About IGN Downloader
Every IGN video you care about can live on your device. The extension detects embedded players on article, review, and video pages, then lists available quality tiers with size estimates. You choose the resolution, and the MP4 transfers directly from IGN's servers.
Filenames combine the video title with article metadata, making your collection searchable. No more digging through IGN's site or hoping URLs still work. Your archive stays organized and accessible.
Real-time progress shows speed and completion. If a download interrupts, automatic retry picks it up without restarting. Keep your favorite gaming moments for good.

Perfect reference library for video essayists
I edit video essays about game design and IGN's deep-dive reviews are great reference material. Having local copies means I can scrub through footage without buffering or worrying about the link dying. Filename generation from the article title is a nice touch.

Trailer downloads came through clean
Downloaded a dozen trailers from E3 coverage for a presentation and every single one came through at 1080p. The quality picker made it easy to choose the right balance between resolution and file size.

Clean and focused tool
Simple extension that does one thing well. No bloat, no ads baked in, just a download button and a progress bar. The retry feature saved a large performance analysis video when my connection stuttered.

Features
Everything it does
Core capabilities included in IGN Downloader.
The extension is designed to detect video players on IGN articles, review pages, and video sections.
It is planned to read IGN's player data to show available quality options with file size estimates.
Videos will download as standard MP4 files compatible with common devices and editing tools.
Filenames will blend the video title with article metadata to aid later searching.
A real-time progress panel will track speed, transferred data, and estimated completion time.
Interrupted downloads are intended to resume automatically without restarting the transfer.
A right-click integration is planned for quick download access without opening the popup.
The design includes zero data collection, so no watch history or credentials are stored or transmitted.
Begin by going to an IGN page with an embedded video, such as a trailer or review.
Clicking the IGN Downloader icon will present quality choices along with estimated file sizes.
After picking a quality, the video will transfer from IGN's servers with live progress tracking.
The MP4 file, named after the video, will appear in the downloads folder and a notification will confirm readiness.
