How to get the 1080p version
Paste the video link into the box above. The result lists every quality the video has, with an approximate size for each. Click 1080p if it is there. If the top option is 720p, that is the highest quality the video has.
- Copy the video address from xhamster.com.
- Paste it into the box and press the button.
- Look at the quality list. The top entry is the highest the video offers.
- Click it and keep the page open until the download finishes.
What decides the top quality
The video does. The list shows what the video site streams for that video, anywhere from 144p up to 1080p. A video uploaded in 720p is streamed in 720p at most, and many uploads top out at 720p or 480p.
The tool saves the stream as it is. Nothing is re-encoded, so the picture is the same as what the site plays, and no watermark is added. It also means the tool can't turn a 720p video into 1080p.
There is no 4K option. The highest quality the tool lists is 1080p.
- 1080p (Full HD): the sharpest option, for computers and TVs.
- 720p (HD): sharp on phones and laptops, at less than half the size of 1080p.
- 480p: fine on a phone screen, and small.
- 240p and 144p: very small files for slow connections or little storage.
Approximate file sizes
Size grows with quality and length. Use this table as a rough guide:
| Quality | Per minute | 10-minute video | 30-minute video |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | about 15–30 MB | about 150–300 MB | about 450–900 MB |
| 720p | about 6–12 MB | about 60–120 MB | about 180–360 MB |
| 480p | about 3–5 MB | about 30–50 MB | about 90–150 MB |
| 240p | about 1.5–2 MB | about 15–20 MB | about 45–60 MB |
| 144p | under 1 MB | under 10 MB | under 30 MB |
These are rough ranges that vary by video. Before you start, the result page shows the estimate for the actual video, worked out from the stream's bitrate and its length, for example "about 230 MB".
Picking a quality on a phone
On phones, the whole file is held in memory until the download ends. A very long video in 1080p can fail on a phone with little free memory.
- Short clips: 1080p is worth a try.
- Long videos: choose 720p or 480p. They look sharp on a phone screen and avoid the memory problem.
- If a 1080p download fails, tap 720p. It starts over at the smaller size.
Keep the page open until 100%. Device steps are in the iPhone guide and the Android guide.
Long HD videos on a computer
On a computer, Chrome, Edge and Opera ask where to save the file and then write it straight to disk while it downloads. That makes them the simplest choice for long 1080p videos. In Safari and Firefox, a progress bar shows in the page and the file is saved at 100%.
Speed depends on your connection and on xHamster's servers. The page downloads a few pieces at a time in parallel. More in the Windows and Mac guide.
Questions
Why is there no 1080p option?
The video doesn't have it. The list shows every quality the video site streams for that video, and many uploads top out at 720p or 480p.
Can I download in 4K?
No. The tool lists qualities up to 1080p.
Is the 1080p file lower quality than the stream?
No. The stream is saved as it is, without re-encoding, so the picture matches what the site plays.
How big is a 1080p video?
Roughly 15–30 MB per minute, so a 10-minute video is about 150–300 MB. The result page shows the estimate for the actual video.
