M3U8 Video Downloader
M3U8 Video Downloader is a free online tool for downloading M3U8 streams. Paste an .m3u8 playlist URL and it parses the video segments, downloads them concurrently with multiple threads, and merges everything into a single TS video file. Progress is shown as a live grid of segment blocks, and failed segments can be retried individually.
The tool is free and requires no registration. Segments blocked by cross-origin policies are fetched through a server-side proxy, while merging and saving happen locally in your browser. It is handy for saving online course videos or stream replays — only download content you are legally allowed to keep.
How to Use
- Copy the .m3u8 playlist URL of the video
- Paste it into the input box and click Parse
- Watch the segment grid while the multi-threaded download runs
- Click any red block to retry a failed segment
- Wait for the segments to merge, then save the TS file
FAQ
Is the M3U8 downloader free?
Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up and no download limits.
Does my video pass through your server?
Segments are downloaded by your browser; sources blocked by CORS are relayed through a server proxy. Merging and saving are done locally, and the server does not store your video.
What format is the downloaded video?
Segments are merged into a single .ts file that plays directly in VLC, PotPlayer, and similar players. You can convert it to MP4 afterwards if needed.
What if some segments fail to download?
Red blocks in the progress grid mark failed segments — click one to retry it. Persistent failures usually mean the source restricts access or the link has expired; try a fresh link.
