What details will I see before downloading?

The extension will display resolution, file size, and codec information for each detected MP4 file, so you can choose the version that fits your needs.

Will downloading change the original video quality?

No, it is planned to fetch files directly from the source URL without re-encoding, so the downloaded video will be identical to what the website hosts.

Can I download multiple videos at once?

Yes, you will be able to queue several detected videos for batch downloading, which is intended to save time on pages with multiple clips.

Where can I use this extension?

It is intended for news sites, blogs, corporate portals, forums, and learning platforms that host MP4 video files directly on their pages.

Will it work on streaming sites like YouTube?

Major streaming platforms use proprietary delivery systems, so the extension is not designed to detect or download videos from those services.

Is my privacy protected while using it?

Yes, video detection is planned to happen entirely in your browser, and no page URLs or usage data will be sent to external servers.

Will I need to manually look for video sources on a page?

No, the extension is designed to automatically find embedded MP4 files for you, so you will not have to search through page elements yourself.

Use MP4 Downloader only for videos you own or have permission to save. Respect the platform and creators, and do not redistribute downloaded videos without the necessary rights.

About MP4 Downloader

Browsing a news article, blog, or corporate page with a video you wish you could keep? MP4 Downloader makes it effortless. Just click the extension icon, and it scans the entire page for MP4 sources hidden in HTML5 tags, source elements, or even JavaScript-loaded players.

Within seconds, you'll see a list of every detected video, complete with resolution, file size, and codec details. Choose the one you want, and the file downloads straight from its original source. There's no re-encoding or quality loss—you get exactly what the website hosts.

It's perfect for grabbing training tutorials, news clips, or forum demos to watch later offline. Plus, you can queue multiple videos for batch downloading, saving you time when a page has several clips. MP4 Downloader works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Useful for saving news clips

As a journalist, I often need to save video clips from news sites for reference. This tool detects the embedded MP4s and downloads them at full quality without any conversion.
