[Free & Paid] 7 Best OnlyFans Downloaders on PC, Mac, Andriod

If you're reading this, you've probably hit the same wall I did last week. I was trying to archive a few DM videos from OnlyFans—content I legally paid for—only to find my screen recording software returning a pitch-black screen. Worse, that "Free OnlyFans Downloader" I used last month has vanished from the Chrome Web Store. This is the result of stricter DRM protection.

I've spent the last two weeks testing over 20 tools—from sketchy "free" scripts on GitHub to premium software—to see what actually works. I looked for safety (no viruses), bulk downloading capabilities (who wants to click "save" 500 times?), and support for the latest encryption standards.

Below, I've categorized the survivors of my stress test, whether you are on Windows (jump to section), Mac (jump to section), or looking for a mobile solution for Android (jump to section).

Quick Comparison: Pick the Top OnlyFans Downloaders

Don't want to check the review one by one? Here is a comparison of the selected tools in this post:

Windows/Mac: Best Desktop Software for OnlyFans

If you are serious about archiving OnlyFans content—I mean downloading hundreds of posts from a creator you've subscribed to—browser extensions won't cut it. You need dedicated desktop software that can handle DRM-protected videos.

This is the heavy artillery. These tools simulate a browser environment to legally log you in, then extract the original video files in high quality for us. Also, these top features come with a price: most of them require a subscription.

1. KeepStreamas for OnlyFans

Target Audience: Power users, data hoarders, and anyone who needs to download entire profiles in bulk.

KeepStreams is the tool I ended up keeping installed after my testing marathon. The "Killer Feature" here is the capability to save nearly all videos from OnlyFans, no matter whether they're from DM, home feed, or paid stream.

KeepStreams for OnlyFans

While other tools struggled with videos uploaded in late 2024 (returning black screens or audio-only files), KeepStreams consistently pulled 1080p MP4s. My favorite part? The auto download function. I went to a creator's "Media" tab, and tickled the "Auto Download" button. Next time, I got the newly posted videos right away, saving much time and energy.

However, the price tag is higher than generic downloaders. Also, looking at Reddit threads, if OnlyFans updates its DRM algorithm (which happens 1-2 times a year), you might have to wait a few days for a software patch. (Still, better a short wait than a tool that breaks permanently.)

To use KeepStreams to download OnlyFans videos, follow these steps:

Find OnlyFans on the VIP Services Bar. Log in to your OnlyFans account, and then you can play videos in the built-in browser.

The video will be analyzed automatically, and a download window will pop up. Make download settings here.

Check the downloading process in the "Downloading" section and find the downloads in the "Downloaded" section.

2. CleverGet OnlyFans Downloader

Target Audience: Users who prefer a modular pricing structure (buy only what you need)

It feels very similar to KeepStreams but with a slightly more "modern" browser interface. It does a solid job of detecting video resolutions up to 1080p.

What makes it unique is its modular design—you can technically just buy the "OnlyFans Module" without paying for Netflix or Disney+ downloaders (like KeepStreams). In my tests, the success rate was around 70%. It failed on a few specific PPV messages and the free home feed.

The "Analyzing" process can be a bit slower than KeepStreams. I waited for about 3 minutes once. Although it has a clear UI, the response speed does not seem to be better than other tools.

To use CleverGet, you also need to log in to the OnlyFans account in the built-in browser:

1. Find OnlyFans from the home
2. Go to the video page and ensure the blue download button shows up in the bottom right

3. Click the download button, and wait for the analysis.

4. Downloaded videos can be checked in the right-side column.

Honestly, MovPilot is a pro downloader that performs well for many major streaming services. But for OnlyFans... I tried 5 videos, and it only successfully analyzed 1. I list it here because it's still a nice choice for downloading videos.

3. VidJucie Unitube Video Downloader

Target Audience: Generalists who want one tool for YouTube, TikTok, and OnlyFans.

VidJuice is primarily a "generic" video downloader that claims support 10,000+ sites. Its strength is versatility. If you download from many sources, it's a good all-in-one hub. However, for OnlyFans specifically, it feels less "specialized." But it can works on Windows, Mac and also Android.

It works via a "Private Mode" browser. It gets the job done for single videos, but don't expect an advanced download experience like the top two tools. You can't choose the video quality. It's a solid backup if you want a cheaper lifetime license that covers every site imaginable.

It lacks specific metadata handling for OnlyFans (filenames can sometimes be messy, and the analysis fails sometimes). The DRM decryption isn't as robust for purchased PPV content.

