Download your first video

Copy a link, paste it into Lynx and pick a quality — the whole workflow in three steps.

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 notices the copied link and offers it at the top of Home. Lynx Notch can offer it too.

2. Paste it into Lynx

Click the big field at the top of Home and press ⌘V (or click Paste). You don’t need to press anything else — the link opens straight away as a card with the picture, title and every option.

3. Choose and download

  • Save as — Video or Audio only, and the format (MP4, MP3 …).
  • Quality — every quality the site has, each with its size.
  • Press Return or click Download.

The card closes and the download appears right below it, under In Progress. When it finishes it moves into your library — Videos, Music & Audio, Clips or Files.

Want only part of the video? Switch the card to Clip instead — see Download a clip.
