LinkedIn Video Downloader

How to download a LinkedIn video, step by step

On desktop, open the post, click the three-dot (…) menu in its top-right corner and choose Copy link to post. On the mobile app, tap the same three dots on the post and pick Copy link to post. Paste whichever link you have into the box at the top of this page and press Download.

Within a few seconds you get the video as an MP4 with its sound, in 720p HD whenever LinkedIn has an HD copy. On a computer and on Android the file saves to your Downloads folder, ready to drop into a slide deck, an email, or a reupload.

iPhone works a little differently: Safari saves the file through the share sheet into the Files app rather than straight to the camera roll. To move it into Photos, open Files, tap the MP4 and choose Save Video. No LinkedIn account, app or extension is needed at any point.

What you can download from LinkedIn

The core case is video natively uploaded to a public post — a founder's update, a product demo, a conference clip — saved as a clean MP4 with its original audio. Reshared videos and video posts from company pages work the same way, as long as the post itself is public.

Event and LinkedIn Live recordings download too, once the broadcast has finished and is posted publicly on the event page or in a feed update. Video ads work as well when they're published as a public post you can copy a link to — many boosted posts are, which is what makes the tool useful for ad and competitor research. Ads that run only as in-feed 'dark posts' with no public URL can't be fetched, because there's no link to paste.

Documents and image carousels are a different animal. A LinkedIn carousel is either a multi-slide PDF document post or a set of still images — neither is video. For a PDF document post you don't need this tool at all: LinkedIn shows a download arrow on the document itself, so you can save the original PDF straight from the post. This page is for the video in a post, not the slides.

Which LinkedIn links work, and which don't

The tool accepts standard public post links. The cleanest is the one the three-dot menu's Copy link to post produces (linkedin.com/posts/…); a feed-update URL from your browser's address bar (linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:…) works too, as does a public event link, and shortened lnkd.in links usually resolve once expanded.

What won't work is anything that isn't a public post: a profile URL (linkedin.com/in/…) or a company-page URL isn't a video link, and posts inside private or member-only groups sit behind a login. If LinkedIn shows a "Sign in to view" wall on the post, no download tool can reach it. When a paste fails, open the post in a normal browser first, confirm it plays without logging in, then copy a fresh link.

Why a LinkedIn download fails

The most common reason is that the post isn't truly public. If it's visible only to connections, restricted to a group's members, or gated behind LinkedIn's login wall, the video file isn't served to the open web, and no third-party tool can fetch it. Any site claiming to pull private LinkedIn videos is overpromising — or fishing for your LinkedIn password, which you should never enter anywhere.

Deleted, expired or region-limited posts also fail, because the link resolves to nothing. An author can take a post down, and an event replay can be removed after the fact; once that happens there is nothing left to download.

If a clearly public post still won't download, the link itself is usually the culprit — a URL copied from a screenshot, an app preview or a truncated share can be malformed. Re-copy it with the three-dot menu's Copy link to post, make sure the post opens for a logged-out visitor, and try again.

No LinkedIn login, and why professionals use it

The tool never asks for your LinkedIn credentials, and it never needs to — everything is fetched from the public post, so there's no sign-in, no OAuth prompt and no password to hand over. That matters on LinkedIn, where a third-party tool asking to "connect your account" is a genuine account-safety risk; this one simply takes a link and returns a file.

The author isn't notified either. LinkedIn doesn't tell someone when their public video is downloaded, and because you never log in, nothing is tied to your profile.

The practical uses are professional: repurposing your own posts into a slide deck or newsletter, saving a talk or webinar clip for offline viewing on a flight, and pulling competitors' public video ads for research. Whatever the reason, download only public content and respect the creator's copyright — saving a video for personal reference is one thing, reposting it as your own is another.
