How to Download OnlyFans Videos to PC/Mac/iPhone/Android

“Can you download OnlyFans videos?”

OnlyFans doesn’t provide a built-in option to download videos for offline viewing. Whether you want to save videos you have permission to keep or back up your own uploads, you may be wondering how to save OnlyFans video content to your PC, Mac, iPhone, or Android for easier access. In this guide, I’ve reviewed 7 practical methods to help you. The quick comparison below gives you an overview of what each method is best suited for before you follow the detailed steps.

How to Download Videos from OnlyFans to Your Computer (Mac/Windows/Linux)

Downloading OnlyFans videos to a computer gives you more flexibility when choosing a saving method. I tested the options below in August 2026, covering supported video types, output quality, download performance, and practical limitations.

Use Firefox’s Built-in Save Option (Mac/Windows/Linux)

Firefox offers a nifty way to download OnlyFans videos, typically public preview posts or free promotional clips, with nothing extra involved. That means, simply go to the video you want to download in Firefox, hold Shift, and right-click. In the context menu, you’ll find the option to save the video.

If you are trying to save OnlyFans videos from a paid subscription feed, you will need to use a professional OnlyFans downloader.

Why Use It

• Download supported OnlyFans videos to MP4.
• No installation, extensions, or paid tools required.
• Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux through Firefox.
• Retains the video’s original resolution as served by the site (my tested videos were available at up to 1080p).

Limitations

• In my August 2026 tests, this method worked on non‑DRM videos but consistently failed for the Widevine-protected videos I tested.
• Firefox was the only browser I tested that exposed the “Save Video As…” option for supported OnlyFans videos. Chrome and Edge did not expose the same option.

Steps to Save an OnlyFans Video with Firefox

Step 1. Visit the OnlyFans website on Firefox and log in to your account. Then, locate the accessible video you want to download and play it.

Step 2. Hold “Shift” on your keyboard and then right-click on the video.

Step 3. Hit “Save Video As…”. Select an output folder and select “Save” on the pop-up window.

Use Professional OnlyFans Downloader(Mac/Windows)

If you need to download OnlyFans videos with DRM protection that you are authorized to access for offline viewing, a dedicated desktop downloader can be safer and more convenient than browser-based methods. TuneFab VideOne OnlyFans Downloader works with its built-in OnlyFans browser to process video streams and export supported OnlyFans videos to MP4, MKV, and MOV formats on Windows and macOS.

Why Use It

• Downloading OnlyFans videos from messages, subscription feeds, PPV unlocks, and purchases was supported based on my tests.
• Save OnlyFans videos in original resolution (tested up to Full HD 1080p).
• Allow batch downloading of multiple videos or entire playlists at once.
• Achieve a high success rate among my testing methods. It worked 5 out of 5 times without interruptions or errors.

Limitations

• It requires installing desktop software.
• The 10-day trial version limits 3 full OnlyFans video downloads per day. 

Below is the guide on how to download videos from OnlyFans on PC and Mac using TuneFab VideOne.

Step 1: Log in to Your OnlyFans Account in TuneFab VideOne

Install and launch the software on your Windows or macOS computer. Within the built-in OnlyFans website, sign in to your account. Use the same account that has legitimate access to the video you want to save.

Step 2: Find the Video You Want to Download

Use the built-in search engine to find the video you wish to download. Then click on the download button at the bottom right.

Note. If the content is not available to your account, it may not appear downloadable.

Step 3: Choose the Download Format and Quality

Select the preferred video format (MP4, MKV, or MOV) in the pop-up window. You can also choose the available video quality, with support for up to 1080p when that quality is provided by the source.

Step 4: Start the Download

Select the video and click the Download button to start downloading the OnlyFans video. Once completed, you can access the downloaded file in the “Downloaded” section.

Use Browser Extension (Mac/Windows/Linux)

If you prefer not to download third-party software, you can also use a browser extension like Video Downloader Plus to download OnlyFans videos from the website. This free and easy-to-use extension can detect common video streams on the page while you browse, helping you download videos from popular platforms like OnlyFans.

Why Use It

• Available on Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox, with no need for additional desktop software. 
• Works for public feed posts and some playable videos you have access to.
• Save OnlyFans videos as MP4 files.

Limitations

• Cannot download DRM‑protected content from OnlyFans.
• Video quality was limited to 720p in my free tier tests. Higher resolutions (1080p, 4K) require a premium subscription.
• Download up to 5 videos from OnlyFans for free per day.
• The output filename is “OnlyFans.mp4” only.

