Video Downloader for Mac
AVS Download Manager detects and downloads videos from the pages you browse — social media posts, embedded players and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) / Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) streams that a browser cannot save as a normal file. All natively on macOS, all free.
Where you can download videos from
AVS supports YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Reddit, Pinterest, Dailymotion, Twitch, SoundCloud and many more sites via its extractor engine — plus any direct video link and generic HLS/m3u8 or DASH streams.
Streams the browser can't save
Many sites deliver video as segmented HLS or DASH streams rather than a single file. Your browser can play them but can't download them. AVS captures these streams, downloads all segments at full speed and merges them into a normal video file you can keep.
Capture from your browser
With the AVS extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave, downloadable media on the page is detected automatically and sent to the Mac app with one click. No copying URLs around — though pasting a link into AVS works too.
