Dailymotion Downloader: Videos, Channels and Playlists in HD
Dailymotion is where newsrooms, sports organisers, broadcasters and agencies such as NASA post their clips. NeoDownloader keeps them on your disk: paste a clip's address or its dai.ly link, a channel, a playlist or the address of a search, and every video it leads to becomes an MP4 with sound, titled as on Dailymotion. No account is involved: public videos download as they are.

How to Download Dailymotion Videos
Dailymotion gives a download button only to the person who uploaded a video, inside Dailymotion Studio. For a viewer, keeping what they watch - one clip, a handful or a whole channel - takes three steps:
One-time setup: download NeoDownloader and install it. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The steps below are what you repeat each time.

Copy a Dailymotion Address
On Dailymotion, open the clip and copy the address bar, or press Share and copy the short dai.ly link - either works. For a channel, a playlist or the results of a search, copy the address of that page. Clips from different places are copied one by one.

Create projectGet the Videos
Choose where the files go and click Create project. Downloading starts right away, with no sign-in: one MP4 per clip, with sound, titled as on Dailymotion. The project stays in the list, so a later run brings only what is new.
Save Dailymotion Videos in HD and 4K
Many clips on Dailymotion come in several sizes, and some reach 1440p or 4K. NeoDownloader takes the largest one under the ceiling you set in the wizard and saves it as an MP4 whose picture and sound are already in one file.
That ceiling stops at 1080p in the free version. With Premium it goes on to 1440p and 4K where the clip has them. The program neither upscales a clip nor encodes it again.
Some videos do not download: a video behind a password, a video Dailymotion does not show in your country, and a live broadcast that is off the air.
Download Dailymotion Videos, Channels and Playlists by Their Addresses
- A video - dailymotion.com/video/ and the video's code
- A link from the Share button - dai.ly/…
- A channel - dailymotion.com/ followed by its name, or dailymotion.com/user/…
- A whole playlist - dailymotion.com/playlist/…
- The videos a search finds - the address after searching on Dailymotion, dailymotion.com/search/…
- Clips from all over - their links pasted one per line, as a single project
Dailymotion Video Downloader Features
What a channel, a playlist or a search turns into
Playlists Under Their Own Names
A playlist's project takes the playlist's title from Dailymotion, and a channel's takes the name in its address, so you can tell projects apart at a glance.
A Search as a Project
Search on Dailymotion, copy the address of the results and paste it: the videos found download into one project, named after your search.
Every Video Knows Its Page
The clip's title on Dailymotion names the file. Its page stays attached: “Found on” in the properties shows it, and “Open on the site” takes you there.
Watch Them in the App
Double-click a clip to play it inside NeoDownloader, and move on to the next one in the project from the same view.
Dailymotion Downloader FAQ
Is there a free Dailymotion video downloader?
Yes: NeoDownloader costs nothing to download and runs on your computer, saving Dailymotion clips as MP4 files from the links you give it. The free version has no time limit; Premium lifts its limits on the number of files per project.
How do I download a video from Dailymotion?
Dailymotion offers its own download button only to uploaders, in Dailymotion Studio. To keep someone else's clip, copy its address or dai.ly link, paste it into “New project” in NeoDownloader and create the project: the MP4, with sound, is saved to your folder.
Do I need a Dailymotion account?
No. Anything the public can watch on Dailymotion - a clip, a channel, a playlist, a search - downloads without signing in, and NeoDownloader does not ask you to.
How do I download multiple Dailymotion videos at once?
Paste all their links into “New project”, one under another, and they come down together as one project. When they share a channel or a playlist, that page's address does the job by itself.
Can I download a whole Dailymotion channel or playlist?
Yes. Paste the channel's address (dailymotion.com/ and its name) or the playlist's (dailymotion.com/playlist/…) into “New project”. The project takes the channel's name or the playlist's title, and a later run adds only clips published since.
Can I download Dailymotion search results?
Yes. Run the search on Dailymotion, copy what the address bar shows (dailymotion.com/search/…) and paste it into “New project”: the clips the search lists under Videos download as one project named after your words.
What quality are Dailymotion videos downloaded in?
Each clip comes in its best version up to the ceiling set in the wizard: 1080p at most in the free version, higher with Premium where Dailymotion has it. The picture is not upscaled or re-encoded.
Can I download Dailymotion videos in 4K?
Yes, with Premium, for clips Dailymotion has in 4K: set the wizard's quality to “Up to 2160p (4K)” or higher. In the free version the same clip arrives in 1080p.
Can I download Dailymotion videos to MP4?
Yes. Each clip lands as an MP4 with picture and sound in one file, named by its Dailymotion title, with no conversion step.
Is there a Dailymotion downloader online or as a Chrome extension?
No, NeoDownloader is installed on your computer. That is why it can work through an entire channel, playlist or search in one project and put the clips straight into your folder, rather than passing them through a website.
