Note: Fandango at Home still keeps official downloads locked to iOS and Android, while desktop and TV apps stay stream-only. The most reliable offline setup is to download them in the official mobile app or third-party downloaders such as KeepStreams. Always watch for the download icon and rental windows before paying.
I love Fandango at Home—until the Wi‑Fi cuts out just as the villain reveals their master plan. After the third cliff‑hanger in as many trips, I decided to crack the code on downloading my Fandango at Home (the service most of us still call Vudu) purchases.
Over the past few years, I tested official Fandango at Home downloads, Movies Anywhere workarounds, and various third-party tools. Below is everything I've learned, updated for 2026. It includes how I personally download Vudu movies on PC.

What Is Fandango at Home (Vudu)?
Note: Vudu was rebranded to Fandango at Home in 2024, but your account, purchases, and Movies Anywhere connections stay the same.
The most welcome functionality in Vudu must be the services of VOD rentals and digital purchases. You can rent and buy many digital TV series and movies here, in super high quality up to 4K, from the latest trending shows to the classic movies.
Vudu offers a mix of paid and free content. You can watch some movies and TV shows on Vudu without paying anything. However, these free titles usually have ads.
Think of it as a digital video locker with one of the biggest 4K UHD catalogues in the States—well over 200,000 titles. Buy or rent on Vudu's site, and many movies automatically sync to Movies Anywhere, letting me hop between Apple TV, Prime Video, and YouTube without buying twice.
Handy, but none of those pathways guarantee offline playback on a laptop, which is where my headache began.
Official Ways to Download Movies from Vudu
Note: As of 2025, downloads are mainly supported on the iOS and Android apps. Desktop PCs, laptops, smart TVs, and most streaming sticks only support streaming, not official downloads.
With the Vudu app, you can download your Vudu rentals and purchased content. Whether you're traveling or in an area with limited internet access, you can ensure uninterrupted entertainment.
Based on the Vudu rules, you are not allowed to download the free-to-watch titles in the Vudu app. And there is a special note for the rental downloads: You can only watch the downloaded rentals on one device through the app.
Now, let's have a close look at the official methods to download Vudu videos on mobile devices and laptops.
Download Vudu Movies on Android and iOS
Note: Please note that in-app digital purchases are not supported on iOS devices, so you need to buy the movie on another device in advance if you want to enjoy the purchased/rented titles on your iOS device.
Whether you're an Android user or an iOS enthusiast, you can follow the following simple instructions to download a video from Vudu on your mobile device. Let's explore the process for each OS.
- Install the Vudu app on your device.
- Log in to your account within the app.
- Purchase the movie in your preferred quality.
- Access My Vudu to find the purchased movie.
- Click the Download button and select your preferred resolution.
We're only allowed to watch downloaded shows offline on up to 8 devices, and the highest quality for offline viewing is only 1080p (Yes, you're forbidden to download 4K titles.)
On Windows Store App or Web (Status in 2025)
Note: On Windows, Fandango at Home is now effectively a streaming-only experience: you can install the Microsoft Store app or simply use a web browser (athome.fandango.com) to watch your library online, but offline downloads on PC are no longer supported by the official service.
Historically, on Windows 10 and Windows 11 you could install the Vudu (now Fandango at Home) app from the Microsoft Store and download your purchased titles for offline viewing on a PC.
When this feature still existed, the steps were:
- Open the Microsoft Store on Windows 11/10.
- Search for Vudu (Fandango at Home) in the Microsoft Store.
- Click the download button to install the Vudu app on your system.
- Open the app and sign in using your Vudu (Fandango at Home) account credentials.
- Browse your purchased movies or TV shows and select the content you wish to download.
- On the movie's page, click the Download button to start downloading.
- The file was saved to your C: drive by default and appeared under the Finished (or Downloads) section in the app.
However, according to Fandango at Home's official support documentation updated in March 2024, the download feature in the Windows 10 app has been removed and is no longer available. The current Windows app (from the Microsoft Store) only supports streaming. You will no longer see a working Download button for newly purchased titles, and previously downloaded files are no longer accessible inside the app.
Fandango at Home now officially supports offline downloads only on its mobile apps (iOS and Android). If you need offline viewing, you must download your movies or TV shows on a phone or tablet using the Fandango at Home app, then watch them there.
Older versions of the Windows app used to offer a setting to change the download location (for example from the C: drive to another drive or SD card), and some users even relied on file system tricks like symbolic links (mklink) to move the download folder. Because the Windows app no longer downloads content at all, these options and workarounds are effectively obsolete today.
Note: Even on supported devices, some titles (for example certain Disney or Movies Anywhere titles) may only be available to download or play in Standard Definition (SD) even if they were originally sold as HDX/4K.
This is usually due to studio licensing and DRM restrictions: in some cases Fandango at Home (Vudu) only has the rights to deliver SD on specific devices or through certain services, so the downloaded/offline copy will be capped at SD resolution.
Unfortunately, on macOS and Linux operating systems, Vudu (Fandango at Home) does not offer a native download option. If you want a purely first‑party solution on a MacBook, you're out of luck.
Plus, you can only download videos from Vudu through the app. Browsers like Chrome, Edge, or Safari do not support downloading. But one good thing about online streaming is that you can enjoy videos up to 4K.
My Personal Word-Arounds to Download Vudu Movies
Downloading Vudu movies lets you watch your favorite shows offline and provides incomparable convenience. Here's how to do it on Windows PC and Mac.
Movies Anywhere Sync + iTunes
If the film carries the Movies Anywhere badge, I connect my accounts, open the Apple TV (iTunes) desktop app, and download from there. It's still capped at HD, but it's 100 % legal and Mac‑friendly.
KeepStreams Downloader (My Daily Driver)
A third-party tool can also solve the problem. After testing half a dozen Vudu rippers, I settled on KeepStreams for Fandango at Home. Here are some top features of KeepStreams:
Not only Vudu, KeepStreams also supports downloading videos from 3,000+ streaming services, the quality can be up to 4K UHD.
Sometimes when I failed to download videos from Vudu, I'll try to get access to the Vudu service through Peacock, and download videos from Peaock. Just to find the Peacock icon in the VIP Services in KeepStreams should work.

Here's how to download Vudu movies using KeepStreams for Fandango at Home:
- Download and install KeepStreams.
- Launch KeepStreams and choose Fandango at Home.
- Sign in with my Vudu credentials inside the built‑in browser.
- Play or open a movie page. KeepStreams detects the stream automatically.
- Select 1080p, preferred audio, and subtitles.
- Click Download Now.
- When it finishes, navigate to the "Downloaded" section to check all saved videos. Click the folder icon to quickly open the local folder.
Screen Recording (Last Resort)
I once captured a 2‑hour drama with OBS Studio. It worked, but recording in real time, encoding, and trimming ads is a slog—plus the legal gray zone makes me jittery. I only do this when no other option exists.
Legal reminder:
- Basic rules: Bypassing DRM may violate copyright law. Use downloads strictly for personal, non‑commercial viewing.
- Platform shifts: Microsoft recently ended new movie/TV sales in its Store.
- Personal use only: Even DRM‑free files cannot be resold or screened publicly.
