## What it does

Want to keep a product video, a tutorial clip or a background video from a website? **Chrome Video Grabber** scans the page and lists **every video file** it finds. Click **Download** to save it, or **Open** to watch it in its own tab.

 
 
- **One click:** click the toolbar icon and it scans the page you're on. 
- **Every video file:** video players, their sources, and video links written in the page code. 
- **All common formats:** MP4, WebM, OGG, MOV, M4V, MKV, AVI and FLV, each with a format badge. 
- **Download:** saves the video straight to your Downloads folder. 
- **Open:** plays the video in a new tab. 
- **Clear list:** file names and a count of videos found, each listed once. 
- **Only when you ask:** reads the page only when you click the icon. 
- **Private:** no account, no tracking; nothing leaves your browser. 
- **Tiny:** about 5 KB, nothing to set up.

## Setup

1. **Download & unzip it.** Unzip the file into a folder you'll keep; Chrome loads the extension from there.
2. **Turn on Developer mode.** Open chrome://extensions and switch on Developer mode (top right).
3. **Load it.** Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder.
4. **Pin it.** Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin Video Grabber, then click it on any page with a video.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does it work on YouTube, Netflix or other streaming sites?

No. Streaming sites send video in small pieces instead of one file, so there is no file to grab. It works on sites that use real video files (MP4, WebM…).

### Does it work in Edge or Brave?

Yes. Use the same steps at edge://extensions or brave://extensions.

### Why does it say "No videos found"?

The page has no video files, or it loads them in a way that hides the file (like streaming). Browser pages like chrome:// can't be scanned by any extension.

### I have version 1.0 — how do I update?

Unzip the new version over the same folder, then click the reload arrow on Video Grabber's card in chrome://extensions.

### What happens when I remove it?

Nothing is left behind. It saves no settings or data.
