An Imgur video downloader for saving public clips as MP4
SnapSave is a free Imgur Video Downloader that turns a public Imgur link into a clean MP4 you can keep. Paste the link to a public Imgur post into the box at the top of this page, press Download, and the clip saves to your device in HD at the quality it was posted. Nothing to install, no account to make, and no app to keep updated.
Imgur is a public image, GIF and video sharing community, the place people drop reaction GIFs, memes, gaming clips, science and educational animations, and DIY how-to videos. A public Imgur link usually looks like imgur.com/gallery/xxxxx, imgur.com/xxxxx, or i.imgur.com/xxxxx.mp4, and a quick paste here turns any of those into a file you can watch offline, on a flight, on the bus, or anywhere the signal drops. SnapSave is part of the wider SnapSave downloader family, so the same simple routine carries across the tools you already use.
This page is for video. If the link you want is a still image or a whole album, the companion Imgur Image Downloader is built for that. Either way, SnapSave works only with public, safe-for-work Imgur content, the everyday posts anyone can open without signing in. It does not access or process anything private, hidden, removed, or kept behind a login. SnapSave is not affiliated with Imgur, so please respect Imgur’s Terms and creators’ copyright, and save only content you own or have permission to use, for personal use.
How to download an Imgur video in three steps
From a public Imgur link to a saved MP4 in well under a minute, with no software to install and no sign-up to sit through.
Copy the public Imgur link
Open the post on Imgur. Use the share menu and choose Copy link, or copy the URL straight from your browser’s address bar, it usually looks like imgur.com/gallery/xxxxx, imgur.com/xxxxx, or i.imgur.com/xxxxx.mp4.
Paste it into SnapSave
Drop the URL into the box at the top of this page and press Download. SnapSave opens the public post, finds the video or GIFV inside it, and lists the qualities it can hand you.
Pick a quality and save
Choose the MP4 in the resolution you want, up to Full HD. The file saves straight to your phone or computer, ready to play offline right away.
What you can save from a public Imgur post
One box reads the link, works out what a public Imgur post holds, a native video, an animated GIF or GIFV, or a still image, and offers the right kind of download for it.
Videos as MP4
Save native videos from a public Imgur post as clean MP4 files in HD, up to Full HD. SnapSave hands back the clip as MP4 (H.264 / AAC) at the quality it was uploaded, with no watermark stamped on top.
GIFs and GIFV as MP4
Imgur auto-converts animated GIFs to MP4/GIFV, so what looks like a GIF on the page is usually an MP4 under the hood. SnapSave saves those as a clean MP4 file you can replay anywhere, with no heavy GIF to lug around.
Stills & albums
If the link is a still image or a whole album rather than a clip, the companion Imgur Image Downloader saves those as JPG or PNG, so you keep the full set in original quality.
We don’t log your links or keep your videos
A lot of downloaders quietly keep a record of every link pasted into them. SnapSave doesn’t work that way. There is no account to sign into, no list of what you have saved, and no copy of your file left sitting on a server afterwards.
When you paste a public Imgur link, SnapSave reads the post, pulls the video from Imgur’s own servers, and passes the finished MP4 to your device. The URL only lives long enough to prepare the download, then it is gone, no upload step, nothing parked on a disk, and no log with your name attached.
Supported Imgur formats and resolutions
What was posted is what comes back down, no needless re-encoding and no shrinking, just the original media handed to your device at the quality it was uploaded.
| Source on Imgur | What SnapSave gives you | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Imgur video post | MP4 (H.264 / AAC) | Up to source, HD / Full HD |
| Animated GIF / GIFV | MP4 (H.264 / AAC) | Original |
| Image / album | JPG or PNG | Original |
Get a clean Imgur download every time
Most downloads work on the first try. A few small habits sort out the handful that don’t.
Copy the post link, not the homepage
You want the link to the single post that holds the video, not the Imgur home feed. Use the share menu and choose Copy link, or copy the full URL, imgur.com/gallery/xxxxx, imgur.com/xxxxx, or i.imgur.com/xxxxx.mp4, from your browser’s address bar.
Make sure the post is public
SnapSave reads only public, safe-for-work Imgur links that anyone can open without signing in. If a post is private, hidden, removed, or sits behind a login, the tool can’t reach it, by design. Stick to public posts.
HD depends on the original upload
SnapSave always offers the sharpest version the post holds, up to Full HD, but it can’t go beyond what was uploaded. If the source clip is 720p, then 720p is the ceiling, no tool can add detail that was never there.
An Imgur GIF is usually an MP4
Imgur auto-converts animated GIFs to MP4/GIFV, so the moving image you saved comes back as a clean MP4 rather than a bulky GIF. That is by design, and the MP4 plays the same everywhere.
If a download stalls, refresh and retry
A dropped connection happens. Reload the page, paste the link again, and most stalled downloads finish on the second go. Nothing half-finished is kept, so a retry is always safe.
