MyFlixer has no official download button — no built-in MyFlixer downloader or MyFlixer video downloader feature — but there are three proven methods to save movies and TV shows for offline viewing. This guide covers all three, step by step, for every device.
Yes — but not through an official download button. MyFlixer streams content through third-party video servers and does not provide a native save or download feature. However, three methods consistently work across different devices and server types. Each method suits different situations, and knowing which one to use saves a lot of time.
The most important thing to do before attempting any download is to install uBlock Origin in your browser. MyFlixer's video players are served by third-party providers that inject pop-up advertisements — some of which are aggressive and can interfere with the download process. With uBlock Origin active, these pop-ups are blocked before they load, making the entire process cleaner and safer.
Also worth noting: downloading copyrighted movies and TV shows without authorisation from the rights holder may violate copyright law in your country. The legal risk of downloading is generally considered higher than streaming, since a downloaded file is a permanent copy rather than a temporary stream. If you are in a country with active copyright enforcement, consider using a VPN alongside any of the methods below.
The most reliable and widely used method. A video downloader browser extension detects the video stream URL that MyFlixer loads inside the player and lets you save it as a file directly to your device. Works on Windows and Mac with Chrome or Firefox.
Free browser extension — detects and captures any video stream playing in your browser
Open the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons page and search for Video DownloadHelper. It is a free extension with over 10 million installs. Click Add to Chrome (or Add to Firefox) and confirm the installation. A small icon will appear in your browser toolbar.
Navigate to a working MyFlixer domain and find the movie or episode you want to download. Click play on the video. The Video DownloadHelper icon in your toolbar will animate — this means it has detected an active video stream on the page.
Click the Video DownloadHelper icon in your toolbar. A dropdown will appear listing all detected video streams on the current page. You will typically see several entries — these correspond to the different quality levels of the stream (360p, 720p, 1080p).
Select the quality you want — higher numbers mean better quality and larger file size. Click the download arrow next to your chosen stream. The file will begin downloading to your default Downloads folder. For longer videos, this may take several minutes depending on your connection speed.
Some MyFlixer servers use stream protection that prevents the extension from detecting the URL. If this happens, switch to a different server on the player page and click play again. The extension will re-scan. Most titles have at least one server that the extension can capture.
Some of the server options available within the MyFlixer player provide a direct download button — no extensions, no additional software required. The catch is that not every server offers this, and it varies by title. But when it works, it is the simplest and fastest method.
Available on select server options — check below the player or inside player controls
Navigate to the movie or episode page on MyFlixer. Scroll down slightly below the video player. Some server configurations display a download icon or button directly below the player frame — usually labeled "Download" or with an arrow-down symbol. If you see it, click it and the file will begin downloading immediately.
On some server types, the download option is hidden inside the player itself rather than displayed below it. Look for a three-dot menu, a settings icon, or a download icon within the player's control bar at the bottom of the video. Click it to reveal the download option if available.
If the current server has no download option, switch to the next available server using the server selection buttons on the page. Reload the player and check again. Different servers use different video hosting providers — some provide download access while others do not. It is worth checking all available servers for a given title before moving to another method.
When you click the download button, your browser will either immediately start downloading the file or display a save prompt. If a save prompt appears, choose a destination folder and confirm. The file format is usually MP4 which plays in any video player. If the browser tries to play the file instead of downloading it, right-click the download button and select Save Link As.
The most universal method — works on every device and operating system without any additional tools beyond what is already built into most modern devices. The tradeoff is that the resulting file quality depends on your screen resolution and you need to watch the video in real time while recording.
Works on Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android — no extra software needed on most devices
On Windows 10 and 11, press Win + G to open the Xbox Game Bar. Click the record button (circle icon) or press Win + Alt + R to start recording. Open your browser, navigate to MyFlixer, and play the video. Press Win + Alt + R again when finished. The file saves automatically to your Videos folder as an MP4.
Open QuickTime Player from your Applications folder. Go to File → New Screen Recording. Click the record button, choose whether to record the full screen or a selected area, then click Start Recording. Play the video on MyFlixer. When done, click the stop button in the menu bar. QuickTime saves the recording as a .mov file which plays in any modern media player.
Add Screen Recording to your Control Center if not already there (Settings → Control Center → add Screen Recording). Swipe down to open Control Centre, long-press the record button, and make sure Microphone is on if you want audio. Tap Start Recording, open Safari, navigate to MyFlixer, and play the video. Tap the red status bar at the top when you want to stop. The recording saves to your Photos app.
Most Android phones (Android 11 and above) include a built-in screen recorder in the Quick Settings panel — pull down your notification shade and look for a Screen Recorder tile. If your phone does not have one built in, install AZ Screen Recorder from the Play Store — it is free and does not add watermarks. Start recording, play the video on MyFlixer, and stop when done. The file saves to your phone storage as an MP4.
The right download method depends on what device you are using. Here is the recommended approach for each platform.
Use Video DownloadHelper in Chrome or Firefox for the best results. For streams the extension cannot detect, use yt-dlp from the command line. Screen recording via Xbox Game Bar is the fallback.
Method 1 recommendedVideo DownloadHelper works well in Chrome and Firefox on Mac. QuickTime Player provides a reliable built-in screen recording option that is simple to use and produces clean output.
Method 1 or 3Check for a direct download link below the player first — this is the easiest option on iOS. If not available, use the built-in iOS Screen Recording feature accessible from the Control Centre.
Method 2 or 3Use Kiwi Browser (a Chromium-based Android browser that supports Chrome extensions) with Video DownloadHelper installed. Alternatively, use the built-in screen recorder or AZ Screen Recorder.
Method 1 or 3Direct download is not practical on TV devices. The most feasible option is to download the file on your phone or computer first using Method 1 or 2, then transfer it to the TV via USB drive or streaming it from your phone.
Download on phone firstyt-dlp is a free, open-source command-line tool that handles a much wider range of video stream formats than browser extensions. If you are comfortable with a terminal, it is the most powerful option across all platforms.
