How to Download Video by Link
You can download video by link with saved.video from VK, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and RUTUBE: copy the URL of the video, open the tool for that platform, and save the MP4 in your browser. Below is where to go for each platform and what the service doesn't do.
The general pattern: link to file
The scenario is nearly the same on every platform: you need a direct link to a public video, a browser, and the saved.video tool for that platform. No sign-up on the site, no separate apps or extensions required. The file saves like any regular browser download.
- A link to one specific video, not to a channel, board, or profile
- The content has to open without logging into someone else's account
- Quality depends on what the platform provides - the service doesn't artificially "upscale" video

Tools by platform
- VK and vkvideo.ru - download VK video
- VK clips - a separate tool for vertical clips
- YouTube - download the file or watch it online via a link
- Instagram - Reels and video posts
- TikTok - videos without the service's watermark
- Pinterest - video pins
- RUTUBE - videos from rutube.ru
Forms: VK, VK clips, YouTube, watch YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, RUTUBE.
Step by step on any device
- Copy the URL - In the app: "Share" then "Copy link". In a browser - the video page's address.
- Open the right tool - Pick the platform in the saved.video catalog. VK may require signing in via VK OAuth - that's a quirk of the VK API.
- Paste the link and find the options - Wait for the title, preview, and list of available qualities to appear.
- Save the file - Tap a quality. On Android the file usually lands in "Downloads"; on iPhone - through "Files"; on a computer - in the browser's downloads folder.

What the service doesn't do
- It doesn't extract a separate MP3 / audio track
- It doesn't promise 4K if the platform only serves a lower quality
- It doesn't download private content, Instagram Stories, or anything unreachable via a direct link
- It isn't built for mass redistribution of other people's videos - the focus is personal viewing
