How do I download a video?

  • Desktop
  • iOS
  • Android
  • Mobile browser


You can’t download a video as a file to your device, but you can save the video in the VK Video app to later view it without needing an internet connection.

  1. Start the video in the VK Video app.
  2. Press the three dots icon at the top.
  3. Press Download.

How do I download a video uploaded to a chat to my device?
The VK mobile app lets you download videos to your device that you have previously uploaded to a chat yourself. To do so, do the following:
  1. Open the chat and tap on its name.
  2. Go to the Video tab above the attachment list.
  3. Videos that you have uploaded will have the title Video from [your first and last name]. Press the three dots icon next to the video you need → Save to gallery.
It is not possible to save videos from other people as a file. Be careful: programs that advertise downloading videos from VK are dangerous for your device and account. This can cause issues with your phone or computer, and your profile might get hacked.

To send a video file to your friend, upload it to VK as a file or to cloud storage, for example, Mail Cloud.
