To watch a Kiwify course offline, the most direct route is to download the lessons on your computer and open the files in a local player, with no internet needed. Kiwify doesn't usually have its own offline mode in the app, so you need a copy of the video on your device. That copy can come from a download button some courses enable or from an extension that finds the video inside the members area, like Kiwify Downloader.
Below you'll see how to prepare lessons for offline viewing, how to move the files to your phone, a comparison of the methods, and where each one fails.
What "watching offline" means on Kiwify
Watching offline means the video plays without an internet connection. In practice, that requires the file to be saved on your computer, phone, or tablet. The Kiwify members area runs in the browser and needs a connection to load lessons, so you can't count on it when you have no signal.
There are three ways to get that file:
- Use the download button the creator enabled in the course.
- Download the video with an extension made for Kiwify.
- Record your screen while the lesson plays, as a last resort.
Before you choose, check the course terms. Downloading for personal use is different from sharing lessons.
Method 1: use the course's official download (when it exists)
Some creators enable lesson downloads right inside the members area. It's the simplest path and fully within the course rules.
- Go to the Kiwify members area and log in.
- Open the course and pick the lesson you want to watch offline.
- Look for a button like "Download" or an arrow icon near the player.
- Click it and wait for the file to save to your device.
- Open the file in a player to confirm the video is complete.
Where this method fails
- Many courses show no download button for videos at all.
- Sometimes the download offered is only for PDFs and extra materials, not video lessons.
- On your phone, the browser may open the video in another tab without offering a save option.
If you didn't find any official option, the next step is to use an extension that recognizes the Kiwify player.
Method 2: download lessons with Kiwify Downloader
Kiwify Downloader is a Chrome extension built to find videos inside the Kiwify members area and save a copy to your computer. After that, you watch offline in any player, with no internet needed.
How to install it
- Open Google Chrome on your computer.
- Go to the Kiwify Downloader page in the Chrome Web Store.
- Click "Add to Chrome" and confirm with "Add extension".
- Pin the icon to the toolbar so it's easy to find.
How to download a lesson to watch offline
- Go to
members.kiwify.comand log in. - Open the lesson you want to download and let the video start loading.
- Click the Kiwify Downloader icon.
- If it's your first time, create the free account with Google login to get 15 credits.
- Wait for the extension to detect the video on the page.
- Select the video and confirm the credit use.
- Choose the folder and download the MP4 file.
- Open the file in a player like VLC to confirm everything is fine.
How credits work
- Each new video costs 5 credits.
- You get 15 free credits when you sign up with Google, which is about 3 videos.
- The Standard plan gives you 100 credits per month (about 20 videos).
- The Pro plan gives you 150 credits per month (about 30 videos).
- Re-downloading the same video usually doesn't cost credits again.

Where this method fails
- It works in the Chrome ecosystem; there's no native version for the Kiwify phone app.
- Some courses use different players or settings that make the video harder to detect.
- An unstable connection can interrupt the download and leave a corrupted file.
- Free credits run out fast if you download many lessons.
How to move lessons to your phone and watch offline
Downloading on your PC is the easy part; the challenge is having the video on your phone when you have no internet. Once the MP4 is downloaded, move the file one of these ways:
- Connect your phone to the PC with a USB cable and copy the folder with the lessons.
- Upload the file to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive and download it on your phone before you leave.
- Send it to yourself on Telegram or WhatsApp and save it to the device.
On Android or iOS, open the file in any compatible player. The video plays without using mobile data and without being logged in to Kiwify.
Where this method fails
- Video files take up space; a long course can fill up your phone's storage.
- Cloud services need internet to download the file to your phone before your trip.
- The format has to be compatible with your device's player; MP4 usually works well.
Comparison of methods for watching offline
| Method | Ease | Video quality | Time per lesson | Cost | When it makes the most sense |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official course download | High | Whatever the creator released | Just the download time | Free | When the course offers the button |
| Kiwify Downloader (extension) | High | Usually the original | Just the download time | 15 free credits; then monthly plans | When there's no official download and you watch in the browser |
| Screen recording | Medium | Lower, depends on the screen | The full length of the lesson | Free | When no tool can find the video |
Method 3: record your screen as a last resort
When no tool can find the video, you can record your screen while the lesson plays in full screen.
- Open the lesson and switch to full screen.
- On Windows, press
Win + Gto open Xbox Game Bar and click record. - On macOS, press
Shift + Command + 5and choose to record the screen. - Watch the whole lesson without pausing.
- Stop the recording and find the file in your captures folder.
Where this method fails
- It takes the entire lesson: a 1-hour lesson takes 1 hour to record.
- The quality is the screen's, not the original file's.
- Notifications and windows that pop up end up in the recording.
- The files are usually larger than the original video.

Things to keep in mind when downloading lessons for offline viewing
- Use the files only for personal study and don't share them in groups or on social media.
- Read the creator's terms before downloading; some courses don't allow local copies.
- Download only through trusted sources, like the Chrome Web Store, to avoid suspicious files.
- Organize folders by course and module so you can find lessons fast when you're offline.
The short version
To watch a Kiwify course offline, download the lessons on your computer, either through the course's official button or with Kiwify Downloader when there's no native download, and move the MP4 files to the device you'll study on. After that, the videos play in any player without internet, always for personal use and respecting the creator's terms.
