Quick checklist
- Is it one video page? Profile, channel, category, search and playlist pages don't work.
- Is the video public? Private, removed, paid and premium videos can't be saved.
- Is it a VR video? VR videos aren't supported.
- On a phone, is the video long and in 1080p? Pick 720p or 480p.
- Did the page stay open until 100%? Closing the tab stops the download.
- Is an ad blocker blocking xHamster's video servers? Pause it for this site.
- Still stuck? Press the quality button again. The download starts over.
The link is the wrong type
The tool reads one video page at a time. These links 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
Profile pages, channels, categories, search results and playlists don't work. Open the video you want, then copy the address of that page.
Using the shortcut? Replace only xhamster.com with xhamstervideodownloader.cc and keep the rest of the address. For country and mirror addresses, paste the full link into the box instead.
The video can't be saved
Some videos are out of reach for the tool:
- Private videos
- Videos that were removed
- Paid or premium videos
- VR videos
The tool only reads public video pages. xHamster has its own download button for some videos, often only with an account, which may be an option for a video this tool can't save.
The download stops on a phone
Phones hold the whole file in memory until the download is done. A very long video in 1080p can fail on a phone with little free memory.
- Pick 720p or 480p and try again.
- Close other apps and tabs to free up memory.
- Stay on the page until it reaches 100%.
Phone steps are in the iPhone guide and the Android guide.
The tab was closed or reloaded
The download runs in your browser tab. If you close the tab or reload the page before it finishes, the download stops. There is no resume, so press the quality button again to start over.
On a computer, Chrome, Edge and Opera write the file to disk as it downloads, which helps with long videos. See the PC and Mac guide.
An ad blocker is in the way
Your browser fetches the video pieces straight from xHamster's own servers. Some ad blockers and privacy extensions block those servers, and then the download can't start or stops partway.
Pause the blocker for this site, reload the page and try again.
Other things to try
- Press the quality button again. Each try starts from the beginning.
- Try another browser, for example Chrome or Edge on a computer.
- Check your free storage against the size shown on the result page.
- Check your connection. Speed depends on your connection and on xHamster's servers.
If xHamster changes how its pages work, the tool may stop working until it is updated. If a public video page still fails after all of this, send us the link through the contact page.
Questions
Why doesn't my link work?
It may not be a single video page. Profile, channel, category, search and playlist pages don't work, so open the video and copy that address.
Can I resume a failed download?
No. Press the quality button again and it starts over from the beginning.
Why does the download fail on my phone but not my computer?
Phones hold the whole file in memory until the end, and a long 1080p video can be too much. Pick 720p or 480p.
Can I save private or VR videos?
No. Private, removed, paid or premium videos and VR videos aren't supported.
