Steps for Android
Any current Android browser works. Chrome comes on most Android phones, so the steps use it.
- Open the video on xhamster.com in Chrome.
- Tap the address bar and copy the address.
- Paste it into the box at the top of this page and tap the button.
- Pick a quality from the list. Each option shows an approximate size.
- Watch the progress bar in the page and keep the tab open until it reaches 100%.
- Chrome then saves the MP4 to your Download folder.
Keep the page open until 100%. Closing the tab stops the download, and it has to start over.
The address shortcut
Faster than copy and paste: on the video page, tap the address bar, 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
For a country address such as de.xhamster.com, or a mirror such as xhamster.desi, paste the full link into the box instead.
Chrome, Samsung Internet and Firefox
All three work the same way in the page: the progress bar fills up, and at 100% the browser saves the MP4 to its downloads.
| Browser | While it runs | Where to find the file |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Progress bar in the page | Download folder; menu > Downloads |
| Samsung Internet | Progress bar in the page | Its downloads; menu > Downloads |
| Firefox | Progress bar in the page | Its downloads; menu > Downloads |
In any of them, the Downloads entry in the browser menu lists the file and opens it with one tap.
Finding the video: Download folder and Gallery
Chrome saves to the Download folder on your phone. You can reach it three ways:
- In Chrome: tap the menu (three dots) and choose Downloads.
- In the Files app (My Files on Samsung phones): open Downloads.
- In Gallery or Google Photos: the video usually shows under Downloads.
Gallery apps differ from phone to phone. If you don't see the video there, the Files app shows the Download folder directly.
Picking a quality on Android
Phones hold the whole video in memory until the download ends. A very long 1080p video can fail on a phone with little free memory. If that happens, pick 720p or 480p; they look good on a phone screen and need much less room.
| Quality | Rough size per minute |
|---|---|
| 1080p | about 15–30 MB |
| 720p | about 6–12 MB |
| 480p | about 3–5 MB |
| 240p | about 1.5–2 MB |
These vary by video. The result page shows the estimate for the actual video, so check that you have enough free storage before you start. The 1080p guide explains the HD options.
If the download fails
- Press the quality button again. The download starts over; there is no resume.
- Try a lower quality for long videos.
- Check that the link is one video page. Profile, channel, category, search and playlist pages don't work.
- Private, removed, paid or premium videos and VR videos can't be saved.
- If an ad blocker blocks xHamster's video servers, pause it for this site and try again.
The full list is in the troubleshooting checklist.
Questions
Where do downloaded videos go on Android?
Chrome saves them to the Download folder. You can open them from Downloads in the Chrome menu, from the Files app, and usually from Gallery or Google Photos under Downloads.
Does it work in Samsung Internet?
Yes. A progress bar shows in the page and at 100% the browser saves the MP4. Open it from Downloads in the browser menu.
Why did my download stop?
Check two things first: the tab must stay open until 100%, and a long 1080p video may need more memory than the phone has free. Keep the page open and try 720p or 480p.
Do I need an app from the Play Store?
No. It works in the browser you already have, with no app, extension or account.
