All about the LinkedIn video downloader
What is a LinkedIn video downloader?
A LinkedIn video downloader resolves a post URL to the MP4 behind it. LinkedIn is the strictest of the major networks here: there is no download button on any post including your own, no bulk export of your content, and no media archive in your settings. Whatever you uploaded exists on the post and nowhere you can reach it. That makes this less of a convenience than it is on other platforms and more of a genuine recovery tool.
How to download a LinkedIn video
Getting the right kind of link is the only step people get wrong.
- Click the three dots at the top of the post and choose Copy link to post. Do not copy the URL from your address bar while scrolling the feed, since that often points at the feed rather than the post.
- Check the link contains an activity or ugcPost identifier. That is the part that identifies the specific post.
- Paste it into the field on this page and let the tool resolve it.
- Save the MP4 and store it properly. This is usually a recovery job, so putting the file straight back into a folder you actually back up is the point.
- If it fails, open the link in a logged out window. LinkedIn gates a lot of content behind a sign in wall, and anything it hides there is out of reach.
Things worth knowing about LinkedIn video
LinkedIn behaves differently enough from the other networks to be worth spelling out.
- Only native uploads work. A post that embeds YouTube or Vimeo is a link preview, not a LinkedIn video, so download it from the original platform instead.
- Company page video and personal profile video both work, as long as the post is publicly visible.
- LinkedIn frequently shows a sign in wall to logged out visitors. If your own post triggers it, the downloader will not be able to reach the file either.
- Save your video ads and case study clips before a campaign ends, because there is no export once the post is deleted.
- Document posts and carousels are PDFs rather than video, so they are a different kind of file entirely and this tool will not fetch them.
Who uses this tool
The use cases here are almost entirely professional rather than casual.
- Marketers archiving campaign creative before a quarter closes or an agency contract ends.
- People who posted a conference talk or a product demo and no longer have the source file after a laptop change.
- Agencies handing an account back to a client and needing to supply the assets that were published on it.
- Anyone repurposing a LinkedIn video into a Reel or a Short, where the file is needed rather than a link.
- Job seekers keeping a copy of a video introduction or portfolio piece they published years ago.

Checked in September 2026. LinkedIn adjusts how aggressively it gates content from logged out visitors, so success on a given post can change over time.
When this is not the right tool
If the post embeds a YouTube or Vimeo video rather than a native upload, there is no LinkedIn file to fetch and you should go to the original platform. Anything behind LinkedIn’s sign in wall is equally out of reach, including most content in private groups. It also cannot retrieve a post that has already been deleted, so this only helps while the post is still up. If you want to stop needing recovery in the first place, scheduling through the publishing tools keeps your own copy of every asset you post. For video elsewhere, use the Facebook video downloader or the TikTok video downloader.
How teams picture using RepeatPost
“Honestly, the calendar is what sold me. I could see every channel in one view and spot the week we'd gone quiet. Before this I was juggling three spreadsheets and a Slack thread. Now I plan the month on a Monday morning and I'm done by half ten.”
Hannah Whitfield
Marketing Manager
United KingdomJun 14, 2026“We run social for eleven clients and keeping them separate used to be a genuine anxiety of mine. Workspaces fixed that. Each client sits in their own space, approvals route to the right person, and I've stopped worrying that someone's going to push a dental practice promo to a restaurant account at 6am.”
Marcus Reed
Agency Owner
United StatesJun 29, 2026“I batch a fortnight of content on a Sunday arvo and then I don't think about it again. Reckon it's saved me a solid day a week. Only gripe is the mobile app still feels a step behind the web version, so I do the actual planning on my laptop. Everything else is spot on.”
Chloe Baxter
Content Creator
AustraliaJul 11, 2026“I'm handling social for four small brands and writing captions was eating my whole morning. The AI drafts are actually quite usable now. I still rewrite maybe every third one to sound like the client, but starting from something beats staring at a blank box. The hashtag tool alone I'm using daily.”
Ananya Raghavan
Freelance Social Media Manager
IndiaJul 30, 2026“I sell fabrics and my customers find me on Instagram mostly. Posting used to be whenever I remembered, which was maybe twice a week. Now I sit down every Sunday evening, load up two weeks, and it goes out on its own. Sales have followed. I'd like to see WhatsApp added properly, that's my one ask.”
Chidinma Eze
Small Business Owner
NigeriaAug 18, 2026“Our team is five people and we were losing posts in Slack threads. Someone would approve something, someone else would tweak it, and nobody knew which version went live. The approval flow sorted that in a week. Fair play, it's the least glamorous feature on the site and it's the one I'd miss most.”

Frequently Asked
Questions
No. LinkedIn provides no download button on any post, including your own, and no media export in your settings. Once you upload a video there, the copy on the post is the only one LinkedIn keeps for you, which is why an external tool is needed.
Use the three dot menu on the post and choose Copy link to post. That URL contains the activity identifier the downloader needs. Copying from the address bar while scrolling the feed often captures the feed rather than the specific post.
Because it is not a LinkedIn video. A post sharing a YouTube or Vimeo link renders a preview card, and the file lives on the original platform. Download it from there instead, where you have the proper source.
No. The tool has no signed in session, so anything LinkedIn hides behind its sign in wall is unreachable. If opening the link in a logged out browser window shows a prompt rather than the video, the downloader will hit the same wall.
No. LinkedIn document posts are PDFs rather than video, so they are a different file type and this tool does not handle them. You can usually view and save those directly from the post in a desktop browser.
No. Once the post is gone, LinkedIn stops serving the file and there is nothing left to fetch. That is exactly why it is worth downloading your own video while the post is still live rather than after you need it.
Saving your own uploads is uncontroversial and is the main use here. Downloading someone else’s public video for private reference sits in the usual grey area, and republishing it, especially in a commercial context, requires their permission.