Below is the guide on how to save videos from OnlyFans on Chrome.

Step 1: Install Video Downloader Plus from the official Chrome Web Store and add it to your browser.

Note. On Firefox, the equivalent is called SaveMate – Video Downloader, and the workflow is basically the same.

Step 2: Open OnlyFans, log in to your account, and navigate to the creator’s page from which you want to download the video. Play the video first so that the extension can detect the media stream.

Step 3: Click the Video Downloader Plus icon in the browser toolbar. It should light up when a video is detected. Since it doesn’t show any resolution settings, you have to judge by the file size. Usually, a bigger file size means better video quality.

Step 4: Choose an available option and save the video to your computer.

Use Developer Tools and yt-dlp (Mac/Windows/Linux)

For technically experienced users, browser Developer Tools combined with yt-dlp, a command-line tool, also provides a viable option to save OnlyFans videos to MP4 for free. This method works by capturing the direct video URL from your browser’s network requests and passing it to yt‑dlp for download.

Why Use It

• The resulting file can retain the quality made available by the accessible media resource.
• Free and open source, with an active community.

Limitations

• Only worked for public videos based on my tests in August 2026.
• Steep learning curve, requiring basic command-line skills and yt-dlp installation.
• The captured URL is temporary. Once it expires, a 403/AccessDenied error will occur.
• Encrypted streams are not accessible via this method.

Before starting to use this method, make sure you have installed yt-dlp and ffmpeg from the official GitHub page.

Step 1. Navigate to the OnlyFans profile containing the target video.

Step 2. Right‑click anywhere on the page and select “Inspect” > “Network”. Then, enable “Preserve log”.

Step 3. Play the video. Filter the network requests by typing mp4 in the filter bar. Then, copy the Request URL.

Step 4. Open your terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on macOS/Linux). Run the following command to download the video from OnlyFans using yt-dlp.

How to Download OnlyFans Videos on Mobile (iPhone/Android)

During my hands-on testing on iPhone 16, I realized that downloading OnlyFans videos on a phone is more complicated than doing so on a computer. This is largely because iOS and Android restrict how apps and browsers can access video streams. Currently, using third-party apps and screen recording are the two popular workarounds. I evaluated both methods, and the findings are detailed below.

Download with StreamFork via Expo Go

During my hands-on testing on iPhone 16, I realized that downloading OnlyFans videos on a phone is more complicated than doing so on a computer. This is largely because iOS and Android restrict how apps and browsers can access video streams. Currently, using third-party apps and screen recording are the two popular workarounds. I evaluated both methods, and the findings are detailed below.

Why Use It

• One of the few tested solutions that supports processing DRM videos from OnlyFans and Fansly.
• StreamFork added batch downloading in v3.5, while some filtering and bulk features are limited to Professional and Unlimited plans.
• Mobile-first and does not require a browser extension or desktop tool.
• Goes directly through the account for better compatibility.

Limitations

• Requires installing Expo Go to run StreamFork on iPhone.
• The free version only supports downloading OnlyFans videos from public posts at up to 720p. Higher resolutions and DRM-protected videos require a subscription.
• The app was not always stable. In some cases, it took several minutes for OnlyFans to launch successfully through Expo Go.
• The app is not available on the App Store or Google Play Store, which makes its security and legitimacy more difficult to independently verify.
• During testing, I repeatedly failed to sign in to my OnlyFans account with Google. I had to reconnect StreamFork and Expo Go several times before the login finally worked.

Below is how to download OnlyFans videos on iPhone or Android with StreamFork

Step 1. Get StreamFork Ready on iPhone/Android

For iPhone:

1. Download the Expo Go app from the App Store.
2. Tap the StreamFork link to open StreamFork on Expo Go.

For Android: Get the StreamFork APK from the official website. Then, install and open it.

Step 2. Select “Onlyfans” on the screen and sign in with your account.

Step 3. Go to whichever video you want to download. StreamFork detects downloadable videos automatically.

Step 4. Select a preferred video option and tap on the download icon. Then, the video is saved in MP4 format with your quality settings.

Use Built-in Screen Recording Feature

For most users, screen recording is the simplest option to save an OnlyFans video on iPhone or Android without installing a dedicated downloader. It is suitable for videos that can be played normally on your device and are not blocked from screen capture.

