Download Niconico Video Online
MediaPuller is an online Niconico video downloader for public videos, animations, Vocaloid works and short Niconico clips. Paste a direct Nicovideo watch URL, click Go, and open the adaptive video quality made available for that page.
Modern Niconico delivery separates video and audio inside a protected HLS session. MediaPuller keeps both tracks connected through the original master playlist and labels the result M3U8. It does not rename the stream MP4, re-encode the upload or store the media file on the server.
Download Public Niconico Videos Online
Niconico, also known as Nico Nico Douga or Nicovideo, is home to creator videos, music, animation, game footage, tutorials and quick clips with its distinctive scrolling-comment culture. The downloader reads one public watch page, displays its title, thumbnail and duration, and returns an adaptive stream up to the best resolution exposed by Niconico.
Use a direct nicovideo.jp/watch/... or nico.ms/... address. Search, ranking, user and playlist pages contain multiple videos and are not treated as a single download. Public pages normally require no Niconico login or browser extension.
How to Download a Niconico Video or Short Clip
Step 1. Open the exact public Niconico video or short clip you want to process.
Step 2. Copy the full watch URL from the address bar or Niconico's Share option.
Step 3. Paste the link into MediaPuller and click Go.
Step 4. Open the M3U8 result in an HLS-compatible browser or player to access the available video with audio.
Niconico Downloader for iPhone, Android and Desktop
The tool works in current mobile and desktop browsers without additional software. HLS support differs by browser: Safari can usually open M3U8 directly, while another browser may hand the link to a compatible media app. The temporary media session protects Niconico's audio and video tracks, so use the result soon after it is generated.
Why a Niconico Link May Not Return Video
A video may be deleted, private, region-restricted, paid, age-limited or available only to signed-in members. The submitted address may also point to a list instead of one watch page. MediaPuller processes normally accessible public content and does not bypass accounts, payment, DRM or access restrictions.
Save Niconico Content Responsibly
Process only videos you created, public-domain material or content you are authorized to save. Public viewing does not automatically grant permission to republish, edit or monetize another creator's work. Respect copyright, Niconico's terms and applicable law.
Niconico Video Downloader FAQ
Can I download short Niconico videos?
Yes. A short clip uses the same direct watch URL as a longer video and can be processed when it is public.
Why is the result M3U8 rather than MP4?
Niconico currently delivers many public videos as adaptive HLS with separate audio and video tracks. The master M3U8 keeps those tracks linked without falsely claiming a conversion.
Are scrolling Niconico comments included?
No. Comments are separate interactive page data and are not burned into the source video stream returned by this downloader.
Do I need a Niconico account?
No account is required for a public watch page that Niconico makes accessible normally.
Can MediaPuller unlock paid or private videos?
No. It does not bypass membership, payment, privacy, regional, age or DRM restrictions.
