Help with your download workflow.
Start with the ordinary path, then check the task details if a page needs HLS processing or a strong attempt.
Direct downloads and HLS/m3u8 processing remain free. An account is only needed for extension linking and Pro strong-attempt access. Please include the page type, browser version and visible error message when contacting support. Do not send passwords, cookies or private media URLs.
Quick start
- Open a page containing media you are authorized to save.
- Click the extension icon and choose direct download or HLS/m3u8 processing.
- If no media is detected, use the strong attempt only when the page is allowed and the content is yours or licensed.
- Check Chrome’s download list and the task status page.
Accounts and Pro
Sign in at the account page, generate a one-time linking code, and enter it in the extension. Direct downloads and HLS/m3u8 remain free. Pro applies only to strong attempts. Alipay payments are verified by the TabCove API before access is activated.
Common issues
The page has DRM or a private player
The extension may not be able to access or decode DRM-protected media, private streams or short-lived signed URLs.
HLS processing stops
Check that the playlist and segments remain accessible in the current session. Some playlists require a login or expire quickly.
