Regional domains used to break other tools, but this workflow keeps detection stable and MP4 output clean.

Redtube Video Downloader captures scenes from redtube.com, regional sites, and embedded players, converting them into MP4 files you can watch offline. It detects every available resolution, handles HLS streams behind the page, and keeps downloads moving even when you minimise the tab. Choose the quality you want, let the extension pull the stream segments, and it merges them in the background while you browse. The result is a clean MP4 saved locally with no ads, buffering, or tracking.

Saves the finished MP4 into your downloads folder and keeps progress tracking in sync for each Redtube video.
Stores licence activation, preferred quality, and retry preferences locally so the extension stays ready between sessions.
Detects when a Redtube player is active on the current tab and injects the download controls there.
Allows downloads to continue when you refresh or open new tabs and restores the status view when you return.
Extracts stream manifests, quality variants, and metadata from the player so the downloader can fetch the correct files.
Sends completion and error alerts so you know when a video finishes downloading without monitoring the page.
Adds a right-click “Download with Redtube Video Downloader” shortcut for quick saves directly from the video player.
Merges HLS segments into MP4 files in the background, keeping the tab responsive during conversion.
Grants access to redtube.com, embed.redtube.com, and regional domains so the extension only activates on supported sites.
Open a RedTube video page, press play, then click the in-player button, extension popup action, or right-click context-menu item. Choose your quality and the extension saves the video as MP4.
The extension lists available variants from sources object data, mediaDefinitions, nested media definitions, and M3U8 playlists. Formats are sorted highest first, with MP4 preferred when available.
Downloads are saved as standard MP4 files. Direct MP4 sources are saved directly, while HLS sources are converted to MP4 in-browser.
Files are auto-saved to a RedTube subfolder in your browser's default Downloads directory.
Yes. The extension supports embed.redtube.com URLs and detects supported formats there using the same workflow.
Yes. Detection supports RedTube domain variants where the same player and media structures are available.
After secure email OTP verification, you get 3 free downloads per device. Unlimited usage requires the paid subscription.
Press play first so stream sources are exposed. If detection still fails, refresh the page and retry after the player fully loads.
Desktop builds are available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Whale, and Yandex on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Permissions such as downloads, activeTab, scripting, tabs, contextMenus, notifications, and offscreen are used to detect formats, inject controls, convert HLS streams, and save MP4 files reliably.
Yes. Detection, extraction, conversion, and file writing run locally in your browser. Media files are not uploaded to third-party servers.

Nested media and HLS streams are handled consistently, and progress tracking is clear on long downloads.

Everything stays local and saves into the right folder automatically, which makes archive management easier.
