Free, privacy-first media downloader for Chrome
Web VideoDownloader (WVD) is a free Chrome extension that automatically detects video and audio files playing on web pages and lets you download them with a single click. All processing happens entirely in your browser — no data is ever sent to external servers.
When you browse the web, WVD quietly monitors network responses using the Chrome webRequest API. When it detects a media file being loaded (by reading HTTP headers like Content-Type and Content-Disposition), it adds it to your download list. This monitoring is completely read-only — the extension never modifies, blocks, or redirects any network traffic.
Simply click the extension icon in your toolbar to see all detected media files for the current page. From there you can preview videos inline or download them instantly. For a detailed walkthrough, see our User Guide.
WVD supports all major video and audio formats:
Automatically finds videos and audio on any web page as they load.
Preview videos directly in the extension popup before downloading.
Download HLS/M3U8 adaptive streams with quality selection.
Full interface localization in 37 languages worldwide.
Real-time download progress with speed indicator.
No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Your data stays on your device.
We believe your browsing data belongs to you. WVD is designed with privacy as a core principle:
