About Moodle Downloader

Campus WiFi can be unreliable, and course access often expires after the semester ends. Moodle Downloader lets you save every lecture and file resource to your local drive, so your study materials are always available. No internet? No problem.

Just add the extension to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, open your Moodle course, and click to download. It detects all downloadable content on the page—from built-in video players to YouTube and Vimeo embeds. You can even queue multiple sections for batch downloading.

Videos and documents save automatically, organized for offline access. Whether you're commuting, traveling, or just in a dead zone, your coursework is ready when you are. Keep your academic archive intact long after the course closes.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

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

Works cleanly with university Moodle installations

My university uses Moodle 4.x and the professors upload recorded lectures as video resources. This extension grabs them reliably and I can study on the bus without mobile data.

Great for medical training on Moodle

I am a nursing student and our clinical training videos are on our hospital's Moodle system. Being able to download and review procedures offline before shifts has been incredibly helpful.

Solved our corporate Moodle offline training problem

Our company runs Moodle for compliance training across 40 countries. I downloaded the entire compliance video library so field offices with poor internet can still complete their training.