The trial allows you to download 5 videos, but features like "Unlimited Speed" and "Batch Download" are locked behind the paywall. Follow these steps to use VidJuice:

1. Open the "Online" tab (Private Browser) within VidJuice. (Do not directly paste the video URL)
2. Log in to your OnlyFans account and enter the video page.
3. When the "Possible Download Links" button shows up, click it.

4. In a pop-up window, click "Download".

5. Check the download progress in the "Downloader" tab.

4. iTubeGo

Target Audience: Budget-conscious users who also want an Android companion app.

iTubeGo is a workhorse. It's fast, lightweight, and supports a massive range of formats. A huge plus is that they have a functional Android app (which I'll touch on later), so buying a license often feels like a better value if you are in the Android ecosystem.

It handled standard OnlyFans posts well in my testing, though I had to manually rename a few files. It’s less "smart" than KeepStreams but very effective at raw downloading.

Some antivirus software (like Norton) occasionally flags it as a "PUA" (Potentially Unwanted Application) due to its aggressive installer, though it's generally safe. The interface is a bit dated compared to CleverGet.

The free version is limited to 3 downloads and converts only 1/3 of the video length for music files. Here's my personal test to use iTubeGo to download OnlyFans videos:

1. Launch iTubeGo > Download > Paste URL

2. Open the built-in browser, log in to your OnlyFans account, and click the orange "Download" button in the video.

3. Go to the "Downloading" tab to check the download progress.

On Chrome and Firefox: Best Free OnlyFans Downloaders

If installing a dedicated software suite feels like overkill, or if you just want to grab one quick clip, browser extensions are your next best bet. However, a word of warning: Google Chrome hates these tools. The Chrome Web Store aggressively bans OnlyFans downloaders.

That's why I recommend Firefox here. It's the Wild West where these extensions actually survive.

Why Chrome Extensions Are Disappearing?

Have you ever noticed that links from Reddit threads or YouTube videos lead to "404 Not Found" pages on the Chrome Web Store? Here is what has been happening in recent years:

1. Policy Crackdown: Google has tightened its developer policies. Extensions that explicitly facilitate downloading copyrighted content from adult platforms (OnlyFans, Fansly) are being flagged and banned faster than ever.

2. The "Whac-A-Mole" Game: Developers re-upload their extensions under new names (e.g., "Downloader for OF" becomes "Social Media Saver 2025"), but they usually get banned within weeks.

3. Security Risks: Because legit developers are leaving the store, the remaining extensions are often sketchy. I’ve seen "free" extensions that require access to your entire browsing history, posing a huge security risk to your private data.

If you insist on using a browser extension, switch to Firefox. Mozilla's store is far less restrictive. If you must use Chrome, understand that any extension I recommend below (like SteptoDown) could technically disappear tomorrow.

1. SteptoDown (Best for Chrome Users)

Target Audience: Minimalists and Chrome users who don't want to install any software or extensions on their machine.

SteptoDown is a classic "copy-paste" web tool. It's a website, not an app. This is perfect for PC users because it completely bypasses the Chrome Web Store's bans.

During my testing, the process was straightforward: I copied the link of an OnlyFans post, pasted it into the white box on their homepage, and hit "Download." It’s designed to be a universal grabber. It's useful if you just want to save one video quickly without leaving a trace of installed software.

But the site is heavy on advertisements, and sometimes clicking "Download" triggers a redirect to a spammy page before the actual download starts. Also, because it's a web tool, it struggles heavily with Private/Locked content. If you aren't logged in via the tool, it often can't access the video file behind the paywall.

Here's how to use SteptoDown to save videos from OnlyFans:

1. Go to the OnlyFans post you want to download and copy the URL from your address bar.
2. Open SteptoDown.com in a new tab.
3. Paste the link into the input field.
4. Click Download (and close any pop-up ads that appear).

2. Video DownloadHelper

Target Audience: Chrome/Firefox users and technical users who want a "Swiss Army Knife" for downloading videos from any site, not just OnlyFans.

This is a legendary add-on in the browser world. Video DownloadHelper (VDH) detects media streams and supports high-quality saving up to 1080p. For more browser extensions for OnlyFans recommendations, continue to read the other post.

When I played an OnlyFans video, the VDH icon turned colorful, indicating it found the stream. It's excellent at catching "HLS" streams (those files that are split into thousands of tiny .ts chunks) and stitching them back together into a single MP4.

But for certain complex encryption types, it requires you to install a "Companion App" on your PC, which defeats the purpose of just using a browser extension. The basic version (at least for OnlyFans) is free. Here's how to use it to download a video from OnlyFans:

1. Install the add-on
2. Enter the video page and play the video
3. When the Video DownloadHelper icon turns colorful, click it and click "Download".

