How will batch downloading work for entire course modules?

You will be able to queue multiple lecture pages for sequential processing, and the tool is planned to automatically retry any failed downloads so your library builds seamlessly in the background.

What video quality can I expect from downloads?

It intends to preserve the best resolution the source provides, which will typically be up to 1080p or 4K when available, depending on what the course publisher originally uploaded.

Will subtitles and captions be included with downloaded videos?

Yes, the extension is expected to extract subtitle and caption tracks in SRT format, allowing you to follow along during offline study even in noisy environments.

Which browsers will the edX Downloader support?

Compatibility is expected with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on desktop operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Will my edX login credentials be stored or shared?

No, your login details will stay on your device; the extension is being built so that no credentials are stored or transmitted to third parties.

Can I use the extension with the edX mobile app?

This is planned as a desktop browser extension only and will not work with the edX mobile app or on mobile browsers such as Safari.

How will the smart page scanner help me find media?

A smart scanner will inspect the lecture page and surface every media file available for saving, so you can choose exactly what to download.

Use edX Downloader only for videos you own or have permission to save. Respect the platform and creators, and do not redistribute downloaded videos without the necessary rights.

Useful for edX students who travel

I'm doing an MIT MicroMasters on edX and this tool saved me when I had a 12-hour flight with no WiFi. Downloaded all my lectures the night before and studied the entire trip.

Great for corporate edX training programs

Our corporate training team uses edX for professional certificates. Being able to download and archive course videos for internal reference has been a huge productivity boost.

Batch downloads make edX studying effortless

The batch queue feature is what sold me. I queue up an entire week of CS50 lectures and let it run overnight. Everything is neatly organized in folders by module.
