Try it: turn any video link into a SaveVidr link

Paste a link below and get the shortcut version.

Trick 1 — swap the domain

Watching a video in your browser? Click the address bar and replace the website's name with savevidr.com. Keep everything after it the same. Press Enter and SaveVidr opens with the video already loaded.

Original linkChange it to
youtube.com/watch?v=abc123savevidr.com/watch?v=abc123
youtube.com/shorts/abc123savevidr.com/shorts/abc123
instagram.com/reel/Cxyzsavevidr.com/reel/Cxyz
tiktok.com/@user/video/123…savevidr.com/@user/video/123…
x.com/user/status/123…savevidr.com/user/status/123…
reddit.com/r/sub/comments/abcsavevidr.com/r/sub/comments/abc
pinterest.com/pin/123…savevidr.com/pin/123…
vimeo.com/123456savevidr.com/123456

Trick 2 — add savevidr.com/ in front of any link

This works for every supported site, not just the ones above. Put your cursor at the very start of the address bar and type savevidr.com/ before the link, for example savevidr.com/https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8abc.

Trick 3 — one-click bookmark

On a computer, drag the SaveVidr bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar. On any video page, click it once.

Trick 4 — share straight from the app

On Android, install SaveVidr to your home screen. It then appears in the Share menu of YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and other apps, so you can tap Share → SaveVidr.

Why use the shortcuts?

  • They skip the copy-and-paste step, which is the slowest part on a phone.
  • They work in any browser, with nothing to install.
  • You'll remember them: one word in the address bar.

Please only download videos you own or have permission to save.
