Free LinkedIn Video Downloader

You want to download a LinkedIn video. Probably your own, because you want to put it on YouTube or in a deck or just keep a copy before the post scrolls out of reach forever.

A post link, a feed link, or an lnkd.in link from your phone. Pasting the whole share message is fine.

Now for the post that goes around it.

Oiti trains on what you have already posted and drafts the next one the way you actually write. You start with something on the page and edit from there.

Paste the link to the post below. You get the file, in whatever quality LinkedIn has, and where we can read the file size we show it before you commit. No account, no email, no watermark, and no captcha standing between you and a 3MB file.

One thing worth knowing up front, since most tools in this category leave it out: the video never passes through us. We read the post’s public page, find the address LinkedIn is already serving the video from, and hand that address to your browser. The download is between you and LinkedIn.

How to download a LinkedIn video

Three steps, no account, and the file comes straight from LinkedIn.

  1. 1

    Copy the link to the post

    On desktop, use the three dots on the post and "Copy link to post". On your phone, share and copy, which gives you an lnkd.in link. Both work here. So does pasting the whole share message with the link buried in it.

  2. 2

    Paste it in and press Enter

    It takes about a second. You get the video to check, plus a button for each quality LinkedIn has, with the file size on it where we can read it.

  3. 3

    Pick a quality and save it

    The biggest one is first. If you are putting it back on social, take the biggest. If you are emailing it to somebody, take the small one.

What this can and cannot save

Most of the disappointment in this category comes from tools that fail without saying anything. Four of the seven we tried did not give us a file, and two of those just spun. So here is the honest boundary before you paste anything.

It works on: any public LinkedIn post with a video uploaded to LinkedIn. Yours or anyone’s, as long as the post is public. Post links, feed links, and the lnkd.in shortlinks your phone produces.

It does not work on:

  • Private posts, and posts set to connections only. Not a policy choice on our side. LinkedIn does not put the video’s address in the page unless the post is public, so when we look at it logged out there is nothing there. Any tool claiming otherwise is either signed in as somebody or telling you a story.
  • Posts that embed a video from somewhere else. A YouTube or Vimeo or Loom link in a post is a link, not an upload. There is no LinkedIn file behind it.
  • LinkedIn Learning. Course videos sit behind a paid licence and are not public posts.
  • Deleted posts. Nothing to read.

If any of those happens, you get a sentence telling you which one. You will never sit and watch a spinner wondering whether to try a different link.

Which quality should you pick

LinkedIn does not store one video. It stores several versions of the same clip at different sizes, and it serves whichever one fits the screen you are watching on. Most downloaders grab one of these, call it HD, and never tell you which one you got.

We show you all of them. The label is the actual resolution, read out of LinkedIn’s own address for the file, and where the size loads it is the real byte count rather than an estimate.

Reposting it somewhere else, or cutting it in an editor? Take the biggest. Every re-upload compresses the file again, so starting small compounds.

Emailing it, or dropping it in Slack? Take the smaller one. A 720p clip of a talking head is hard to tell apart from 360p in a chat window and it is a fifth of the size.

Only one option showing? That post only has one version. Nothing is being withheld.

One thing we cannot do: make it better than what LinkedIn has. If a post was uploaded at 360p, 360p is the ceiling. Any tool advertising 4K on LinkedIn video is selling you an upscale, not a download.

What LinkedIn allows

Worth reading, because none of the other tools ranking for this will tell you.

LinkedIn’s User Agreement section 8.2 asks you not to copy or distribute content from the platform without the content owner’s consent, and not to use automated means to copy from the service. That is LinkedIn’s rule, and it does not have an asterisk saying "unless the post was public".

So the honest position is this. Your own video is your own video, and saving a copy of something you made and uploaded yourself is the case with nothing wrong in it. That is the use we built this around and the one we would point you at. Somebody else’s video is somebody else’s work, and reusing it is a conversation to have with them, not a technical problem to route around. A message asking usually gets a yes.

We are not affiliated with LinkedIn, which is a trademark of LinkedIn Corporation. If a video you own has turned up somewhere it should not have, get in touch and we will help where we can.

None of this is legal advice, and we are not going to pretend it is.

How this actually works

  1. You paste a link. We pull the post’s ID out of it.
  2. We ask LinkedIn for the post’s public page. The small embed version first, because it is quicker, then the full one if the video is not in it. Either way it comes back in about a second.
  3. That page lists the video’s addresses on LinkedIn’s own network, one per quality. We read them and send them to your browser.
  4. Your browser fetches the file from LinkedIn and saves it.

The video does not pass through us at any point. We do not save it, cache it, or keep the addresses. Nothing about the post or the link you pasted is stored anywhere after the response goes out, and there is no account here to attach it to even if we wanted to.

That is not a principled stand on our part. It is just the shortest way to build the thing. It does mean the claim holds up, which is more than most of this category can say.

LinkedIn video specs, if you are uploading rather than downloading

Half the people who land on a page like this are actually about to post a video, not save one. LinkedIn’s own limits, from its help pages:

  • Up to 30 minutes long, and at least 3 seconds.
  • Up to 5GB.
  • MP4 is the format to use.
  • Square (1:1) and vertical (9:16) fill more of a phone screen than widescreen does.
  • Captions matter more than anything else on this list. Most people watch with the sound off.

If you are repurposing this video into a post, the LinkedIn post formatter handles the line breaks and bold text LinkedIn's editor will not give you. The rest of the free set lives on the Oiti free tools hub.

Frequently asked questions

Is this free?
Yes. No account, no email, no watermark, and no paid tier waiting behind it. There is a limit of 5 videos a day per connection, which exists so nobody points a script at it, and it resets on a rolling 24-hour window.
Do I need to be logged in to LinkedIn?
No. Nothing here touches your LinkedIn account. We never ask you to sign in and we could not read your feed if you wanted us to.
Can I download a private LinkedIn video?
No, and neither can anything else that does not ask you to log in. LinkedIn only puts a video’s address in the page when the post is public. If it is private, there is nothing there to find.
What format do I get?
MP4, exactly as LinkedIn stores it. Nothing is converted, so nothing is lost in a second round of compression.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, and lnkd.in links from the mobile share sheet work as they are. Where the file lands afterwards depends on your browser: on iOS it goes to Files or the Downloads folder in Safari, on Android to Downloads.
Is there a watermark?
No. The file is byte for byte what LinkedIn is serving.
Do you keep the videos?
No, and we could not. The file goes from LinkedIn to your browser without passing through us. We do not store the link you pasted either.
Is it legal to download LinkedIn videos?
Your own, yes. Somebody else’s is their copyright, and LinkedIn’s User Agreement asks you to get the owner’s consent before copying content from the platform. The longer version is further up this page. The short one is to ask them.
Why did it say there is no video in the post?
Because it is not a LinkedIn upload. Posts that link out to YouTube, Vimeo or Loom show a player, but that player belongs to the other site, so there is no LinkedIn file to save. Image posts and document carousels have no video either.
Can I download LinkedIn Learning videos?
No. Those are licensed course content behind a paywall, not public posts, and this tool cannot reach them.
Can I get 4K?
Only if a 4K version exists, and on LinkedIn it usually does not. We show you every version LinkedIn has and label it honestly. Any tool promising 4K on a 720p upload is upscaling it, which makes the file bigger without making the picture better.
