What is Video Download Manager?
Video Download Manager is a Chromium browser extension for Chrome, Brave, and Edge. It detects authorized media requests from the active tab and turns technical MP4 or M3U8/HLS sources into readable download cards with available title, preview, source, quality, format, duration, and progress information.
This website is the official home of the Video Download Manager browser extension. The product runs inside supported Chromium browsers and is separate from similarly named desktop download or conversion software.

FAQ
Questions before you install Video Download Manager?
What is Video Download Manager?
Video Download Manager is a Chrome Web Store extension that detects permitted open MP4 and supported unencrypted HLS media on the active browser tab. It shows the current video with useful preview, source, quality, duration, and progress details when available.
Does Video Download Manager download every video on the web?
No. Video Download Manager is built for authorized open MP4 media and supported unencrypted HLS streams that are visible to the browser. It does not support YouTube downloads, DRM bypassing, paywall bypassing, or unauthorized access.
Can it detect social media videos?
It can detect permitted MP4 or HLS media on supported social and video pages when the page exposes a media request the browser can access. Detection depends on each platform, page state, and media delivery method.
Why does the extension focus on the current tab?
Current-tab matching helps reduce stale previews, background preloads, ads, and duplicate technical sources so the popup shows the video you are actually watching more clearly.
Can I choose a preferred video quality?
Yes. The extension can show quality labels when reliable signals are available, and preferred quality can fall back to Auto when the exact requested quality is not available.
What happens if no video is detected?
Start playback, refresh long-running pages, and confirm that the page is using an authorized open MP4 or supported unencrypted HLS source. Protected, encrypted, paywalled, YouTube, or restricted media will not be shown as downloadable.
