I download lectures before travel days and the progress window keeps me updated. Every video saves with the course name so review sessions are painless.

Halfway through a Coursera specialization and the course is being retired next month. Or the Coursera Plus subscription is about to lapse with lectures still left to review. Either way, the knowledge you were counting on is about to vanish. This extension saves any Coursera lecture as a standard MP4 file before that happens. Open the lecture, click the extension icon or right-click, pick your preferred resolution, and the video downloads right to your computer. It works across courses, specializations, and guided projects, covering anything with a video player on Coursera. The extension grabs the best available quality and shows real-time progress with speed and time remaining so you know exactly when it will finish. Everything happens locally in your browser using your existing Coursera login. No credentials are stored, no data leaves your machine, and no third-party services are involved. Build your offline lecture library while you still have access. Try 3 free downloads to start, no credit card needed.



Saves finished lecture MP4s to your downloads folder and keeps the progress interface in sync while each file completes.
Stores the licence key and preferred quality so the extension stays activated and remembers your settings between sessions.
Detects Coursera lecture players on the tab you are viewing and enables inline controls for quick downloads.
Allows downloads to continue if you switch between course tabs and restores the status window when you return.
Extracts video stream URLs from Coursera’s player, including HLS and DASH manifests, so the downloader can retrieve the correct files.
Sends completion and error alerts so you know when a lecture is ready without watching the tab.
Adds a right-click “Download with Coursera Downloader” option for faster access while browsing lectures.
Merges HLS/DASH segments into a single MP4 in a hidden context to keep the browser responsive during conversion.
Restricts privileged access to coursera.org and its media subdomains, ensuring the extension only runs where it is needed.
Open the lecture, click the Coursera Downloader icon, pick your preferred resolution, and keep the tab open while the progress bar completes. The MP4 will save with the course and lecture name.
Downloads are launched one lecture at a time. There’s no batch export, but you can queue multiple lessons manually.
No. The extension focuses on video and audio. Download captions or transcripts separately from the course materials if you need them.
Builds are available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Safari and mobile browsers aren’t supported.
No. The downloader works within your active Coursera session and only captures videos you’re legitimately enrolled in or can preview.
Scripting reads the player to enumerate stream URLs, and the offscreen context stitches HLS/DASH segments into a single MP4 without freezing your browser.
Yes. All detection and conversion happen locally. Only licence verification touches remote servers, and no watch history or credentials are stored.

HLS and DASH always caused trouble with other tools. This pulls 1080p files reliably and keeps quality intact.

I’m working through a specialization and wanted permanent copies. Downloads stay private, and I can review tough lectures without buffering.
