LinkedIn Video Downloader
Download any LinkedIn video as an MP4. Free, no signup.
How to download LinkedIn videos in 3 steps
About ten seconds, the same on a phone as on a laptop.
1. Copy the link to the post
Click or tap the three dots on the post, then Copy link to post. The address bar of an open post works too.
2. Paste it above and press Download video
The tool shows who posted it and a preview of the clip. Each quality LinkedIn stores gets its own button, with the file size.
3. Pick a quality and save the MP4
Press a quality to save the file. It's named with the last 8 digits of the post's ID, such as linkedin-video-18406400-720p.mp4.
Download a LinkedIn video on iPhone, Android or a computer
Same three steps everywhere. Only where you copy the link and where the file lands change.
iPhone or iPad
In the LinkedIn app, tap the three dots on the post, then Copy link to post. Paste it on this page in Safari.
Saved to: Files, in Downloads. Open it, tap Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos.
Android
Tap the three dots on the post, then Copy link to post, and paste it on this page in Chrome.
Saved to: Downloads. Google Photos and your gallery app pick it up from there.
Mac or Windows
Copy the link from the post's three-dot menu. Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox all work.
Saved to: Your browser's downloads folder, usually Downloads.
LinkedIn video to MP4: no conversion needed
The file is already an MP4, with sound and no watermark, so there's nothing to convert.
- Format
- MP4
- Plays on every phone and computer
- Quality
- HD, usually 720p
- Every size LinkedIn stores, often 720p and 640p
- Sound
- Included
- Watermark
- None
- Account
- Not needed
- Daily limit
- None
The MP4 opens in QuickTime, VLC and Windows Media Player, and it goes into CapCut, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve as it is.
You get the best size LinkedIn stores, not the author's original file. LinkedIn re-encodes every upload, so a clip filmed in 4K still downloads at LinkedIn's top stored size.
Which LinkedIn videos can you download?
Any video a logged-out visitor can play. The tool never signs in to LinkedIn.
| Where the video is | Works? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A public post by a member | YesYes | Copy the post's link |
| A company page post | YesYes | Copy the post's link |
| A LinkedIn Live that has ended | YesYes | Wait for the recording |
| A short lnkd.in link | YesYes | Paste it as it is |
| An image, GIF or PDF post | YesYes | You get those files |
| A connections-only post | NoNo | Ask the author for the file |
| A group post | NoNo | Ask the author for the file |
| A YouTube, Vimeo or Loom preview | NoNo | Download it from that site |
| A LinkedIn Learning course | NoNo | Use the Learning app |
| A profile or article link | NoNo | Copy the post's own link |
It works as a LinkedIn downloader for any public post. Paste an image or carousel post and you get its files instead, and the LinkedIn image downloader shows what each kind of post gives you.
Should you save a LinkedIn video or download it?
Download it when you need the file. LinkedIn's Save button only bookmarks the post.
- Bookmark only
Save it on LinkedIn
Three dots, then Save. The post waits under My items, but you need LinkedIn to watch it, and it's gone if the author deletes the post.
- A file you keep
Download the MP4
Paste the link above. The file plays offline, stays after the post is deleted and opens in any video editor.
- No file
Repost it
Repost shares the video with your network, with the author's name, reactions and comments still on it.
Save works for watching later. Download when the video goes into a deck, a training session or an edit, or when it's your own and you've lost the original.
A prospect's video is research too. Quote one point from it and your first message shows you watched. With personalized LinkedIn outreach, a note like that goes into the message as a merge field.
The people who reacted to the video care about its topic. LinkedIn message automation sends them a connection request and follow-ups from your own account, and stops when someone replies.
Why can't I download this LinkedIn video?
Find the message you see, then the fix.
We could not read a post at that link
The post is connections-only, in a group or deleted, or the link opens a profile or an article. Copy the post's own link from its three-dot menu.
LinkedIn did not let us open that post
LinkedIn turned the request away. Wait a minute and try again. A second try usually works.
This is a live or streamed video
A Live isn't one file while it runs. Try again once the recording is saved to the post.
You get images or a PDF instead
The post has no video file. You get what it does hold: its images, its GIF or its PDF.
The file opens in a new tab
Your browser played the video instead of saving it. Right-click it there and choose Save video as.
The video looks blurry
Pick the top quality button. If it's still soft, it was uploaded that way, and LinkedIn has no sharper copy to give.
Is it legal to download LinkedIn videos?
Yes, for your own use. Posting someone else's video as your own needs their permission.
| What you want to do | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Watch it later or offline | YesFine |
| Keep a copy of your own video | YesFine |
| Show it inside your team | YesFine, keep it internal |
| Upload it as your own post | NoOnly with permission |
| Use it in ads or elsewhere | NoOnly with written permission |
The video belongs to whoever made it. LinkedIn's User Agreement leaves ownership with the member who posted it, and a public post isn't a licence to reuse it. With permission, credit and tag the author. This isn't legal advice.
Citing a clip in a deck or a report? Give the author's name and the post's date, which the LinkedIn post date extractor reads from the same link.
