OnlyFans offline viewing is important, especially when we're travelling, commuting, or bothered by buffering and glitches. But can you download purchased OnlyFans videos? Yes, but not directly through the website, because of DRM protection (Widevine).
OnlyFans allows you to watch purchased content in your "Message" tab or "Vault," but doesn't provide a service for saving it offline. Standard screen recorders often fail to capture video due to these copyright protections. It requires a specialized OnlyFans downloader capable of bypassing black-screen limits.
This guide exists to help you save a personal copy of OnlyFans purchases from the home feed, DM, or profiles. Read on to find, save, and watch your purchased content anytime.
Quick Guide:
It requires DRM-supported tools, as standard browsers restrict protected playback, to download purchased videos on OnlyFans. There is NO native Download button. So we need:
- PC: Use tools to save videos you can access ➡️ Jump to Section 3
- Phone: Use screen recording ( DRM may block capture and cause a black screen)
Do not share or re-upload. ➡️ Jump to Section 4
Where is My Purchased Content on OnlyFans?
Rex
There is no in-app "Purchases" library that downloads to your device.
Try find your purchased videos from the Creator profile or Messages.
OnlyFans does not provide you with a centralized store or location to find the purchased videos and other content on your device. This will include your PC or mobile device.
However, there may be a few different ways that you can use to find the content that you have purchased.
Option 1
Creator profile
Go to the creator’s profile and check Posts / Media. You can directly go to the creator profile from whom you have purchased the content. You can check the options like posts, media, etc.
Option 2
Messages
Review your messages for pay-per-view links or confirmations. Check your OnlyFans DMs and emails. Most of the creators send you an email or message when you purchase the content from them.
Where can I find my OnlyFans purchase history?
- OnlyFans does not provide a full in-app transaction ledger.
- To review charges, check your bank/credit card statements (look for OnlyFans or CCBill descriptors).
- Need a formal record? Contact OnlyFans Support with proof of payment.
You can play content in-app with an internet connection. If you need an offline reference, see options below (subject to DRM and ToS).
Before Downloading Videos: Note About DMCA and DRM
Can OnlyFans tell if you download? No, there is no built-in function to detect the users' downloads or recordings. But we should still respect the creators and pay attention to the legality, especially the DMCA and DRM.
DMCA law (in the US) prohibits circumventing digital protection (DRM) or copying content without permission. It's acceptable to make personal copies for offline viewing, but it should be done with the creator's explicit permission and must not be shared or resold. Do not attempt to bypass DRM. For more details, read what you should know before making copies.
This article is committed to respecting intellectual property rights and the streaming policies of OnlyFans. It's only written for personal and educational purposes. I do not recommend or encourage any unauthorized downloading, sharing, ripping, or misuse of OnlyFans Videos.
How to Download OnlyFans Purchases on Desktop?
It is not that easy to download the OnlyFans videos on a desktop from within the app directly. In fact, OnlyFans has stringent guidelines when it comes to downloading or sharing content on its platform. That's the reason why we need an extra tool, such as a professional downloader and a browser extension.
The final decision depends on your requirements. So, I can't give exact advice. Before jumping into the details, check the comparison table of the details:
| Feature | KeepStreams | Video DownloadHelper (extension) |
| Video Quality | 1080p | 1080p |
| Batch Download | ✅ | ❌ |
| Safety | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (No support team) |
| Speed | GPU Acceleration | Based on your browser |
| DRM Handling | ✅ | ⚠️ (It refuses to save DRM-protected videos) |
| Auto-Download | ✅ | ❌ |
| Best For... | Datahoarders or users prefer a better download experience | Random users who just occasionally want to save a video |
All the methods require your access to the videos first. No tools can help you "bypass" or "remove" the DRM of OnlyFans videos. If they claim so, be cautious about privacy and account security.
Method 1: Use a Professional Downloader
If you want to download OnlyFans videos on computers and save them forever, the default options may not be easy to follow. That is where you would find the dedicated third-party downloader, KeepStreams for OnlyFans, to be an excellent choice.
It can help you download the DRM-protected OnlyFans videos from home feed, DM, and profiles, in original quality, MP4/MKV format. What's more, it has a special function: auto-download. It means KeepStreams will detect the newly added videos to my subscribed account. It's a wonderful service for datahoarder like me.
Follow the easy steps below to download your purchased videos from OnlyFans:

Method 2: Use a Browser Extension
If you prefer a quick and more convenient way, it may be a good idea to use a browser extension to help you download a video from OnlyFans. But before using them, you need to know the involved "black screen" issue and privacy risk.

Most Chrome extensions cannot bypass the Widevine L3 protection used by OnlyFans. You may download a file that has audio, but a black screen. Also, some free extensions may track your browsing history. So please pay special attention.