What makes SnapSave a better Imgur video downloader
One tool for the public videos, GIFs and stills on Imgur, at full quality, with no record of what you save and no login of any kind.
Clean MP4, ready to play
You get a standard MP4 that opens in any player and any editor, no odd container, no broken file. Just the video the way it was posted, saved straight to your device.
Full HD, original quality
SnapSave grabs the top resolution the post holds, up to Full HD, with no watermark, no resize and no re-encode. Just the clean MP4 (H.264 / AAC) the way Imgur stored it.
Videos, GIFs and GIFV
Save a video post as MP4, or let an animated GIF or GIFV come back as a clean MP4 too. The same box reads the link and offers what fits, and the image tool covers stills and albums.
Free, unlimited, no sign-up
No daily limit, no email, no locked features and no account. Save one clip or fifty, the Imgur downloader stays free, and it never logs in.
Works on every device
iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook, any modern browser, with no app and no extension to maintain.
Public-only, by design
SnapSave reads only public, safe-for-work Imgur links that anyone can already open. It is a simple saver for content that is out in the open, not a way around anyone’s settings.
How to download Imgur videos on any device
The routine is the same everywhere, copy, paste, download. Only the place the file lands changes.
iPhone & iPad iOS
On the public Imgur post, tap the share icon and Copy link, open SnapSave in Safari, paste, and download. The file saves to Files → Downloads. To move a clip into your camera roll, open it in Files, tap share, and choose Save Video.
Android Chrome
Tap the share icon and Copy link, open SnapSave in Chrome, paste, and tap download. The MP4 shows up in your Downloads notification and folder, and most gallery apps pick it up on their own.
Windows PC
Open the public post on the web, copy the Imgur URL from the address bar, paste it into SnapSave, and click download. The file lands in your default Downloads folder, usually C:UsersYourNameDownloads.
Mac macOS
Same as Windows, copy the URL, paste, download. The MP4 saves to ~/Downloads in HD, and SnapSave works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave and Arc.
Chromebook & Linux
Identical steps: open the public post, copy, paste, download. Files save to your Downloads folder and show up in the Files app on Chromebook or your file manager on Linux.

What SnapSave won’t do
A downloader should be a handy tool, not a way around someone’s rights. A few things stay off the table on purpose.
Open anything that isn’t public
SnapSave reads only public, safe-for-work Imgur links that already open for anyone. It is not for private, hidden, removed, or login-gated posts, or anything that needs you to sign into an account, and it never logs in.
Bulk-rip whole accounts
Each download is one paste of one public post. SnapSave isn’t an account scraper and won’t be bent into one.
Hold on to your downloads
The finished file travels from Imgur to your device. Nothing stays with us, so there is nothing to “delete later”, it was never kept.
Ask for your Imgur password
SnapSave never needs your login or your account, and it never signs in. If an Imgur downloader wants you to log in, close the tab.
Add tracking or a watermark
The MP4 you save is the original media as Imgur stored it, nothing added, nothing altered, and certainly no SnapSave stamp.
Help you reuse content you don’t own
Saving someone else’s video or album to republish or sell, without permission, isn’t what this is for. Keep it to your own posts, public-domain content, or media you’re allowed to save, and respect Imgur’s Terms and copyright.
Imgur Video Downloader, frequently asked questions
Is SnapSave free to use?
Yes. SnapSave is a free Imgur Video Downloader with unlimited downloads, no signup, no email, no premium tier and no daily cap. A few light ads keep the service going.
Do I need an account or to sign in?
No. SnapSave runs in your web browser, so there is no app, no extension and no software to install. It never asks for an Imgur login and never signs in to an account to fetch a public post.
What quality and format do I get?
SnapSave offers the highest resolution the post holds, up to Full HD, and saves it as a standard MP4 (H.264 / AAC), so the download plays just like the original on any device.
Can I save images and albums too?
Yes, with the companion tool. This page handles video posts as MP4. For a still image or a whole album, use the dedicated Imgur Image Downloader, which saves them as JPG or PNG.
Does it work with private or login-gated posts?
No. SnapSave works only with public, safe-for-work Imgur content, the everyday links anyone can open without signing in. Private, hidden, removed, or login-gated posts are not supported, SnapSave does not access or process them, and the tool never logs in.
I see a GIF on Imgur, do I get a GIF or an MP4?
An MP4. Imgur auto-converts animated GIFs to MP4/GIFV, so the moving image is usually backed by an MP4 already. SnapSave saves it as a clean MP4 file rather than a heavy GIF.
Is it legal, and what’s allowed?
It depends on the post. Saving content you created, clips in the public domain, or videos you have the owner’s permission to download is generally fine. Downloading or re-sharing someone else’s copyrighted video without permission is not, and SnapSave isn’t meant for that. You are responsible for respecting copyright, the creator’s rights, and Imgur’s Terms.