Why Use It

• The built-in screen recording feature, with no additional OnlyFans downloader app.
• Recorded videos are automatically saved to iPhone Photos or Android Gallery.
• Rip OnlyFans videos as MOV files (iOS) or MP4 files (Android).

Limitations

• DRM-protected content from paid subscriptions, PPV, or private messages typically records as a black screen.
• Real-time recording is time-consuming.
• While I was recording, it was inevitable to avoid interruptions from notifications, unexpected incoming calls, and other on-screen activity.
• According to actual testing results, the final video quality depends entirely on the playback resolution during recording, so you cannot get the platform’s highest original streaming quality.

Here I use an iPhone 16 with iOS 26.6 as an example to save an OnlyFans video via screen recording.

Step 1: Enable Screen Recording.

• Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen to open “Control Center”.
• Tap on the “+” icon at the upper left. Then choose “Add a control” to add the Screen Recording function to the quick control list.

Step 2: Open the OnlyFans Video.

Open Safari on your iPhone and go to the OnlyFans website. Log in with your account and navigate to the video you want to save.

Step 3: Start Screen Recording

Open the Control Center and tap the Screen Recording button. Then, play the video you want to record.

Step 4: Stop Recording and Save

Once the video finishes, tap the red recording button at the top of the screen, then tap Stop.

How to Download Videos from OnlyFans Online

Many of you may be wondering if it is possible to download OnlyFans videos online. To figure it out, I’ve tried several so-called workable tools and found out that most of them redirect to a page for downloading desktop software or an extension. In my current testing, Downer OnlyFans Video Downloader is a viable option, but it still may be different from common online video downloaders.

Why Use It

• It can be convenient when you only need to save a public OnlyFans video in MP4 occasionally.
• The tool runs in a web browser, so you do not need to install a dedicated downloader.
• In my testing, OnlyFans videos downloaded successfully at up to 1080p resolution.

Limitation

• Does not work with private or DRM-protected content
• Does not support batch downloading of multiple videos.
• The download process involves the video’s CDN URL.
• Submitting the CDN URL to a third-party online service may raise privacy considerations.

FAQs About OnlyFans Video Download

Does OnlyFans Know If You Download a Video?

There is no clear official statement confirming whether OnlyFans detects or notifies creators when a user saves a video. I also did not find user reports that provide a reliable answer.

Is Downloading OnlyFans Content Illegal?

Downloading OnlyFans videos is not automatically illegal, but it must comply with the creator’s rights, OnlyFans’ Terms of Service, and local laws. Only save videos that the creator has authorized you to download or that you have the necessary rights to keep. For personal storage, do not share, redistribute, sell, or re-upload the videos without the creator’s permission.

Is It Safe and Private to Download OnlyFans Videos?

Yes, but the method matters.

If you are doing so with reliable software or else via apps like TuneFab VideOne or secure browser extensions for downloading OnlyFans videos for personal use, it is generally safe. Of course, maintain your suspicion of risks from untrustworthy free ones, including malware, phishing attacks, or data leaks. Never share your OnlyFans credentials with any untrusted source, and stay away from tools that appear suspicious or begin requesting permissions with no need for them.

Why Does Screen Recording Sometimes Fail When Capturing OnlyFans Videos?

Screen recording can fail for several reasons, but in most cases, it is because of DRM protection.

Most OnlyFans videos, particularly those of exclusive or paid content, are DRM-protected. This technology prevents users from duplicating, recording, or distributing copyrighted content. So when you screen-record a DRM-protected video, you may end up with a black screen, no sound at all, or distorted visuals.

Can You Download OnlyFans Videos Without a Subscription?

Well, you are not allowed to legally access paid content without subscribing.

OnlyFans is subscription-based, with videos being paid for with a good reason. There are some methods and tools (if you want to call them that) that claim to allow you to download videos without being subscribed to any of these that are either illegal or unethical, or simply a scam. This violates the rights attached to the content by the creators, and it may very well endanger your device and your personal information.

Conclusion: Which Method Should You Choose?

Deciding how to download OnlyFans videos on different devices can be challenging. Based on my hands-on testing, the right choice depends mainly on the type of video you are authorized to save and your device.

For publicly accessible videos, Firefox’s built-in save option, browser extensions, yt-dlp with browser developer tools, online downloaders, and mobile screen recording are viable options, depending on your needs. If you want to handle supported videos from subscription feeds, purchases, and private messages, desktop downloaders such as TuneFab VideOne OnlyFans Downloader and mobile tools such as StreamFork may be alternatives to consider.
