How to Save Video from Link

In the digital age, video has become an important way to express information. Nowadays, many people prefer to get information through videos rather than reading slightly boring texts. In addition, watching videos is also a way for many people to kill time and relax in their daily lives. Many video websites have also achieved great results, such as YouTube, Netflix, etc. However, it is worth noting that although most websites can play videos, they do not directly provide video download services. For example, Disney Plus is one of the most well-known online streaming platforms. Tens of millions of users watch various movies, TV series, etc. on Disney Plus every day. However, due to copyright protection and other reasons, we cannot download movies directly on Disney Plus. Of course, other websites may not be able to provide us with video download services for various reasons. So, after we get the link of an online video, how can we download this video for offline viewing? This tutorial will introduce 6 tools that can help you download videos from URL, and they can all accomplish this task excellently.

Part 1: How to Save Video from Link

At present, there are many tools that can download a video directly to the computer according to the link of an online video. Some of them are professional software, some are online websites, and some are browser extensions. After trying to use many video downloading tools myself, I found that the following 5 tools can accomplish the task of downloading videos from links excellently.

1. CleverGet All-in-One

Among many online video download tools, I think CleverGet All-in-one is the most professional, because I was surprised by its powerful functions when I used it for the first time. CleverGet has a client program with a very simple interface. Even if we use it for the first time, we can easily master the method of using it to download videos. As a professional video download tool, CleverGet supports thousands of websites for downloading videos, including: YouTube, Facebook, Paramount Plus, etc. Therefore, we often only need the help of CleverGet to download videos from various websites. In other words, I would like to call CleverGet the best YouTube video downloader, the best Disney Plus downloader, etc. CleverGet's excellence is also reflected in the quality of the videos it downloads. CleverGet can download videos from websites losslessly. More importantly, it can download videos with a resolution of up to 8K from video websites and save them in MP4 or MKV format. Before downloading videos, CleverGet can detect all available subtitles and audio tracks for us to choose from and download. When downloading videos, CleverGet helps us get rid of ads that pop up automatically in online videos. Therefore, CleverGet provides us with an excellent offline video viewing experience. In addition, CleverGet downloads videos very quickly. Thanks to the hardware acceleration technology, CleverGet can download videos from the website in batches.

Depending on your computer's operating system, you can download the corresponding installation package from CleverGet's official website. Currently, CleverGet supports Windows and macOS operating systems. Install CleverGet on your computer and run it.

Step 2: Open Target Video Page

There is an address bar at the top of the CleverGet client. We can paste the link of the target video into the address bar, and then use CleverGet's built-in browser to directly access the web page where the online video is located. When playing the video online, CleverGet will automatically start to detect all the information of the video.

Step 3: Download Video

After the detection is completed, CleverGet will use a small window to display all the information of the target video. You can select the resolution, subtitles, audio, etc. of the target video, and then click the "Download" button to download the video.

Step 4: Check the Downloading Process

When CleverGet is downloading the target video, you can click the "Download" icon in the upper right corner to see the current progress of CleverGet downloading the video.

2. Keepvid

Unlike CleverGet, Keepvid is an online website that mainly provides free video download services. Currently, Keepvid mainly provides services for downloading YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter videos. Although the video download service provided by Keepvid is completely free, the default format of the video it downloads is MP4, and the resolution of the video it supports is only 360P to 480P. The steps to use Keepvid to download video from link are as follows:

Step 1: Visit the homepage of Keepvid.

Step 2: Paste the link of the target video into the text box on the Keepvid homepage, and then click the "Download" button. Then, Keepvid will automatically recognize the information of the target video and download it to your computer.

3. Catch.Tube

Catch.Tube is not only an online website, but also has a browser extension that mainly provides online video download services. Therefore, we can either visit Catch.Tube's website or install Catch.Tube's extension in the browser to use its services directly. Although Catch.Tube's service is also completely free, the videos it downloads can only reach HD quality at most. If you have installed Catch.Tube's extension, you can refer to the following steps to use it to download video from URL.

Step 1: Use a browser to visit the webpage where the target video is located.

Step 2: Click the Catch.Tube extension in the browser. Catch.Tube will identify the target video that can be downloaded on the current webpage and then download it to the computer.

4. 4K Video Downloader

4K Video Downloader is a desktop video downloader that can batch download videos to MP4, MKV, and FLV formats according to the link. Currently, 4K Video Downloader supports websites including YouTube, Rumble, Dailymotion, etc. Although 4K Video Downloader can complete the video download task excellently, many of its functions require payment, such as: extracting subtitles when downloading videos. Here are the specific steps to use 4K Video Downloader to download video from link:

Step 1: Run the 4K Video Downloader client program.

Step 2: Click the "Paste Link" button in the upper left corner. Then, paste the URL of the target video into the text box of 4K Video Downloader. Finally, click the "Download" button. 4K Video Downloader will recognize the video information in the link and download it to your computer.

5. CocoCut

CocoCut is a free browser extension that is compatible with Chrome and Edge browsers. CocoCut can quickly identify the information of all videos available for download on the web page currently visited by the browser. Then, it will display the information of the video to the user for selection and download. CocoCut can mainly download videos as MP4, but the resolution of the video is up to 480P. The following is the specific operation method of using CocoCut to download video from URL:

Step 1: Install the CocoCut extension in the browser. Then, visit the web page where the target video is located in the browser.

Step 2: Start the CocoCut extension. Wait for CocoCut to parse the information of all downloadable videos on the web page. After successful parsing, CocoCut displays all the information of all videos available for download. You can find the video you want to download and click the "Download" icon to download it to your computer.

Part 2: Alternatives to Saving Videos from a Link

Of course, in some cases, the video download tool may not be able to parse the information of the video in the link, resulting in our inability to download the target video. However, this does not mean that we have no way to deal with this. We can consider using a clever method to save the target video. Here, I recommend CleverGet Recorder. CleverGet Recorder is a completely free streaming video recording software. CleverGet Recorder can record the online video being played without any quality loss and save it as MP4 or MKV file.
