To download Kiwify video on PC, you can use anything from a specific extension (like Kiwify Downloader) to screen recorders, depending on the course and the browser. The most practical approach is usually an extension that recognizes Kiwify's player, identifies the video file, and downloads it as MP4 straight to your computer, using a per-download credit system. If nothing works, you can still record the screen while the class plays in full screen.
In this guide you will see the main ways to download Kiwify video on PC, with step-by-step instructions, comparisons, and the limits of each method.
1. What to know before downloading Kiwify videos on PC
Before you start downloading everything, it helps to align on three points:
- Personal use: downloading classes to watch offline makes sense if you have poor internet or study on the go. Avoid sharing the files, even in small groups.
- Course terms: some creators enable downloads, others do not comment on it. When it is not clear, it is best to keep the videos for yourself and your own study routine.
- Security: do not install random programs downloaded from blogs. Chrome Web Store extensions and well-known recording apps are safer than executables from dubious sources.
2. Best way: use the Kiwify Downloader extension in Chrome
The most direct way to download Kiwify video on PC is to use an extension built for this platform. Kiwify Downloader is a Chrome extension designed to find videos inside the Kiwify members area and save the file on your computer.
How Kiwify Downloader works
- The extension becomes active when you visit
members.kiwify.com. - It identifies the video playlist files (
.m3u8) used by the player. - With one click, it converts that stream into a video file you can save.
- Usage is controlled by credits:
- 5 credits per new video.
- 15 free credits when you sign up with Google (about 3 videos).
- Standard and Pro plans with 100 and 150 monthly credits, respectively.
This saves you from having to hunt for hidden links or use several different tools for each course.
Step by step: downloading Kiwify video with Kiwify Downloader
- Open Google Chrome on your PC.
- Go to the Chrome Web Store.
- Search for "Kiwify Downloader" and open the extension page.
- Click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the installation.
- Log in to your Kiwify account at
members.kiwify.com. - Open the class you want to download and let it play for a few seconds.
- Click the Kiwify Downloader icon next to the address bar.
- Wait for the extension to find the page's video.
- Select the available quality (when there is more than one).
- Confirm the use of credits for that video.
- Click download and choose the folder where the file will be saved.
- After the download, test the file in a player like VLC or Windows' default player.
Organize your files by course and module (for example, Course-X/Module-01/Lesson-01.mp4) so you do not get lost among many classes.
Where this method fails or has limits
- Limited browser support: Kiwify Downloader works within the Chrome ecosystem. If you only use Firefox or Safari, you will need to install Chrome or another browser compatible with Chrome extensions.
- Very recent classes with technical changes: if Kiwify changes something in the player or video server, the extension might take a little while to catch up.
- Credits run out: at 5 credits per video, the 15 free credits run out quickly. After that, you need to decide whether a monthly plan fits your study volume.
- Course restrictions: if the creator blocks the video with additional protections, some specific content may not be downloadable even with the extension.
3. Alternatives: downloading or recording Kiwify video without an extension
If you do not want to use an extension, or you are on a PC where you cannot install anything in the browser, there are still alternatives. They range from trying to save the video through the browser to recording the screen while the class plays.
3.1. Using the browser itself (when the player allows it)
Some courses hosted on Kiwify use simpler video setups. In rare cases, the browser's standard download option may appear.
- Open the Kiwify class in your browser.
- Right-click the video player.
- Check for an option like "Save video as…" or "Download".
- If it appears, choose a folder and save the file.
Limits of this method
- Rarely happens: on most courses, right-clicking only opens the player's own menus, with no download option.
- Quality is not always clear: you do not always know if you are downloading the best resolution.
- Can stop working: if the creator changes the player's settings, the option disappears.
3.2. Recording the screen with capture apps
When no tool can "see" the video to download it, the fallback is recording what appears on screen.
On Windows (Xbox Game Bar screen recorder)
- Open the Kiwify class and put it in full screen.
- Press
Win + Gto open the Xbox Game Bar. - Click the record button (circle icon).
- Watch the entire class without pausing, to capture everything.
- When it ends, click the stop recording button.
- Open the default recorded videos folder (usually
Videos/Captures).
On macOS (built-in recorder)
- Press
Shift + Command + 5. - Choose the option to record the entire screen or just the browser window.
- Click "Record" and start the Kiwify class in full screen.
- When the class ends, click the stop recording icon in the top bar.
- Find the generated video file on the desktop or in the chosen folder.
Limits of screen recording
- Takes as long as the class: a 1-hour class takes 1 hour to record.
- Lower quality: you record what you see, not the original file; any internet drop or lag shows up in the recording.
- Larger files: full screen recordings tend to generate heavier files than the original compressed video.
- On-screen activity gets captured too: if you touch other windows or notifications pop up, that ends up in the video as well.
4. Comparing methods to download Kiwify video on PC
When you have more than one option, it helps to see what each one delivers.
| Method | Ease for beginners | Video quality | Time per class | Approximate cost | When it makes the most sense |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kiwify Downloader (extension) | High | Usually the original one | Just the download time | 15 free credits; then monthly plans | For downloading several classes directly from Kiwify |
| Direct download via browser | Very high (when it exists) | Depends on the player | Just the download time | Free | For courses that left the download button enabled |
| Screen recording (Windows/Mac) | Medium | Lower, depends on the screen | The entire length of the class | Free (built-in apps) | For classes that no other tool can download |
In short: if you plan to build an offline library of one or more Kiwify-hosted courses, a dedicated extension like Kiwify Downloader tends to be the best trade-off in terms of time and organization.
5. Common questions about downloading Kiwify video
Can I use any generic video-download extension?
You can test generic media-download extensions, but many of them do not recognize Kiwify's player well, or they try to capture ads and irrelevant files. Tools built specifically for the platform, like Kiwify Downloader, have been tuned to work with the domains Kiwify actually uses.
Will I get banned from Kiwify for downloading videos?
At this time there is no clear sign of an automatic ban just for watching or downloading classes through the browser, but that can change at any moment and also varies by course. Use good judgment, respect your account's limits, and avoid excessive simultaneous requests.
How can I save credits when using Kiwify Downloader?
Credits are only spent on new videos. If you download the same class twice, you are usually charged only once. So, download only what you actually plan to watch offline and keep a cloud or external-drive backup of your most important classes.
Can I download just the audio from the classes?
Tools built for Kiwify are usually focused on the full video. One alternative is to download the MP4 and, if it makes sense for you, convert it to MP3 afterward in a local editor, without re-uploading the file to unknown sites.
Does downloading Kiwify video on PC also work for recorded live sessions?
If the live session was published as a lesson inside the members area, it tends to work like any other video. If it is in a different area with a different type of player, you might need to fall back on screen recording.
If you are considering a refund, see Kiwify's course refund steps and timing; a saved video does not change the creator's copyright or the guarantee.
The short version
To download Kiwify video on PC, the most practical path is an extension that understands the platform's player, like Kiwify Downloader, which identifies the video file and downloads it as MP4 using a credit system. When the player does not allow that, you can still try a direct download through the browser (on courses that enable it) or fall back on screen recording, always for personal use and respecting the course creator's terms.
A creator-provided workbook or PDF is not a streaming video. See the separate guide to downloading Kiwify lesson attachments for the built-in file workflow instead of using a video-saving extension.