If you still wish to try, ensure you are using a Firefox browser (which has looser restrictions than Chrome) and verify the extension's recent reviews. Video DownloadHelper is one powerful extension (for Chrome and Firefox) I used to use. It can let you download OnlyFans videos.
While free extensions like Video DownloadHelper were popular in the past, recent updates to OnlyFans' DRM (Digital Rights Management) have made them less effective in 2025.
⚠️ 2025 Update: Because of a stricter DRM rule, Video DownloadHelper can no longer download DRM videos. It means you need to ensure the creator doesn't turn on the "DRM" button in advance. Some functions fail on Chrome. Sometimes, you'll receive a warning like this (don't worry, the Firefox version is fine):
Here is how you can do it on your PC:
- Go to the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons, and search for the extension.
- Add it to Chrome by following the instructions
- Visit OnlyFans and play the video you wish to download.
- The extension will detect the video link. When it turns colorful, click the icon.
- Click "Download" and the video will be saved on your PC.
Download OnlyFans Purchases on a Mobile Device
Are you looking to find options to download OnlyFans purchases on Android or iPhone? There are plenty of methods that can be put to great use.
After a lot of research, we found a couple of the best methods that can help you download OnlyFans videos onto your mobile phone.
Rex
- Use built-in screen recording: DRM may cause a black screen.
- Use third-party “download” apps: Can be unstable and may expose your data; Make sure you're saving videos with the creator’s permission, and always prioritize privacy and account security.
On Android
If you are on Android, you can use a video downloader app. There are several tools that offer both an online download option and a standalone app. You can also use the built-in screen recorder on your device to download the video.
Due to stability issues with the downloaders and the unsafe nature of the downloaders, we recommend using the screen recorder option for better results.
On iOS
Compared to Android, iOS may not be as easy to help you download video titles from OnlyFans. The platform imposes several restrictions on downloads. Also, we did not find many safer apps for downloading OnlyFans videos. That is why we recommend using the screen record option.
Here is how you can use the option:
- Add Screen Recording to Control Center.
- Open the video in OnlyFans, start recording, then play it.
- Stop recording by tapping the top bar on your phone screen and save the clip.
Black Screen Alerting: Because of DRM technology, screen recording may capture a black screen on both iOS and Android. This indicates DRM is active and copying is blocked.
FAQs
Q1. Does screen recording OnlyFans cause a black screen?
A1. Yes. OnlyFans uses DRM protection that detects screen recorders and automatically turns the video player black (audio only). To avoid this, you cannot use standard recording tools. A specialized downloader or recorder is necessary to save the actual video file directly.
Q2. How to download videos from OnlyFans messages?
A2. Messages have no download button. Play in-app. If you have permission, consider using a dedicated tool to save videos from DM or screen record it.
Q3. Where can I find my purchased OnlyFans videos?
A3. Purchased content is stored in two places. Active messages are in your DMs, while archived or older purchases are automatically moved to the "Vault" tab in your profile. KeepStreams can verify and download videos directly from both your Message History and the Vault.
Q4. How do I download purchased OnlyFans content?
A4. There's no official download. With the creator’s permission, you may try screen recording, but DRM can block capture. A dedicated program that has a strict usage rule and is trusted by vendors is a good choice.
Q5. Can I download purchased content after my subscription expires?
A5. Technically yes. Once you purchase a PPV (Pay-Per-View) message, you have access to it even if you unsubscribe from the creator. However, creators can block blocked users. It is recommended to download these purchased videos and save the MP4 video files to your local drive. In this way, we won't be worried about losing access due to platform errors or account bans.
Q6. What's the best method to download OnlyFans videos?
A6. Since there is no official download button, the best alternative depends on your needs. The methods discussed before (screen recording and third-party tools like KeepStreams for OnlyFans) are both good options. However, remember, never share copies or use them for commercial purposes.
Final Thought
OnlyFans provides exclusive high-quality posts. However, it can be a little tricky to download the videos you purchase on it. Hope the tips I have shared above are handy and effective for you. There is no "absolutely best" method to download purchased videos on OnlyFans. The decision depends on our needs.
For a user who is building a personal offline library like me, a professional tool like KeepStreams for OnlyFans is worth trying. Check it out and find what it has on offer for you.
NOTE:
Many third-party tools exist, but I cannot guarantee their safety, legality, or long-term reliability. Using such tools may violate the Terms of Service and local law—especially when they claim to be able to remove DRM.
- Review the vendor's documentation and privacy policy carefully.
- Never share your account credentials with untrusted apps.
- Do not bypass DRM or distribute copies.
