How does the extension find the best video quality?

It is being built to extract the highest bitrate source stream TMZ provides for each clip. This aims to preserve sharp visuals without any re-encoding or quality loss during the download.

What file format will my downloads be in?

All videos are expected to save as standard MP4 files. This format will be playable on any device or media player without needing special software.

How are downloaded files named?

Filenames will be auto-generated from the TMZ article slug. This is intended to keep your library neatly ordered and make it easy to find specific clips later.

Can I monitor the download progress?

A real-time progress panel is planned, showing download speed, current file size, and estimated time remaining. This will give you full visibility during the save process.

What happens if my internet connection drops mid-download?

Built-in retry logic is being developed to resume interrupted downloads from where they stopped. You will not need to start over if a transfer drops.

Is there a quick way to start a download?

Context menu integration will let you right-click any TMZ video for quick saving. This aims to streamline the process and reduce extra clicks.

What data does the extension collect about my browsing?

The extension is designed to store only your license key and local preferences. It will not collect browsing or watch history, keeping your activity private.

How do I begin using TMZ Downloader?

You will open a TMZ article or video page, click the extension icon, select your resolution, and the video will stream directly to your machine with live progress tracking.

Use TMZ 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.

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

Lifesaver for pop culture commentary

I run a pop culture commentary channel and TMZ clips get pulled constantly. This lets me grab the source video while the story is still fresh. The auto-naming from article titles saves me a lot of renaming work.

No-nonsense download experience

Straightforward tool. Click, pick quality, wait for the progress bar. No weird redirects or popup ads. Does exactly what it says and nothing more.

Retry logic actually works

The retry feature saved me when my Wi-Fi dropped mid-download. Instead of starting over it picked up right where it left off. Small detail but it matters with larger clips.
