About Hulu Downloader
Your Hulu subscription shouldn't be chained to a Wi-Fi signal. With Hulu Downloader, you can grab up to 1080p MP4 copies of your favorite content and take them wherever you go. No more buffering on spotty connections or burning through mobile data.
Batch download entire seasons while you sleep. The automatic season and episode numbering keeps everything organized, and duplicate detection ensures you never waste time re-downloading episodes already in your library. It's your personal Hulu vault, built automatically.
Play the files on any device, in any media player, with full subtitle and audio track support. Watch truly offline, ad-free, with no expiration dates. Your content stays yours, processed entirely on your own machine for complete privacy.

Happy Users
Recent customer feedback
Short, practical feedback from people using Hulu Downloader in real workflows.
Ad detection makes downloads from Hulu much cleaner
I have the ad-supported Hulu plan and the commercial detection is a godsend. Downloaded files come out clean without the ad breaks. Batch downloaded two season batches overnight with perfect episode naming.

Better than Hulu's built-in download for travel
I use this to save Hulu shows for long-haul flights. The quality is excellent and the files play on every device I've tried. Much better than Hulu's own limited download feature.

Embedded subtitles work great for multilingual households
The subtitle embedding is exactly what I needed. I download shows with Spanish subtitles for my parents and the tracks are embedded right in the MP4. Plays cleanly in VLC.
