Frequently asked questions

Everything people write in about, in one place. Platform specific answers sit lower down, grouped by site.

The basics

Is SaveClipX free?

Yes. There is no account, no payment step, no daily counter and no advert wall between you and the file.

Do you keep the videos I download?

No. The file is streamed from the source through to your browser and never written to storage on our side, so when the transfer ends there is nothing left to delete.

Do I need an app or a browser extension?

No. Everything runs on the web page, on phones and on desktop. There is an optional browser extension that adds a Save button to the post you are watching, but it only saves you the copy and paste, and the site works exactly the same without it.

Can I download private posts?

No. Only content that anyone can open without logging in can be read. Private accounts, friends only posts, members areas and region locked videos stay out of reach.

Is the quality reduced?

No. Files are passed through exactly as the source serves them, with no re-encoding step, so the download is as sharp as the upload allows. Where a platform offers 4K, 4K is listed.

Can I take just the audio?

Yes. Every result has an Audio tab with an MP3 or the original audio track when the post has one.

Can I save photos and carousels, not only video?

Yes. Image posts, carousel slides, slideshows and pins appear under the Photos tab, and every result offers its cover image on its own.

How many links can I do at once?

One at a time on a platform page, or up to ten at once on the bulk downloader.

Does the creator find out?

No. Nothing is sent to them and view counts are not affected by saving a copy.

Why did my link fail?

Usually the post is private, deleted or region locked, or the link points at a profile rather than a single post. Open it once in a browser, let it settle on the real address, then copy that.

Am I allowed to reuse what I download?

Saving a public clip for personal use is generally fine. Reposting it as your own or using it commercially without permission is not. The rights stay with whoever made it.

Работают ли ссылки vk.ru и vk.com?

Да. ВК отдаёт одно и то же видео на обоих адресах, а короткие ссылки vk.cc открываются автоматически.

Можно ли скачать видео из закрытой группы?

Нет. Всё, что требует входа в аккаунт, остаётся недоступным, поэтому сохранить можно только открытые для всех ролики.

Поддерживаются ли VK Клипы?

Да. Клипы, это обычные видео ВК с коротким адресом, и они возвращаются простым файлом MP4.

Нужен ли аккаунт ВКонтакте?

Нет. Ни аккаунта, ни расширения, ни оплаты.

Почему у некоторых роликов нет 1080p?

Мы предлагаем только те версии, которые сохранил сам ВК. Старые загрузки и записи с телефона часто заканчиваются на 480p или 720p.

Остаётся ли файл у вас?

Нет. Он идёт с серверов ВК прямо на ваше устройство, в нашем хранилище ничего не записывается.
