VidMate for PC (Windows and Mac)
VidMate for PC is a handy way to save videos straight onto your laptop. The app is built for Android, so there's no setup file for Windows or Mac. Instead, you run it inside a free Android emulator, a program that copies a phone screen on your computer. See what the app offers on our VidMate homepage, or download VidMate first.
Before You Begin
Before Installing Vidmate Check that your computer has:
- Windows 10, Windows 11 or macOS
- 4 GB of RAM or more (8 GB gives smoother results)
- About 5 GB of free disk space for the emulator
- The APK file saved from our download page
Steps to Set It Up
- Get BlueStacks (or another emulator you trust) from the maker's own website and run the setup.
- Save the VidMate APK on your computer.
- Start BlueStacks. Its first launch can take a minute or two.
- Drop the APK file onto the BlueStacks screen with your mouse.
- A VidMate icon appears on the emulator's home screen after a few seconds.
- Click it, search for a video, and save it.
Moving files to your computer: downloads stay inside the emulator at first. Use the emulator's media or file-sharing tool to copy them into a normal Windows or Mac folder.
FAQs
Can I get a VidMate .exe for Windows?
There isn't one. A Windows installer carrying the VidMate name is something else and may contain malware.
Does BlueStacks cost money?
The main version is free to use.
Will it run on Windows 7?
Current emulators mostly need Windows 10 or later, so Windows 7 machines often struggle.
The app feels slow on my laptop. What helps?
Shut other programs, and raise the memory given to the emulator in its settings.
