About Hudl Downloader

Team buses and locker rooms rarely have reliable WiFi, but that shouldn't stop film review. Hudl Downloader lets you save game film, highlight reels, and individual clips directly from your Hudl account as MP4 files. Once downloaded, you can watch them anywhere, anytime, without an internet connection.

The extension works within your existing Hudl session—no separate login or credential storage. Just navigate to the video you want, click the Hudl Downloader icon, choose your preferred quality, and the file saves to your computer with a descriptive name. A progress panel shows real-time speed and time remaining.

Keep long-term backups of your athlete's footage independent of your Hudl account status. Import the MP4s into video editing software for custom highlight reels and recruiting packages. Prepare film breakdown presentations without depending on a live streaming connection.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

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

Every coach needs this

I prepare film breakdowns for my high school team every week. Having the game film as local MP4s means I can build presentations on the bus without fighting WiFi.

Made the recruiting reel easy

Built my daughter's recruiting highlight reel from downloaded Hudl clips. The files imported into Premiere without any issues and the quality was excellent.

Buffering-free film review

I study my own game film obsessively and hate buffering. Downloaded everything for the season and can review plays on my laptop at full speed anytime.
