How to download
-
Open the clip on yandex.ru/video and copy the address from the browser bar. You need a /video/preview/… link with the clip number.
-
Paste it into the field on this page and click Check — the service shows the available qualities.
-
Pick a quality and click Download. The MP4 file is saved to your device.
Both yandex.ru/video/preview/… and yandex.ru/video/preview/?filmId=… work. Quality depends on the source: if the clip is 1080p on YouTube, you get 1080p. Files stay for 30 minutes.
Details: format, quality and methods
How it works
Yandex Video does not host the clips: it is an aggregator that collects videos from YouTube, VK, Rutube, Odnoklassniki and Dzen. The service reads the clip page, finds the original source and downloads from there — so quality matches the source platform.
Links that work
You need the page of a specific clip: yandex.ru/video/preview/NUMBER or yandex.ru/video/preview/?filmId=NUMBER. A search results link will not work — it holds no single video.
When a clip will not download
If the video was uploaded to Yandex directly it has no external source, and the Yandex player does not expose direct links. Such clips cannot be downloaded — pick another one.
On phone and desktop
Open the clip and copy the address from the browser bar; in the app tap Share → Copy link. Files stay on the server for 30 minutes.
