Start an xHamster download
Paste the link of one xHamster video into the box above and choose a quality. The download runs in your browser and saves an MP4 with sound. It's free and online, with nothing to install.
- On xhamster.com, open the video and copy its link.
- Paste the link into the box at the top and press the button.
- Look at the size listed next to each quality, then pick one.
- Leave the page open while the download runs.
Prefer not to copy links? Change xhamster.com in the video's address to xhamstervideodownloader.cc and press Enter, and the video opens here. Country and mirror addresses need the paste box instead.
How long an xHamster download takes
Download time is file size divided by connection speed. Sizes are in megabytes (MB); connection speed is in megabits per second (Mbit/s, shown as Mbps in speed tests). A megabyte is 8 megabits, so: size in MB × 8 ÷ speed in Mbit/s = seconds.
The tables apply that to the rough sizes per minute from the xHamster Video Downloader home page: about 15–30 MB for 1080p, 6–12 MB for 720p and 3–5 MB for 480p.
10-minute video
| Quality (size) | 10 Mbit/s | 25 Mbit/s | 50 Mbit/s | 100 Mbit/s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (150–300 MB) | 2–4 min | 50 sec–1.5 min | 25–50 sec | 12–25 sec |
| 720p (60–120 MB) | 50 sec–1.5 min | 20–40 sec | 10–20 sec | 5–10 sec |
| 480p (30–50 MB) | 25–40 sec | 10–16 sec | 5–8 sec | 2–4 sec |
30-minute video
| Quality (size) | 10 Mbit/s | 25 Mbit/s | 50 Mbit/s | 100 Mbit/s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (450–900 MB) | 6–12 min | 2.5–5 min | 70 sec–2.5 min | 35–70 sec |
| 720p (180–360 MB) | 2.5–5 min | 1–2 min | 30–60 sec | 15–30 sec |
| 480p (90–150 MB) | 70 sec–2 min | 30–50 sec | 15–25 sec | 7–12 sec |
For a 60-minute video, double the 30-minute times. For a 5-minute clip, halve the 10-minute ones.
These are arithmetic estimates at your full connection speed from start to finish. Real downloads are often slower, because xHamster's servers can send the pieces more slowly than your connection could take them. Treat the tables as the shortest likely wait.
For a closer figure, use the size on the result page: a video listed at "about 230 MB" works out to 230 × 8 ÷ 25, or roughly 75 seconds at 25 Mbit/s. The page pulls a few pieces at once, in parallel, but it can't beat your connection or the video site's servers.
Full-length and long videos
With long videos, the quality you pick matters most. A full 60-minute video comes to roughly 0.9–1.8 GB in 1080p, 360–720 MB in 720p and 180–300 MB in 480p.
On a computer
Chrome, Edge and Opera open a Save dialog, then write the video to disk as the pieces arrive. Nothing has to fit in memory, so a full-length 1080p video is fine; just pick a drive with room for the size shown.
In Safari and Firefox, the MP4 is saved when the progress bar reaches 100%, so leave the tab open until then. For very long 1080p videos, Chrome, Edge or Opera is simpler.
On a phone
Phone browsers keep the whole file in memory until the download ends. If the phone is short on free memory, a very long 1080p download can fail.
So for very long videos, pick 720p or 480p from the start. Both hold up well on a small screen, and a 30-minute video in 480p is about 90–150 MB instead of 450–900 MB in 1080p.
The 1080p guide explains when HD is worth the size, and the iPhone guide shows where the saved file goes on iPhone and iPad.
Downloading several videos
The tool saves one video at a time, each from its own video page. There is no batch mode, and playlist, channel and search pages don't work.
- Start the first video and wait until it finishes.
- Paste the next link into the box on the same page, or open the next video in another tab and use the address shortcut.
- Repeat until you have them all.
Going one by one gives each download your whole connection, and if one fails, only that one starts over.
Collect the links first, for example in a note, so you can paste them one after another.
On a phone, stay on this tab until the current video reaches 100% before you open the next one.
What slows a download down
If a download takes much longer than the tables suggest, check these:
| Cause | What to do |
|---|---|
| Weak Wi-Fi signal | Move closer to the router, or plug a computer in with a cable. |
| Other devices streaming or downloading on the same network | Wait until they finish, or download at a quieter time. |
| Mobile data with a weak or busy signal | Switch to Wi-Fi, or pick a lower quality so there is less to fetch. |
| Phone screen turned off, or the tab left in the background | Keep the screen on and this tab in front until 100%; phone browsers may pause a hidden page. |
| xHamster's servers sending slowly | Nothing on your side changes this. A lower quality means fewer megabytes to wait for. |
Wi-Fi, mobile data and data caps
Mobile data speed shifts with signal strength and network load, so for full-length videos a home Wi-Fi connection is often steadier. Every download also counts in full against your data plan: a 30-minute video can use up to 900 MB in 1080p but about 90–150 MB in 480p. On a capped plan, use Wi-Fi or choose 480p.
If a download stalls, press Cancel and pick the quality again. There is no resume, so it starts over, and a lower quality may finish sooner. More causes are in the troubleshooting checklist.
Questions
How long does an xHamster download take?
It depends on the file size and your connection. At 25 Mbit/s, a 10-minute 720p video takes about 20–40 seconds and a 30-minute 1080p video about 2.5–5 minutes, if xHamster's servers keep up.
Can I download a full-length xHamster video?
Yes. On a computer, Chrome, Edge and Opera write it straight to disk, so length isn't an issue there. On a phone, choose 720p or 480p for very long videos.
Can I download several videos at once?
No. The tool saves one video at a time. When one finishes, paste the next link, or open the next video in another tab with the address shortcut.
How much mobile data does a download use?
The full size shown on the result page. A 30-minute video can be up to 900 MB in 1080p, so on a capped plan use Wi-Fi or pick 480p.
Is the xHamster download free?
Yes. It works online in your browser for free, with no account, no app and no extension.
