You can also try the yandex.ru/video/preview/… link itself — it is supported in beta.

Download videos from Yandex Video (yandex.ru/video) by link
“Download a video from Yandex” is a tricky request, because Yandex has no video hosting of its own in the usual sense. Yandex Video (yandex.ru/video) is a search engine and aggregator: it finds videos on Dzen, VK Video, Rutube, YouTube and dozens of other sites and plays them inside its own player. That is why most downloaders simply give up on a yandex.ru/video/preview link. Skachok can handle it in beta: we try to identify the original source and pull the file from there. When that works, you get an MP4 in the same quality as on the source platform — up to 720p for free and 1080p on a paid plan. When it doesn’t, there is a reliable workaround, described below.
The dependable way to download any video from Yandex Video is to take the link to its source. Below the player Yandex always shows where the video comes from and offers a “Watch on …” button: click it, copy the address of the page that opens and paste it into Skachok. Dzen, VK Video, Rutube, YouTube, Odnoklassniki — all of them are supported directly, with no beta and no surprises. The same principle answers the question “how do I download a video from Yandex Browser”: the browser only displays the page, while the video lives on the site whose address is in the bar at the top. Copy it — and no extensions, plugins or programs are needed on either your computer or your phone.
What you get. For free: MP4 up to 720p, 5 downloads a day (3 without an account), up to 3 links at a time and an 8-second timer before the download. The Lite plan at $1.99/mo unlocks 1080p and MP3 audio; signing up gives you 2 days of Pro for free. Files are not stored on the server — the video is fetched on your request and handed straight to you. What Skachok does not do: it doesn’t download from Kinopoisk (protected paid content), and it doesn’t bypass closed or private videos. Everything else — videos from Dzen, VK Clips, Rutube and YouTube found through Yandex, as well as videos at public Yandex Disk links — downloads from a single link: “Find”, pick a quality, “Download”.
FAQ
Why does a Yandex Video link sometimes fail to resolve?
Yandex Video is not a hosting service but an aggregator: a yandex.ru/video/preview page plays a video from Dzen, VK Video, Rutube, YouTube or another site inside its own player. Support for these links is in beta — some resolve, some don’t. If it doesn’t work, open the original source (the link below the player) and paste that address — that always works.
How do I download a video from Yandex Browser?
Yandex Browser doesn’t host videos itself — you are watching a video from some website. Copy the page address from the address bar (Dzen, VK, Rutube, YouTube, Odnoklassniki and others) and paste it into Skachok. No extensions needed: everything runs in the browser itself, including on your phone.
Can I download videos from Dzen?
Yes, dzen.ru/video/watch/… links are fully supported: MP4 up to 720p for free and 1080p on the Lite plan. Most videos on Yandex Video actually lead to Dzen.
Can I download from Yandex Disk or Kinopoisk?
Yandex Disk — yes: paste a public link to a video or a folder (disk.yandex.ru or yadi.sk), and Skachok downloads the file or lists every video in the folder. Kinopoisk — no: it’s a paid service with protected video.
How much can I download for free?
5 videos a day with an account and 3 without one, up to 3 links at a time, quality up to 720p, with an 8-second timer before the download. The Lite plan from $1.99/mo unlocks 1080p and MP3 audio.
How do I download a Yandex video to my phone?
On Android and iPhone it’s exactly the same: copy the link, open skachok.com in any browser, paste it and click “Find”. No app required. The file lands in Downloads on Android or in Files → Downloads on iPhone.
Is the service free?
Yes. The free plan gives you up to 720p, 3 downloads a day without an account and 5 with one. Paid plans unlock 1080p, 2K, 4K, more downloads and full speed.
Do I need an account?
Not for basic downloads. Signing up with your email takes 20 seconds and gives you 2 days of the Pro plan as a gift, no card needed.
What is the maximum quality?
Up to 4K (2160p) on Max, 2K on Pro, 1080p on Lite and 720p for free. It depends on the source video.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes: iPhone, Android and tablets. The file goes to Downloads; on iPhone you can move it to Photos via Share → Save Video.
