
Paste the link into the field on the home page and click “Find”. You see a preview, the duration and the options: MP4 by quality and MP3.
Tip: Dailymotion often restricts viewing by country. Skachok requests the video from its own server, so a video that is unavailable where you are may still download.

Download the file
Pick a quality and click “Download”. The file is saved to your Downloads. Without an account — up to 720p and 3 downloads a day; 1080p is available on Lite and above.
Tip: Long videos (films, matches) are prepared on the server — watch the progress on the card, the file starts downloading once it is ready.
Why download videos from Dailymotion
Dailymotion has a lot that YouTube doesn't: TV broadcasts, sports highlights, rare recordings — and all of it gets deleted often.
- Watch an episode of a show or a match without ads or player stutter.
- Save a rare recording — Dailymotion regularly removes videos after rights-holder complaints.
- Take an episode on the road — on a phone or tablet with no internet.
- Extract the music or speech as MP3.
Supported links
Any of these links will do — the full one from the browser or the short one from the app’s Share button.

On your phone and computer
On iPhone
In Safari, paste the link and tap “Download”. The file lands in Files → Downloads; to move it to Photos, open it and choose “Share” → “Save Video”.
On Android
In Chrome the MP4 is saved to the Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery.
On a computer
- Copy the address from the browser bar, paste it on skachok.com and click “Find”. The file is saved to “Downloads”.
- For 1080p and above we merge video and audio on the server — it takes from 10 seconds to a couple of minutes.
- If your player has no sound, open the file in VLC or pick another quality.
