Save a LinkedIn Video Without an Extension
Copy the LinkedIn post link, paste it here, download the MP4. The whole thing runs on this page, so there is no browser extension to approve and no app to install.
The reason you need a tool at all: LinkedIn does not give you a Save option. A native feed video plays through a streamed player pointed at a temporary blob: address, so right-click Save As is greyed out and there is no obvious file to grab. Pasting the post URL here lets the tool fetch the actual video and hand you a plain MP4.
What This Cannot Do (Read This First)
Two things trip people up, and no downloader gets around either one:
- LinkedIn Learning courses will not download. They are a paid, DRM-protected library. The stream is encrypted, and encrypted video does not come out as a file. If that is what you came for, this is not the tool, and neither is any other paste-a-link site claiming otherwise.
- Connection-only and private posts need your access. The tool reads a public request, not your logged-in session. A video that only shows for your first-degree connections, or inside a private group, will not pull from a pasted link.
So this works for public post video and feed clips you can already open without signing in. That covers most of what people actually want to save.
How to Download a LinkedIn Video
- Open the post on LinkedIn, click the three dots on the post, and choose Copy link to post. On mobile, use Share, then Copy.
- Paste that post URL into the box on this page.
- Download. The MP4 saves to your device, to Downloads on desktop or the Files app on a phone.
Copy the link to the post, not a screenshot of the video and not the profile URL. The post link is what carries the video the tool needs to find.
If the post link does not work
Some embedded or reshared videos hide the real source. Open the post in a browser, open DevTools (F12, or Cmd+Opt+I on Mac), switch to the Network tab, filter by Media, and play the video. The request ending in .m3u8 or .mp4 is the source. Copy that URL and paste it instead. It is a bit of a hassle, but it is the reliable fallback when a plain post link comes back empty.
Who Saves LinkedIn Videos
Sales and marketing people, mostly. A rep who posted a walkthrough video wants the file back to reuse in an email sequence. A brand team is archiving a campaign video before the person who posted it leaves and the account gets reassigned. A recruiter is saving a candidate’s public intro clip to share internally. In each case the video is theirs to use, and LinkedIn just makes getting the file back harder than it should be.
For other platforms, the matching tool keeps the same no-extension flow: the video downloader hub covers 1000+ sites from one box, the Chrome video downloader handles the streamed web video Save As will not touch, and the link to MP4 converter turns any raw video URL into a direct MP4. To pull just the audio out of a saved clip, use extract audio from videos. All of these live under the downloader tools hub.
FAQ
How do I download a video from LinkedIn?
Copy the link to the LinkedIn post (the three-dot menu, then Copy link to post), paste it into the downloader on this page, and click Download. You get an MP4. There is no extension to install and no LinkedIn login involved, the tool reads the public post URL.
Can I download LinkedIn Learning videos?
No. LinkedIn Learning is a paid, DRM-protected library, and the encrypted stream cannot be saved as a file. Any tool claiming to rip LinkedIn Learning courses is either lying or handing you something you should not install. The honest option is LinkedIn Learning’s own offline mode inside its app for subscribers.
Why can’t I just right-click and save the video?
LinkedIn plays native video through a streamed player using a temporary blob: address, so there is no single file for Save As to write to disk. Pasting the post link lets the tool fetch the real video and rebuild it into one MP4.
Can I download someone else’s LinkedIn video?
Only if the post is public and you can open it without signing in. Connection-only posts, private group videos, and anything gated to your account will not pull from a pasted link. And downloading is one thing, reusing someone else’s video is a rights question, so keep it to content you have permission to use.
Do I need an extension or an app?
No. It runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. Nothing to install, and no permission prompt asking to read your LinkedIn activity.
Is it free?
The first few downloads are free to try. Unlimited use runs $19/month on the annual plan, with no credit card to start.
What quality do I get?
The MP4 comes back at the resolution LinkedIn served for that post. LinkedIn compresses uploads, so a downloaded clip matches what plays in the feed rather than the original master the poster uploaded.
