Netflix Downloader

Overview

You paid for Netflix, you found a show you love, and then Netflix pulls it from the catalog. Or you downloaded episodes in the app only to watch them expire after 48 hours. Streaming-only content means you never truly own anything. This browser extension changes that by saving Netflix movies, series, and documentaries as permanent MP4 files on your computer.

Open Netflix in your browser, pick any title, choose your quality up to 1080p, and hit download. The extension saves the video with all available audio languages and subtitles baked right into the file. Need to grab an entire season? Queue it up and the extension works through every episode automatically, naming each file by series, season, and episode number.

Everything happens locally in your browser. No uploads, no third-party servers, no one tracking what you save. Your files play in VLC, Plex, or any media player on any device, and they never expire. Try 3 free downloads to see how it works, no credit card required.

Reviews

• Solves the region-switching problem for international travelers (5/5): I travel internationally and Netflix content varies by country. I download shows before my trips and watch them offline regardless of which country I'm in. No more 'this title is not available in your region' messages. - Rachel Donovan
• Permanent downloads without Netflix's arbitrary expiration dates (4.9/5): Netflix's app downloads expire after 48 hours of offline playback. These MP4 downloads are permanent. I batch-downloaded three seasons overnight with perfect episode naming and subtitles embedded. - Lucas Bergman
• Multilingual audio tracks work perfectly for my family (4.8/5): The multilingual audio embedding is outstanding. I download movies with both English and Hindi audio tracks embedded, and my family can switch between them in VLC. Plays beautifully on our home media server. - Nalini Kapoor

FAQ

How is this different from Netflix's built-in download feature?

Netflix's official downloads only work in the mobile app, expire after a set period, and are limited to certain devices. This downloader saves content as permanent MP4 files that play in any media player on any device. There are no expiration dates or device restrictions.

Can I download entire Netflix series seasons at once?

Yes. Navigate to a series page, queue individual episodes or entire seasons, and the extension processes them sequentially. Each file is automatically named with the series title, season number, and episode number.

What quality can I download from Netflix?

The extension captures streams at the quality Netflix delivers to your browser, which goes up to 1080p depending on your subscription plan and browser. The 4K tier that Netflix offers is typically limited to their app and specific hardware.

Are multiple audio languages available in the download?

Yes. If a title on Netflix offers audio in multiple languages, the downloader embeds available tracks in the MP4. You can switch between them in media players like VLC, MPV, Infuse, or Plex.

Will my Netflix account be at risk?

The extension uses your existing browser session, the same way the Netflix web player does. We strongly recommend using reasonable download speeds and a reputable VPN for privacy. The extension never shares credentials or session data with external servers.

Is this legal?

DISCLAIMER: We are not attorneys and do not offer legal advice. Laws vary by country and platform. For any legal question please consult a qualified legal professional.

We give you full control over download speeds because we believe users should decide how they use their software.

That said, here are a few widely accepted best practices for safe, responsible downloading:

• Only download content you created, own, or have explicit permission from the rights holder to access.

• Protect your personal data by respecting platform rules and rate limits with reasonable download speeds to avoid automated abuse systems putting your account at risk.

• Protect your privacy by using a reputable VPN for IP protection before initiating downloads — this is the VPN we recommend & use.
