Dailymotion Video Downloader
To download a Dailymotion video, copy its URL from the address bar or the Share menu, paste it into the box on this page, and press Download. Videos save as MP4, and the audio can be extracted as MP3 using the format toggle. No account is required.
Only download content you own or have the right to save. Respect each platform's terms — this tool is for personal use, not redistribution.
On iPhone? Arca saves links like this straight into an encrypted vault — never into a shared Downloads folder.

Copy the video link
Take the URL from the address bar, or use Share then Copy link. Short dai.ly links work too.

Pick video or audio
Leave the toggle on Video for an MP4, or switch to Audio (MP3) to pull just the soundtrack. Both run server-side.

Quality you can expect
Videos download at the resolution Dailymotion published, up to 1080p. Unlike most platforms here, Dailymotion exposes the real video title, so files arrive with a readable name rather than a numeric ID.
What doesn't work
Stated plainly, because finding out after three failed attempts is worse.
- Geo-restricted videos fail if they are blocked in the region the download server sits in.
- Private and password-protected videos cannot be fetched.
- Partner content with DRM is not supported and never will be.
- Playlists are not supported — one video per download.
One of the few platforms with usable filenames
Most platforms covered here identify posts by an opaque ID, and downloads inherit it. Dailymotion is the exception: it carries a real title through to the download, so files land with a name that describes what is in them. If you are archiving anything at volume, that difference compounds quickly.
Titles are preserved with their original characters, including non-Latin scripts. Only characters that would break a file path are replaced.
Geo-restrictions behave differently here than in your browser
The download runs from a server, not from your computer, so what matters is whether the video is available in that server's region rather than yours. A video you can watch may still fail, and occasionally the reverse.
When a video is blocked, the error says so rather than reporting the video as missing.
On iPhone
The same thing, into an encrypted vault
A browser download lands in a shared Downloads folder that other apps, backup services, and anyone holding your phone can read. Arca does this same paste-a-link step on iPhone, except the video is encrypted the moment it arrives and never passes through your Camera Roll.
Questions
Can I download Dailymotion videos as MP3? +
Yes. Switch the toggle to Audio (MP3) before pressing Download. Conversion runs on the server, so nothing needs installing.
Why do Dailymotion files have proper names? +
Dailymotion exposes the video title through its API, and the download inherits it. Most other platforms identify posts by numeric or alphanumeric IDs, which is why downloads from them look cryptic.
What if the video is geo-restricted? +
The download is fetched by a server, so the relevant region is that server's, not yours. Geo-blocked videos fail with an error rather than downloading a broken file.
