How to Save xHamster Videos From a Link (URL Downloader Guide)
- You need the video page URL, the one that contains /videos/.
- On desktop, copy it from the address bar. On mobile, use Share → Copy link.
- Paste it into DownloaderxAI (or our homepage box, which copies it and opens the right app).
- Profile, search and playlist links won't work. Open the video first.
"Just paste the link" sounds simple, and it is, as long as it's the right link. A lot of "failed" downloads turn out to be a link that points somewhere other than the video itself. Here's how to get it right the first time.
What a correct xHamster video link looks like
The link you want points to a single video page. It usually looks like this:
https://xhamster.com/videos/some-video-title-1234567
The key part is /videos/. xHamster also runs mirror domains (for example with a number in the name), and those work too, as long as the path is a video page.
These will not work:
- Profile or channel pages (
/users/...,/channels/...) - Search results or category pages
- Shortened or tracking links that redirect through other sites
- A link to the site's homepage
How to copy the link on each device
Windows / Mac (any browser): open the video, click the address bar once (it selects the whole URL), press Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on Mac).
Android: in the xHamster app or Chrome, tap Share → Copy link. In Chrome you can also tap the address bar and the copy icon.
iPhone / iPad: tap Share (the square with an arrow) → Copy. Then see our iPhone guide, since iOS needs a workaround to actually save the file.
Paste it and save
- Open DownloaderxAI on Windows, Mac or Android.
- Paste the link into the box.
- Choose a quality and click Download.
Shortcut: paste the link into the box on our homepage first. It checks the link is a valid xHamster video, copies it to your clipboard, and shows the right app for your device. Then you just paste it in the app.
Common link mistakes (and quick fixes)
| Problem | What happened | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "No video found" | You copied a profile, search or playlist page | Open the video itself and copy again |
| Link has extra text around it | Copied from a message with other words | Paste into a note, keep only the https://... part |
| Works on desktop, not on phone | Mobile share added a tracking redirect | Open the link in your browser first, then copy from the address bar |
| Link opens a login wall | The video is private or restricted | Only videos you can play can be downloaded |
Tips for saving lots of videos
- Keep links in a note as you browse, then paste them into the app one by one when you're on Wi-Fi.
- Rename files after downloading so you can find them later. Video titles get long.
- Back up favorites to an external drive or a private cloud folder; phones get lost.

Frequently asked questions
What is an xHamster saver or URL downloader?
It's any tool that takes an xHamster video link and returns the video as a file. DownloaderxAI does this on Windows, Mac and Android.
Can I download from xHamster mirror domains?
Generally yes, as long as the link opens a single video page that plays in your browser.
Why can't I just right-click and save the video?
xHamster streams video as many small segments rather than one file, so "Save video as" either isn't offered or saves something useless. A downloader puts the segments back together into one file.
