How will the download process work?

You would open a Reuters page with a video, click the extension icon, and it will parse the page to find available quality options. After selecting a resolution, the MP4 will be transferred directly from Reuters' servers.

What file format will downloads use?

Downloads are designed to be saved as standard MP4 files, which will ensure broad compatibility with most media players and devices for offline playback.

How will downloaded files be named?

Filenames will be generated from the article headline, making it easier to organize and search your offline archive of saved video reports.

Will it prevent downloading the same video twice?

Yes, duplicate detection is planned to check your existing downloads so you will not save the same report again, helping keep your archive tidy.

What happens if a download gets interrupted?

Automatic retry logic will be built in, so if a transfer is interrupted, it is expected to resume without losing progress already made.

What quality options will be available?

The extension will present the quality tiers that Reuters provides for each report, typically including resolutions like 480p, 720p, or 1080p with estimated file sizes.

Which browsers will the extension support?

It is being developed for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera on desktop platforms, with no plans for Safari or mobile browser support.

Will my downloads be private?

All download operations are intended to run locally on your computer with no external servers or data transmission, so your activity will remain private.

Use Reuters 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 Reuters Downloader

Research and reference demand stable access to video content. Reuters Downloader lets you save reports directly from reuters.com as standard MP4 files, named after the article headline for easy organization. This eliminates the risk of broken links or site restructures disrupting your workflow.

Your privacy is central to the process. All download operations run locally on your computer—no external servers, no URL redirects, and zero data transmission. You maintain full control over your research materials without exposing your activity to third parties.

Building an archive is efficient and reliable. The extension detects duplicate files to prevent re-downloading saved reports, and automatic retry logic resumes interrupted transfers without losing progress. Real-time progress tracking shows speed, size, and estimated completion time, so you can manage downloads with confidence.

Recent customer feedback

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

Invaluable for lecture preparation

I teach international relations and Reuters footage is a staple in my lectures. Saving reports locally means my class materials do not break when Reuters moves or removes content. The headline-based filenames make organizing by topic painless.

Solid research tool for journalists

As a freelance journalist I reference Reuters reports often. Having a local copy I can scrub through without buffering or worrying about broken links is a massive productivity boost.

Lightweight and dependable

Clean extension, no bloat, does what it promises. The duplicate detection caught a few reports I had already saved from earlier research sessions. Progress tracking is accurate.
