Why Choose KeepStreams for BBC iPlayer?
Keep BBC Programmes Beyond App Viewing Windows
BBC iPlayer programmes may be subject to app restrictions, availability periods, and offline viewing windows. KeepStreams saves programmes you are already allowed to watch as local MP4 or MKV files, making it easier to keep and organize your personal offline library.
Once downloaded, the files can be played on laptops, TVs, tablets, or media servers without depending on the BBC iPlayer app for playback. KeepStreams does not provide access to unavailable programmes or remove BBC account, regional, or licence requirements.
Preserve BBC Quality from 720p to 4K HLG
KeepStreams supports 4K, 1080p, and 720p, including HLG HDR for compatible UHD programmes, so you can save BBC content in the best quality available from the source.
Choose H.264 for broad playback compatibility or H.265 for more efficient storage, while keeping AAC 2.0 audio. This gives you more control over file size, playback devices, and your offline library.
Build a Smarter BBC Programme Library
KeepStreams combines batch downloading, scheduled episode downloads, subtitles, language selection, and metadata in one desktop workflow. Instead of managing temporary app downloads one by one, you can build a clearly organized personal offline library.
New users can test the BBC iPlayer module with up to 3 full-length downloads before deciding whether to purchase a license.

Keep Audio, Subtitles, and Preferred Languages
BBC iPlayer offers programmes with different language and accessibility options. KeepStreams lets you select the available audio and subtitle language before downloading and keeps AAC 2.0 sound.
Download available subtitles together with the video so documentaries, regional programmes, and dialogue-heavy series are easier to follow when watching offline on your preferred device.
Download BBC iPlayer Programmes in Up to 4K HLG
KeepStreams detects the resolutions available for the selected BBC iPlayer programme and can download supported UHD content in up to 4K with HLG HDR.
When 4K is not available, choose 1080p or 720p based on your screen, storage space, and download needs. This makes it easy to keep documentaries, dramas, and other BBC programmes in the best available quality for offline viewing.
Save as MP4/MKV with H.264 or H.265
Save BBC iPlayer programmes as standard local files that are easier to play, transfer, and organize. KeepStreams supports both MP4 and MKV output, so you can choose the format that best fits your devices and media library.
Select H.264 for broad compatibility or H.265 for more efficient storage at comparable visual quality. Keep AAC 2.0 audio for clear dialogue, music, and everyday playback.
Batch Download Full Series and Box Sets
Downloading a multi-episode drama or documentary series one programme at a time quickly becomes repetitive. KeepStreams can analyze the available episodes and add multiple selections to one batch download queue.
Choose the episodes you want, set the quality once, and let the software process the queue. Available metadata is saved with the files, helping you keep programme and episode information organized in your offline library.

Automatically Save New BBC Episodes
Following a weekly BBC series should not mean checking iPlayer for every new episode. Add the programme to a scheduled download task and choose when KeepStreams should check for updates.
When a new episode becomes available on BBC iPlayer, KeepStreams can download it automatically. This helps keep your offline collection up to date without manually searching for each release.
