How to Save a Video From the Internet: Web-savers, Extensions, and Apps:
For us today, the Internet is simply an integral part of our lives. It is one of the sources of all kinds of information, entertainment, finding like-minded people, and of course, inspiring content. Motivational, inspirational, and all sorts of content can be found on almost every Internet site and social network, of course.
But the problem with the Internet is familiar to many: the sheer volume of information that changes so fast that we can’t absorb all that the Internet gives us. The point is that it would be nice to save an essential and exciting video, for example, so it would not get lost among other content and download it before a user deletes it irretrievably.
Well, I suggest looking at ways or rather tools for Internet video saving. Whether it’s a SoundCloud download instrument, or just a Facebook, Insta video saver, the important thing is that downloading videos is possible and in more ways than one. So, I’ll show you how to download videos from the Internet (different websites and social networks).
How to Get a Video with a Web Saver
Online downloaders are quick savers as they don’t need an installation, and some of them even a registration. There are also separate tools for downloading, e.g., only FB videos or only IG videos. But there are also multifunctional tools that allow you to save videos from various internet sites.
Here are examples of some of such online instruments:
- Keep downloading (to download Vimeo video content as well as from Facebook, IG, Twitter, Liveleak, Dailymotion);
- 9xbuddy (save from Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Dailymotion, Soundcloud, etc.);
- KeepVid (up to 28 sites);
- YooDownload (YouTube, Vimeo, FB, Insta, Twitter, Vid.me, SoundCloud);
- ClipConverter (a vast variety of sites);
- OnlineVideoConverter (YouTube, LiveLeak, TeacherTube, etc.);
- VLC Media Player (but this one should be installed).
To get a video with web-based savers, you need to copy a video link, insert it into an online downloader, and press a save button. Then, it automatically downloads a video into the “Downloads” folder.
How to get a Video with a Browser Extension
A browser extension is another answer to the “how to save a video from the internet” question. To save videos this way, you need to install an extension first. Then, only find a video on a website you wish to get, and press a save button on a browser (the position of a download button depends on the extension you have installed).
Here are some browser extension examples:
- YouTube Download Plus or Easy Video YouTube downloader Express for Firefox;
- Video Downloader Professional for Chrome (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.),
- SaveFrom.net (for all browsers; videos from different sites);
- Video DownloadHelper (for Safari; video from Google Videos, YouTube, DailyMotion, etc.).
How to get a video with an app
If you are a frequent downloader and using an online instrument is not your option, your choice may fall on apps. They are always designed to help you download videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and other sites directly from a mobile or a desktop.
Video Grabber (desktop app); VideoHunter, SnapDownloader, Freemake (Windows, Mac); OffMP4 (Android); Videoder (Android & Windows), DownloadMate, Total files (iPhone) are some of the uploaders for different devices that should be installed.
To download a video, you should first download an app and then start downloading. In general, all such applications have a similar download principle: you have to copy a video link and insert it into an app. But of course, the download principle may be different depending on the application.
Conclusion
You are free to download videos so you can access them around the clock and not have to go back on the Internet to enjoy your favorite ones every time; plus, it’s not always the case that your internet connection works perfectly. Whatever the reason for downloading is, it is essential to remember one thing: using someone else’s content for financial gain or claiming the video as your own is a violation of copyright law. Any breach of it can get you in trouble. So respect the rights of the author and enjoy the downloaded video honestly.
