Add a download button in contact. Download music and video online from VKontakte
The social network's policy regarding music content is becoming increasingly strict. Thus, on December 19, 2016, access to the public API of the social network was blocked, which made it impossible to listen to and download music for most third-party applications. VKontakte developers have also learned to block almost all extensions that previously made it easy to download music. Therefore, you will have to take a workaround.

We hope that these detailed instructions will help you save all your musical treasures before the owners of VKontakte completely close access to them.
The social network VKontakte is an inexhaustible reservoir of music. Even rare musical compositions are stored here, which cannot be found on the global network “during the day.” But here’s the problem: you can listen to them, but you can’t download them to your computer. Although... what am I talking about? It’s impossible - because the site does not give users such an opportunity, but this is for others, not for you and me.
Do you want to know how to download any song from VK with just a couple of mouse clicks? Then read!
Seven ways to download music from VK for free
Web services
Let's start with something simple. To download audio tracks from the VK website, there are special web services that do not require registration or payment for their services: go in and use it. There are many such services, and they work on a similar principle. Let's look at a couple of the most popular ones.
Audio-vk
How to download music from VK using Audio-vk.ru? Take a look and you will immediately understand. At the top of the central field there is a search bar. Enter the title of the song or the name of the artist (author) - and the track will be found. To save, click “Download”.
Download-Music-VKontakte
– a slightly more “complex” service than the previous one. In addition to searching by title or artist, there are filters (drop-down lists circled in the screenshot):
- “I” – download music from your page.
- “Friends” – download music from friends’ pages.
- “Groups” – the same, from groups.
- “Popular” – the most popular songs on the VK website.
The second list allows you to clarify what you did. For example, when you select “Me”, you can specify where exactly to download tracks from - from audio recordings, albums (when you select this option, a list of your albums will appear), from the wall, or recommended. I hope you can figure out how to use filters without difficulty.
If when you open Download-music-vkontakte.ru you do not see lists of tracks, allow access to audio files of your VK page by clicking the link of the same name.
Browser apps and plugins
The plugin is installed on your computer like any application. What is he doing? Adds a download button to each audio file on VK. The button looks like a downward arrow and appears when you hover over a track. The size and bitrate of the file are displayed next to it.
In addition, SaveFrom.net adds its own extension to the browser. It is convenient to use for downloading all the music files that are on the page.
To download all songs from a playlist, click on the extension icon. Select “Download Audio Files”.
In the next window, click “Continue”. The tracks will start loading one by one.
The plugin works much the same as SaveFrom.net. After installation on your computer and restarting the browser, a button with a down arrow will appear next to the Play button next to each music track on VK. Clicking on it starts the file download process.
Additionally, a “Save” button appears below the audio player.
is an application for downloading audio tracks from the VKontakte website and more. It works regardless of the web browser; you just need to log in to VK in the program itself.
Through the “VKontakte” menu, you can select lists of songs that you want to upload to VKMusic - from your account, the accounts of friends or groups, popular or recommended. You can download several tracks at the same time by clicking on each song in the list and clicking “Add to downloads”. The program also allows you to listen to music through the built-in player, and also create playlists.
Downloading music from the VK website without programs
You can download music from VK with your bare hands. How? Advanced users have probably already guessed it. And for those who do not understand, I will share two simple ways.
Download via direct link
Each audio file has its own unique address on the Internet, from where the player downloads it during playback. We are not shown where the song is stored, but this information is in the page code. We'll take it from there. So…
- Right-click on the desired audio track. Select “View element code”. Or select the track and press Ctrl+Shift+C.
- Inside one of the tags
The “Play” button will be highlighted.
- Paste the link into the address bar of the browser and press “Enter”: a page with an audio player will open. Right-click on it and select “Save video as”. Alternatively, press Ctrl+S.
All you have to do is specify the folder to save - and the composition is “in your pocket”.
Searching for an audio file in the browser cache
When listening to music on the Internet, the browser downloads each song into one of its temporary folders (cache). This means that the necessary files are already on your hard drive, all you have to do is find them!
- The Opera browser stores this data in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache folder;
- Google Chrome - in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache;
- Mozilla Firefox - in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ProfileName\Cache.
If we look into the cache of any browser, we will see that files are saved there under strange names without extensions. How to find the one you need:
- While playing a song on the VKontakte page, sort the files in the cache by date of modification. Now everything that was launched recently will be at the top.
- Let's look at the file sizes. Musical ones weigh no less than 2.5 mb. An object weighing 8,257 kb is located at the top of my list. I have no doubt that this is the song that is playing right now. Select it with the mouse cursor and press F2 - a field for renaming will appear. Add the extension “mp3” to it.
- After adding the extension, the file now has a music player icon (in my example, AIMP). Click on it to listen.
- Did you guess it? Great! All that remains is to give the composition the correct name and move it to a more suitable place.
Let me remind you once again that all the considered methods of saving music from the VK website are absolutely free. And, as you noticed, they are very simple. Use it and enjoy!

Probably, in the modern age, every person loves to listen to music. But it often happens that the songs you need are difficult to find on the global network and are freely available for downloading. All young people live in the musical field of the Vkontakte website. However, not everyone knows how to download their favorite song to their computer from this site. Many social network users are puzzled by this question. In fact, downloading VKontakte audio recordings is very simple.
The easiest way is to look for a music download program on the Internet. There are a lot of them, but it becomes absolutely unclear which one to choose?
One of the most common utilities is VKMusic. It is easy to learn and has many features.

Such a program has many names, for example, “plugin”, “addon” - but their essence is the same. Depending on the user’s needs, you can install extensions of different categories - translators, checking mail, blocking site ads, downloading files, etc. There are also plugins for downloading music hits. For example, the SaveFrom.net extension is considered well-known. It is universal for any browser and for different sites. It becomes possible to download videos, albums with photographs and, of course, audio recordings specifically from Vkontakte. When you open your browser, you will be able to see a green arrow icon in the top right corner.

After which the song will be downloaded to your computer.
