About FC2 Downloader
FC2 hosts countless videos and live streams that can rotate off the platform or expire without warning. With FC2 Downloader, you can preserve that content locally before it’s gone. The extension captures the original stream data directly from the player, delivering an MP4 at the same resolution and bitrate you see on the page.
No screen recording, no quality loss. Just select your preferred quality from the available tiers, and the extension handles the rest. Whether it’s a direct MP4 or an HLS adaptive stream, the downloader resolves the delivery method transparently and stitches segments on your device. Your browser stays responsive throughout, thanks to offscreen processing.
Your saved files are automatically named using the video’s title, keeping your library organized. Desktop notifications confirm each completion, so you can browse other tabs while live captures run in the background. Keep your FC2 activity private—all processing happens locally, with no external servers involved.

02
Click the extension and choose quality
The extension reads the player metadata and lists available resolution tiers. Select the quality you want and start the download or capture.
03
Wait for processing to complete
Direct MP4s download immediately. HLS streams are stitched locally in a background context. Live captures record until the broadcast ends or you stop manually.
Happy Users
Recent customer feedback
Short, practical feedback from people using FC2 Downloader in real workflows.
No more broken FC2 links
FC2 links break constantly. Having local MP4 copies means I can reference tutorial content months later without hunting for new URLs.

HLS handling is solid
The HLS stitching is smooth. I never have to deal with segment files or use FFmpeg manually. Everything comes out as a single clean MP4.

Background capture is a lifesaver
I capture FC2 live streams for archival. Background recording lets me keep working while broadcasts are saved automatically.

Features
Everything it does
Core capabilities included in FC2 Downloader.
This tool is planned to download FC2 videos as MP4 files with their original resolution and bitrate intact.
Live FC2 broadcasts will be captured in real time even when the extension runs in the background.
It is designed to handle direct MP4 links, HLS adaptive streams, and segmented delivery without extra clicks.
A quality panel will list the resolution tiers along with approximate file sizes for each option.
HLS chunks will be stitched together locally into a clean MP4, so no outside server is needed.
Your download library stays tidy because filenames are automatically created from each video's title.
A progress panel will show current speed, total file size, and how much time remains until completion.
The extension will use your active FC2 session for authentication while never storing your credentials.
An offscreen processing context ensures the browser remains responsive during segment assembly.
To begin, open an FC2 video or live stream page and let the player finish loading completely.
Then click the extension icon and pick your preferred quality from the list it reads from the player.
Finally, wait for the process: direct MP4s start right away, while HLS streams are stitched in the background.
