When you download a video on Android through Chrome, it saves to the Downloads folder by default — not the Gallery. Many users prefer videos to appear in their camera roll alongside their photos. Vid1080 works in any Android browser, and with the right steps, your downloaded videos can go straight to your gallery.

- 2Navigate to Downloads

- 4Tap Move or Copy
- 5Navigate to the DCIM folder (your Camera Roll) or Pictures folder

TIP: On Samsung Galaxy phones, the "My Files" app has a dedicated Downloads section. Open My Files → Downloads → long-press the video → Move → DCIM/Camera to add it to your camera roll.
Automatic Gallery Saving on Android
Some Android browsers handle downloads differently. The Samsung Internet browser (pre-installed on Galaxy phones) often saves videos directly to the gallery-accessible location. Try downloading the same video in Samsung Internet vs Chrome and compare where each one saves the file. If Samsung Internet saves to a gallery-accessible path, use it as your default browser for video downloads.
