What VK Clips Are

Clips are short-form vertical videos hosted inside VK, shot and watched in portrait orientation at a 9:16 aspect ratio. They sit in their own feed with their own player, which is why their links look different from a standard VK video's.

The distinction is presentational. A clip is stored, transcoded and served by VK the same way a regular upload is, so anything that can download a VK video can download a VK Clip.

How a VK Clip Link Differs

A standard VK video link contains the segment /video-, as in vk.com/video-227034863_456239527. A clip link contains /clip- instead, as in vk.com/clip-227034863_456239527.

Everything after that prefix is identical: an owner id, an underscore, and a video id. Because the downloader reads that pair rather than the prefix, you can paste either shape and get the same result — no editing the URL by hand.

How to Download a VK Clip

1. Open the clip in the VK app or on the web.
2. Tap Share, then Copy link. On desktop, copy the address from the address bar.
3. Paste the link into the VK Video Downloader and press Download.
4. Choose a resolution and press Download. The MP4 saves in the clip's original vertical orientation.

Resolution and Aspect Ratio of VK Clips

Clips are vertical, so their resolution labels describe the shorter dimension differently from landscape video. A clip listed at 720p is roughly 720 pixels wide and 1280 tall, not the other way round.

Because clips are shot on phones, the source rarely exceeds 1080p, and the ladder you see usually tops out there. The saved MP4 keeps the original 9:16 frame — nothing is cropped, letterboxed or rotated, so it plays full-screen on a phone exactly as it did in VK.
