How to download xHamster videos
Copy the link of the video page, paste it into the box above and pick a quality. Your browser saves the video as an MP4 with sound.
- Open the video on xhamster.com and copy the address from your browser's address bar.
- Paste it into the box at the top of this page and press the button.
- Wait a moment while the page lists the qualities the video has, each with an approximate file size.
- Click or tap the quality you want. The download starts right away.
- Keep the page open until it finishes. The MP4 is saved where your browser keeps downloads.
On a computer with Chrome, Edge or Opera, the browser first asks where to save the file. In Safari, Firefox and phone browsers, a progress bar shows in the page instead, and the file is saved when it reaches 100%.
Changed your mind? Press Cancel while it runs. If a download fails, press the quality again to start over. There is no resume, so it begins from the start.
Speed depends on your connection and on xHamster's servers. The page downloads a few pieces at a time in parallel.
What you get
You get one MP4 file with picture and sound together. The video is H.264 and the audio is AAC, a pair of formats that phones, computers and most TVs play without extra software.
Nothing is re-encoded. The tool saves the same stream the video site plays, so the picture matches what you see on xhamster.com. No watermark is added. More on the format in xHamster to MP4.
Qualities and file sizes
The list shows whatever qualities the video has, from 144p up to 1080p. Many uploads top out at 720p or 480p, so you won't always see 1080p. Each option shows an approximate size, worked out from the stream's bitrate and the video's length.
| Quality | Rough size per minute | 10-minute video |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | about 15–30 MB | about 150–300 MB |
| 720p | about 6–12 MB | about 60–120 MB |
| 480p | about 3–5 MB | about 30–50 MB |
| 240p | about 1.5–2 MB | about 15–20 MB |
| 144p | under 1 MB | under 10 MB |
These are rough ranges that vary by video. The result page shows the estimate for the actual video before you start. Tips for HD are in the 1080p guide.
The address shortcut
You can skip copy and paste. In the video's address, replace xhamster.com with xhamstervideodownloader.cc and press Enter. The video opens here, ready to save.
- Before:
https://xhamster.com/videos/some-name-xhAbC12 - After:
https://xhamstervideodownloader.cc/videos/some-name-xhAbC12
Only the domain changes; keep the rest of the address as it is. If the address starts with a country code, such as de.xhamster.com, or uses a mirror address, paste the full link into the box instead.
Phones vs. computers
The tool works in any current browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. What changes is how the file is saved.
| Device | Browser | Where the MP4 goes |
|---|---|---|
| Computer | Chrome, Edge, Opera | The folder you pick in the Save dialog |
| Computer | Safari, Firefox | Downloads, when the progress bar reaches 100% |
| iPhone, iPad | Safari (iOS 13 or later) | Files app > Downloads |
| Android | Chrome | Download folder, usually also in Gallery or Google Photos |
Chrome, Edge and Opera on a computer write the file straight to disk while it downloads, so even long HD videos are fine. Phones hold the whole file in memory until the end. A very long 1080p video can fail on a phone with little free memory, and picking 720p or 480p fixes that.

Which links work
Paste the address of one video page. These work:
- Video pages such as
xhamster.com/videos/some-name-xhAbC12 - Country versions such as
de.xhamster.com/videos/... - Mirror addresses such as
xhamster2.com,xhamster.desiandxhamster.one - Old-style links such as
xhamster.com/movies/1234567/video-name.html
What cannot be saved
The tool reads public video pages only, one video at a time. These don't work:
- Profile, channel, category, search and playlist pages
- Private videos and videos that were removed
- Paid or premium videos
- VR videos
xHamster has its own download button for some videos, often only when you're signed in to an account. This tool needs no account.
If xHamster changes how its pages work, the tool may stop working until it is updated. If a link fails, the troubleshooting checklist covers the usual causes.
No app, no account, no cookies
The download runs in your browser. It fetches the video's pieces straight from xHamster's own servers and joins them into one MP4 on your device. The video never passes through our server, and we don't store videos.
There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. It's free, and we don't set cookies. See how it works without an app, and read the details in our privacy policy.
You must be 18 or older to use this site. Save videos for personal use and respect the rights of the people who made them; see the terms of use.
Questions
Is xHamster Video Downloader free?
Yes. It's free, with no account, no app and no extension to install.
What format are the downloads?
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, with sound. It plays on phones and computers without conversion. See xHamster to MP4.
Can I download xHamster videos in 1080p?
Yes, when the video has 1080p. The list shows every quality the video offers, and many uploads top out at 720p or 480p.
How do I save an xHamster video on my phone?
Paste the link here, pick a quality and keep the page open until 100%. On iPhone the file goes to Files > Downloads; on Android, Chrome saves it to the Download folder.
Why does a long video fail on my phone?
Phones hold the whole file in memory until the end, so a long 1080p video can run out of room. Pick 720p or 480p instead.
Do you store the videos?
No. Your browser fetches the video straight from xHamster's servers and builds the MP4 on your device. The video never passes through our server.
Can I download a whole playlist or channel?
No. The tool saves one video at a time from its video page. Profile, channel, category, search and playlist pages don't work.
Is a watermark added?
No. Nothing is added and nothing is re-encoded, so the picture matches the stream on the site.
