Now boarding: footage from your hometown.
Boarding pass
Check-in
Check-in’s open. One public VK video or clip per ticket.
- Public videos only
- MP4, no MP3
- Up to 1 hour
- 5 an hour, 10 a day
Works with any public VK video link: vk.com, vkvideo.ru, VK Clips and vk.cc short links. The video arrives as an MP4 for your iPhone, Android phone or PC, in HD if the upload was HD.
This is your captain speaking. I'm Vee, the paper plane, and I fly the family's longest route, out to VK and back, goggles on and scarf flapping out of the window. A public video or clip is all I need; a short vk.cc link is fine, I'll unfold it somewhere over the clouds. I land everything as an MP4. Sound-only trips don't run on this route.
Downloading VK Clips and vk.cc short links
Find your flight.
Yes to both, and to vkvideo.ru links as well. Every kind of VK link is on this board with what happens to it here, and the row that matches the link in your pass lights up.

Boarding
A video’s own address on VK, or one that opened over your feed (the address then ends in ?z=video…). Up to 1080p, depending on how it was uploaded, and always MP4.
vkvideo.ru
Boarding
The VK Video site and its app. Links copied from either work the same way.
VK Clips
Boarding
The short vertical ones. They keep their shape, so they still fill a phone screen.
vk.cc short links
Unfolded on board
VK’s own short links, the kind people drop into posts and chats. Our server opens the short link to find the full address, then fetches the video from there.

Open the video first
A wall, a profile or a playlist can hold dozens of videos, so there’s no single file to send. Open the one you want; its own address is the one that works.
Saved inside VK
Stays in VK
Adding a video to your own Videos list keeps it inside VK, and your gallery never sees it. The MP4 you get here is a plain file you can move anywhere.
Audio only · MP3
No MP3 on VK
VK links come as video only. Paste one and the Audio only choice leaves the box.
Private · friends only · closed communities
Not departing
VK shows these only to members and friends with access, and our server has no account to be let in with.
Removed
Not departing
A deleted video leaves nothing to fetch.
Longer than 1 hour
Not departing
The cut-off is 60 minutes. Anything longer is refused before it starts.
Your 6th in an hour
Delayed
That’s one past the limit of 5 downloads an hour (10 a day). Failed links and a repeat of the same link within 30 minutes are free, and the box shows a countdown to your next slot.
VK community and group videos
The only camera at the concert was somebody’s phone.
Your town probably has a public VK community, and that’s where the week ends up: the school concert filmed from the fourth row, or the local band’s one gig where the sound worked. Often that post is the only recording anyone made. Nobody pins it, so every new post pushes it further down the wall.
If the community is open, that video can come home with you.
Open it from the wall or the community’s Videos tab so it plays by itself, then copy the link and paste it into the pass at the top. Closed communities are members-only, and their videos stay put.
If you know who filmed it, say thanks, and name them when you pass it on. Their arm was up for the whole song.
Where VK videos land on iPhone, Android and PC
Same folder on every device. Almost.
In the VK or VK Video app, tap Share and then Copy link; on vk.com itself, the link is whatever the address bar shows. Once you press Download at the top, this is where the file turns up.
iPhone and iPad
Lands in Files › Downloads
The MP4 goes to the Files app, into the Downloads folder, and Photos never looks in there. That’s why a video can say “downloaded” and still be missing from your camera roll. Fix that from Files: open the video, press Share, choose Save Video.
Android
Lands in Downloads
Chrome drops the MP4 into Downloads. The gallery catches up a few seconds later, usually. If it doesn’t, Files by Google (My Files on a Samsung) has it under Downloads.
PC and Mac
Lands in Downloads folder
Same place as everything else your browser saves: the Downloads folder. No extra software needed, since Windows and macOS play MP4 as it comes.
Long video, slow connection? Keep the tab open until the file finishes. If the download breaks halfway, tap Save again within about 10 minutes, or paste the link again: the same link within 30 minutes doesn’t use up another download.
VK to MP4 without an app or an account
Plenty of seats left.
You pay nothing here, and there’s nothing to sign in to or install. It saves public VK videos and clips, up to 1 hour long, as MP4 files; there’s no MP3 for VK. Private, friends-only and closed-community videos can’t be saved. Each visitor has 5 downloads an hour and 10 a day, not counting failed links or the same link pasted again within 30 minutes. Videos travel through our server to reach you and aren’t stored there, and a save link is good for about 10 minutes. 9vids has no ties to VK.
