Download Dailymotion videos in MP4 HD
isaveall is a free online tool to download Dailymotion videos as MP4 in the best quality the video offers, up to 1080p, or as MP3. Dailymotion streams in HLS, so we assemble the pieces into one file for you. Paste the video link or a dai.ly short link and save it without an account.
How to download
Open the video, use Share or the address bar and copy the link. dailymotion.com/video/... and dai.ly/... links work.
Paste the link into the box above (or type it). dailymotion.com/video/ links and dai.ly short links are read; a playlist or channel link isn't a video. The result shows the resolution next to the file name, and geo-blocked videos fail before anything downloads.
Tap Download MP4 for the video, or Download MP3 on the row below for the sound. It saves to your gallery or Downloads.
What you can download
How Dailymotion serves video and how we fetch it
Dailymotion is the French video platform used by broadcasters, newspapers and sports leagues to publish clips and full programs, often in HD. Its player streams in HLS with several qualities; this tool reads the stream, selects the best one and assembles it into a single MP4 with the original audio, so the file plays in any app.
Content published by media partners may be geo-blocked or limited to certain countries; when that happens the download fails with a not found error, because our server cannot see the video either.
Quality, length and what fails
Dailymotion encodes every upload into several HLS renditions, up to 1080p when the source allows it. This tool always takes the highest one and rebuilds it into a single MP4 with the audio track that goes with it, so the file looks and sounds like the player at its best setting. There is no quality selector yet; if you need a smaller file for messaging, compress the MP4 afterwards with any video app.
Videos are limited to 30 minutes here. Dailymotion hosts full-length programs and replays of an hour or more; those are refused before anything is downloaded, so you get an immediate message instead of a long wait. Age-restricted videos, videos that a media partner limited to certain countries and private videos need a session or a specific location and fail with a not found error.
Copying the right Dailymotion link
The link can come from the address bar of dailymotion.com (the video page, whose address contains /video/ followed by a code), from the Share button under the player, which produces a dai.ly short link, or from the Dailymotion app. If the video is embedded on a news site, click the Dailymotion logo in the player to open it on dailymotion.com and copy the address from there. Playlist and channel pages are not videos: open the one you want and copy its own link.
Playlists, channels and subtitles: what a Dailymotion link carries
Dailymotion groups videos into playlists and channels, and the tools that advertise playlist downloads simply loop over the videos one at a time. This page takes one video per link. Open the playlist, click the video you want and copy its own address; the playlist page has no file behind it. Channel pages, search results and the Dailymotion home page work the same way.
Subtitles are the other thing people come looking for. Dailymotion serves them as a separate track next to the video, and this tool does not export them: the MP4 you get carries the picture and the sound, never a burned in caption or a sidecar subtitle file. If you need the text, the Dailymotion player shows it and you can copy it from there.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Dailymotion downloader free and safe?
Yes. There is no account, no app and no limit for normal use. The file is rebuilt from Dailymotion's stream and sent to you without being stored. Google Analytics sets the site's only cookie, which counts visits; nothing for advertising. Very fast repeated use may trigger a short check.
Why does the download take longer than on other sites?
Dailymotion serves video as hundreds of HLS segments; we join them into one MP4 before sending it.
Do dai.ly short links work?
Yes. They redirect to the video page and are resolved.
Can I pick a lower resolution on Dailymotion?
No. We always take the best rendition Dailymotion serves, up to 1080p, and the result shows that resolution next to the file name. If you need a smaller file for messaging, compress the MP4 afterwards with any video app.
Does it work with geo-blocked videos?
If Dailymotion blocks the video in our server's region, the download fails. Most public videos are not blocked.
Can I save just the sound of a Dailymotion video?
Yes. Tap Download MP3 on the second row; the audio is taken from the best rendition on our server and encoded at 128 kbps. There is also a dedicated Dailymotion to MP3 page.
Do playlists work?
Paste the link of each video; playlists are not expanded.
Do you keep my Dailymotion videos?
No. The stream is assembled on the fly and sent to you as it is built; nothing is written to disk and nothing remains once the download finishes. We don't log full links either.
Can I get the subtitles or an SRT file?
No. The MP4 contains the picture and the audio only. Dailymotion keeps subtitles in a separate track that this page does not export, and neither does the file the player hands you.
Does the MP4 keep the audio of the stream?
Yes. Dailymotion sends audio and video as separate HLS tracks; we merge them into one MP4 with the audio that goes with the rendition, so the file plays with sound in any app.
Can I download private or age-restricted videos?
No. Private videos and videos behind Dailymotion's age gate need a logged-in session, so they fail. Public videos work.
Is it legal to download Dailymotion videos?
That depends on your country and on the video's license. Download only content you have the rights to or the creator's permission for, and don't repost or monetize other people's videos.
