How to Download VK Video on PC
The desktop workflow: copy the URL from the VK address bar, paste it into saved.video, and save the MP4 to your Downloads folder. No VK sign-in, software, or extensions.
Why a separate guide for PC
On a computer the link is the easiest part: the video address is already in your browser bar. Long videos, movies, and stream recordings are also more comfortable to download on a PC - more space and a steadier connection.
You don't need any "VK downloader" Chrome extensions: saved.video works in a regular browser and never asks you to install plugins or sign in.
Step by step on a computer
- Open the video on VK - In a separate tab, open the video on vk.com or vkvideo.ru and copy the address from the browser bar.
- Open saved.video - Go to the "Download VK Video" page.
- Paste the video link - Paste the video tab address (or owner_video ID) into the field and click "Get file."
- Download the MP4 - Pick a quality. The file goes to your browser's Downloads folder - open the download list with Ctrl+J.
Which quality to pick
The service lists every quality VK serves for the video. The file is never re-encoded - you get exactly what VK stores.
- For watching on a monitor - the highest available quality
- For sending in a messenger - 480p or 360p: the file is much smaller
- Older videos may top out at 360p–480p - that is the source limit
Private videos and shared PCs
- Public videos download without signing in - nothing is left behind on a shared computer
- For a private video the form offers a VK sign-in; click "Log out" when you are done
- Never paste an address with access_token into messengers "to check it"
