Videoner browser extension: a Download button on the video page

The extension is out for Chrome, Yandex Browser, Edge and Opera. A Download button appears right on the video page, and Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Threads download with your sign-in.

If you often download videos on your computer, you can now do it without copying links. Meet the Videoner browser extension.

How it works

  • A "Download" button appears in the corner of a video or post page. Click it, pick a quality, and the file is saved to your "Downloads" folder.
  • The same popup opens from the Videoner icon in the browser toolbar.
  • Just like on the website, you can download audio only, and subtitles for YouTube.
  • You can close the popup right away: the download keeps going on its own.

The button appears only on the page of a specific video, not in the feed. The cross on it hides the button until the next video.

Downloading with your sign-in

The extension downloads Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Threads right in the browser — as you, on the platform. That means it can download private posts you can see in your account, as well as videos the platform wouldn't give to our server. The extension never asks for your password, and your sign-in never goes to the server.

If a platform wouldn't give a video to the bot or the website, they'll now suggest downloading it with the extension — and give you a link.

For other platforms, as well as other qualities and audio, the extension downloads through the Videoner server, just like the website and the bot.

How to install

The extension works in Chrome, Yandex Browser, Edge, Opera and other Chromium-based browsers — on a computer.

  1. Open the extension page and download the archive.
  2. Unzip it into a permanent folder — you'll get a videoner-extension folder.
  3. Open the extensions page: chrome://extensions (edge://extensions in Edge).
  4. Turn on "Developer mode".
  5. Click "Load unpacked" and choose the videoner-extension folder.

Pin the Videoner icon to the browser toolbar to keep it handy.

Extensions don't work on phones — use the videoner.download website or the @VideonerBot bot there.
