LinkedIn Downloader

Overview

You bookmark a LinkedIn post with a brilliant framework, a carousel that nails your industry problem, or a video from a conference keynote. Two days later you scroll back to find it and it is gone — reshuffled by the algorithm, deleted by the author, or lost in a sea of engagement bait. LinkedIn does not offer any native way to export posts, carousels, or videos to your device.

LinkedIn Downloader fixes that gap. Navigate to any public or connection-visible post on LinkedIn, click the extension icon, and save the content directly to your computer. Videos download as MP4 files at the highest available resolution. Image carousels and document posts save as individual files so you can reference them offline during meetings, presentations, or research sessions.

The extension reads LinkedIn's player and post metadata from the page you are viewing, identifies available media, and lists your download options with estimated file sizes. Everything runs locally in your browser using your active LinkedIn session — no credentials are stored, no data is sent to external servers, and no third-party APIs are involved.

Whether you are building a swipe file of competitor content, archiving keynote recordings for your team, or saving instructional carousels for offline study, LinkedIn Downloader gives you a permanent local copy. Start with 3 free downloads to see how it works, no credit card required.

FAQ

How do I download a LinkedIn video?

Open the LinkedIn post containing the video, click the LinkedIn Downloader icon in your browser toolbar, select your preferred quality, and the MP4 saves directly to your downloads folder.

Can I download carousel or document posts?

Yes. The extension detects multi-slide document posts and image carousels and saves each slide as a separate file.

Does it work with private or connection-only posts?

It works with any post visible in your current LinkedIn session. If you can see the post while logged in, the extension can save it.

Will LinkedIn know I downloaded something?

The extension reads page data locally in your browser. It does not interact with LinkedIn's API or send any notifications to post authors.

Which browsers are supported?

Builds are available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Safari and mobile browsers are not supported.

Can I batch-download an entire profile's posts?

No. Downloads are initiated one post at a time to keep requests reasonable and avoid triggering LinkedIn's automated abuse detection.

Is this legal?

DISCLAIMER: We are not attorneys and do not offer legal advice. Laws vary by country and platform. For any legal question please consult a qualified legal professional.

We give you full control over download speeds because we believe users should decide how they use their software.

That said, here are a few widely accepted best practices for safe, responsible downloading:

• Only download content you created, own, or have explicit permission from the rights holder to access.

• Protect your personal data by respecting platform rules and rate limits with reasonable download speeds to avoid automated abuse systems putting your account at risk.

• Protect your privacy by using a reputable VPN for IP protection before initiating downloads — this is the VPN we recommend & use.
