Finds what right-click can't

Features
Built to do one job brilliantly
Find it, choose it, save it. Vidow handles the fiddly parts so you never have to dig through developer tools again.
Original quality, untouched
No re-encoding, no watermark, no compression. You get exactly what the site delivered.
Your resolution, your format
Pick from every rendition the site offers — 4K, 1080p, 720p — or keep just the audio track.
Batch the whole page
Queue every clip on a page at once and let Vidow work through the list in the background.
Fast and resumable
Segments download in parallel and join on your machine. If your connection drops, Vidow picks up where it left off.
Private by design
Detection, downloading and merging all run inside your browser. We never see the pages you visit or the files you save.
How it works
From page to file in three steps
No desktop app, no pasting links into strange websites, no account to create.
Install it from the Chrome Web Store and pin the icon to your toolbar. It takes about ten seconds.
Press play, or just let the page load. A badge on the Vidow icon shows how many videos it found.
Open the popup, choose a resolution and click Save. The file goes into your downloads folder.

Use cases
For the videos you actually need to keep

Why Vidow
Skip the sketchy converter sites
Converter sites ask you to hand your video to a stranger, then fill the screen with ads. Vidow does neither.
Online converter sites
- Your file is uploaded to someone else's server
- Ads, pop-ups and redirect chains
- Caps on file size and length
- Can't reach pages behind a login
- Re-encoded, with quality lost
Vidow
- Everything stays on your computer
- No ads and no redirects, ever
- No size or length limits
- Works on any page you can already view
- The original stream, untouched

FAQ
Questions before you install?
Here are the ones we hear most. The full FAQ covers the rest.
What exactly is Vidow?
Vidow is a browser extension that finds the video streams behind the page you're viewing and saves them to your computer. It works on the page you already have open, so there's nothing to paste, upload or convert.
Which browsers does it work with?
Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. Firefox and Safari aren't supported yet.
Which formats can Vidow download?
Direct files such as MP4 and WebM, adaptive streams such as HLS/m3u8 playlists and MPEG-DASH manifests, and video served through blob URLs or embedded players. As a rule of thumb, if it plays in your browser, Vidow can usually save it.
Can it handle HLS and m3u8 streams?
Yes. Vidow reads the playlist, downloads the segments in parallel and joins them into a single playable file on your computer. Nothing is sent to an outside server for merging.
Where do I actually pay?
Inside the extension, not on this website. Open the Vidow popup and choose Upgrade to go through a secure checkout.
Do you collect my browsing history?
No. Vidow only looks at a tab when you ask it to, and it never sends your browsing activity anywhere. Our privacy policy explains exactly what the extension stores on your computer.
