About Dzen Downloader

Dzen’s algorithm constantly refreshes your feed, and videos you love today might vanish tomorrow. Dzen Downloader lets you capture them before they’re gone. It detects video content on dzen.ru pages, from short clips to long-form documentaries, and saves them as MP4 files with original resolution and audio quality.

Your privacy is fully protected because all processing happens on your device. The extension uses your existing Yandex/Dzen session without storing or exporting credentials, and no video data touches external servers. You stay in control.

Downloaded files keep their Cyrillic filenames intact, making it easy to build a searchable offline library. The progress panel shows real-time speed, file size, and estimated time, and automatic retry logic recovers from network interruptions without data loss.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Dzen Downloader in real workflows.

No more losing great videos to the algorithm

Dzen's algorithm showed me an incredible documentary about the Baikal railway and I could not find it again the next day. Now I save anything worth rewatching immediately. Cyrillic filenames work cleanly on my Windows machine.

Reliable for saving long-form tech content

I use Dzen for tech reviews and save the detailed walkthroughs for reference. The extension handles both short clips and 40-minute videos without any issues. Processing is genuinely local — I checked.

Yandex Browser compatibility is a big plus

Works well with Yandex Browser which is what I use alongside Dzen daily. Downloads are fast and the automatic retry handled a Wi-Fi dropout without me needing to restart anything.
