Download your first video with Lynx
Copy a link, paste it into Lynx, choose a format and quality, and download. The basic Lynx workflow in three steps, with keyboard shortcuts.
1. Copy a link
Copy the address of the video, song or file you want, from the address bar or from the site’s Share › Copy link.
If Lynx is open, it detects the copied link and offers it at the top of Home. Lynx Notch can offer it too.
2. Paste it into Lynx
Click the large field at the top of Home and press ⌘V (or click Paste). The link opens right away as a card with the picture, the title and all options.
3. Choose and download
- Save as: Video or Audio only, and the format (MP4, MP3 and others).
- Quality: every quality the site offers, each with its file size.
- Press Return or click Download.
The card closes and the download appears below it, under In Progress. When it finishes, it moves to your library: Videos, Music & Audio, Clips or Files.
To save only part of the video, switch the card to Clip. See Download a clip.
