The social network "Vkontakte" has become one of the main platforms in the Russian segment of the Internet, on which various videos (films or just cool fragments) are posted. The functionality of the site allows you to easily download videos, but the site administration did not provide an opportunity to download a video.
To download a video from "VK" to your computer, you can use special programs or extensions for the browser. Not the easiest way, but when using the programs, a rich functionality opens up before the user: you can select the desired format and adjust the quality, and so on.
Programs and extensions for download
One of the most popular and easy-to-learn programs is Vkmusic. Initially, this software was intended for downloading music files, but after several updates they added the ability to download videos. In order to download a video using Vkmusic, you need to launch the program and insert a link to the desired video. Next, select the desired format and location where the file will be downloaded. After the download is complete, open the folder with the file and enjoy.
You can also use the convenient VK Downloader extension. You can download it from the official website. After downloading, we find the extension in the browser settings and connect it. If everything is done correctly, then among the available functions on the VKontakte site itself, it will be possible to download videos without additional sites and programs. The only drawback is that you cannot choose the format; you will have to use converters to change it.
Also worth noting is another browser extension - MusicSig. If the format and quality of the video is important to you, then it is better to use it. Before proceeding with the download, this extension provides the ability to select the quality of the downloaded file.
Other download methods
If you have neither the time nor the desire to bother with programs and extensions, you can use online services. These also exist, but they require a good internet connection to work.
The VK Downloader service has the simplest interface, and it will not be difficult to download videos with its help. All you need is to go to the site and copy the link of the desired video, and then choose from two options: simple quality or high. The service will do the rest itself.
The Savefrom service works on the same principle: copy, paste a link to the site and download. In contrast to the "VK-downloader" provides the ability to select the format of the downloaded file.
And finally, the simplest way to download a video. No programs, extensions or sites are required for it. You just need to switch to the mobile version of VKontakte. To do this, you need to add the Latin M in the address bar to get - m.vk.com. Next, you will need to right-click on the video and select "save as …" in the context menu.
