Where generic tools break down

Online XVideos download sites come with ads everywhere, transfers that die halfway and error messages that explain nothing. A common culprit is the 403 Forbidden response: the server refuses the request because the right headers aren't sent. XVideos Downloader applies those headers automatically, so the MP4 saves completely on the first attempt and you don't need any copy-and-paste tricks.

Domains

xvideos.com, xvideos.es and every other official XVideos mirror work out of the box. Update checks run regularly so detection keeps pace with changes to XVideos' CDN and player.

Using it

• Open a video on any supported XVideos domain.
• Start the download with the toolbar icon, or via the right-click menu on the video page.
• Choose from the quality list, which shows each available resolution together with an estimated file size.
• Follow the progress bar and its real-time speed; a desktop notification confirms when the file is saved.
• Find the result in an XVideos folder that the extension creates inside your browser's Downloads directory.

Downloads run one at a time so each file completes properly; start the next video when the current one is done. The MP4 you get is exactly what XVideos delivers, without re-encoding and without watermark removal.

Local processing

All the work happens on your device, with no analytics. Activation is validated once, and the extension never uploads your browsing or download history.

Supported setups

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave and Opera, on Windows, macOS and Linux computers. Supported regions: Worldwide.

Permissions explained

• downloads: saves XVideos files straight to your device. With it the extension starts a download, can stop one that is in progress, listens for changes in its state and progress, and locates the transfer so the popup can show where it stands.
• activeTab: reads the open tab to recognize an XVideos page and extract the video address. The popup checks the page this way before enabling its download controls, and the background process uses the same tab to coordinate the save.
• storage: retains activation state on your machine, meaning the activation flags, key and associated email, and restores it every time the popup loads so the unlocked functionality stays available.
• notifications: produces desktop alerts about successful downloads, errors and other status changes.
• contextMenus: puts a "Download XVideos Video" option in the browser's right-click menu on supported domains; choosing it begins the download.
• tabs: covers finding tabs, exchanging messages with them to drive a download, and creating helper tabs when needed.

FAQ

How does the extension avoid failed XVideos downloads?

It sends the correct request headers for you. Open the video on any XVideos domain, click the icon, pick a quality and the MP4 saves without a forbidden error.

Do mirrors like xvideos.es work as well as the main site?

They do. xvideos.com, xvideos.es and the other official mirrors are all handled with no extra configuration.

If I start a second XVideos save, does it run alongside the first?

No. Each download runs by itself so it finishes cleanly; launch the following video once the current one completes.

On which browsers and operating systems can I install the XVideos extension?

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave and Opera, on Windows, macOS and Linux desktop computers.

Is the XVideos file changed in any way, for example watermark removal?

No. You get the original MP4 exactly as XVideos serves it, with no re-encoding and no watermark removal.

Does my XVideos activity get sent anywhere?

No. Everything runs locally; apart from validating activation, nothing about your viewing or downloads leaves your machine.