4. Sometimes, it might fail to detect the video. Reload the page and try again.

3. Native Recording Tools

Target Audience: The "Safety First" users who absolutely refuse to install any third-party software or extensions.

Sometimes, the best tool is the one you already have. Luckily, both Windows and macOS come with built-in screen recorders:

• On Windows: Snipping Tool
• On Mac: QuickTime Player

These built-in recorders are simple, free, and baked into the OS. The main advantage here is trust. You aren't giving your login credentials to a random app. However, this method is strictly for recording, not downloading. You have to play the video in real-time.

Such a tool can't handle a black screen. Browsers always detect screen recorders and black out the content, especially on OnlyFans. You may need to disable "Hardware Acceleration" in your browser settings to bypass this, but it doesn't always work now. Also, there is no metadata, and the quality depends on your screen resolution, not the source file.

Here's how to wake up and use the native recorders on your computer:

• Windows: Press Windows Key + Shift + S (or search Snipping Tool), switch to Video mode, draw a box around the video, and hit Record.

• Mac: Press Command + Shift + 5, select "Record Selected Portion," highlight the video, and click Record.

On Mobile: Is It Possible to Download on Android?

Downloading OnlyFans videos on mobile is a pain. If you are an iPhone user, you are mostly out of luck—Apple's sandbox is too strict, and I highly recommend just downloading on a PC (check section 2) and transferring the files.

But if you are on Android, you have a secret weapon. It is not perfect, but it works if you know the right workaround.

Can You Download OnlyFans Videos on Android?

The short answer is yes, but you won't find an "OnlyFans Downloader" on the Google Play Store. Most "downloader apps" you see are just glorified web browsers filled with ads. However, because Android is an open ecosystem, we can use a "loophole" involving desktop extensions.

Recommended Workaround: Kiwi Browser + Chrome Extensions

Target Audience: Mobile phone users who don't have access to a PC or simply want to save content directly to their phone's gallery.

Although Chrome on mobile devices doesn't support extensions, Kiwi Browser does. It is a custom Android browser based on Chromium that allows you to install full desktop Chrome extensions on your phone.

I tested this on my Pixel 8. I installed Kiwi from the Play Store, then went to a third-party extension mirror. I side-loaded a generic "OnlyFans Downloader" extension. Surprisingly, it worked. When I logged into OnlyFans inside Kiwi, the extension injected a download button under the post, just like it would on a desktop. It’s the only way to download directly without using a PC intermediary.

Also, this method has a drawback. It is clunky. Desktop extensions are not designed for 6-inch touchscreens, so the download buttons can be very tiny. It also drains the battery significantly faster than the regular Chrome app. Plus, finding a working extension file (.crx) that hasn't been banned is still a challenge—you often have to hunt through GitHub or Reddit.

Here's the whole process I do with Kiwi:

1. Download Kiwi Browser from the Google Play Store.
2. Open Kiwi and search for a working extension (such as Video DownloadHelper or specific userscripts like "Violentmonkey").
3. Add the extension to Kiwi.
4. Log in to your OnlyFans account inside the Kiwi Browser.
5. Navigate to the video you want, and tap the newly appeared Download button.

Is it Safe to Use OnlyFans Video Downloaders? Risks You Need to Know

The internet is littered with "Free OnlyFans Viewer" tools that are nothing more than phishing scams. Here is what we should watch out for.

Avoiding Malware and Scams

If you see a website claiming to be an "OnlyFans Premium Account Generator" or a tool that asks for your login credentials without showing a legitimate browser interface—RUN.

Many "free downloaders" capture your session cookies. This leads to the dreaded login error or, worse, your account getting hijacked.

Only use verified software (like KeepStreams or CleverGet) that has a built-in secure browser. Because your login happens directly on the official OnlyFans site, and the software simply "watches" the stream. It doesn't see your password directly.

Legal & Privacy Concerns

Can OnlyFans detect if we download a video? Generally, NO. If you use the tools listed above, OnlyFans sees it as a normal user watching a video. They do not get a notification that a file was saved to your hard drive.

Is it illegal? Generally, downloading content you have legally purchased for personal offline viewing is often considered "Fair Use" in many regions. However, redistributing that content (uploading it to torrent sites or leaks) is absolutely illegal and falls under piracy. Don't be that person. Respect the creators.

Conclusion

There is no official way to download from OnlyFans. An extra tool is necessary. But third-party tools vary in quality, features, and safety. The 8 methods I introduced in this post are all tested and verified.

The "best OnlyFans downloader" depends on everyone's requirements. Hope my review and test can help you find a reliable way to download OnlyFans videos on different devices. Try them and pick the best one for yourself!
