Download Dailymotion videos in MP4 format using a browser extension that detects available qualities and saves files locally without external converters.
Dailymotion Video Downloader is a browser extension that detects and downloads videos from Dailymotion pages. It works natively in the browser, removing the need for online conversion services or standalone apps.
Play a Dailymotion video and the extension identifies the available streams. The popup shows each quality option, from standard to high definition. Choose one, and the MP4 saves to your local drive.
Privacy and speed are both priorities. All media processing runs on your device, no video data passes through remote servers, and downloads proceed at your full connection speed.
No command line, no screen recording, and no extra workflow outside your browser.
