Categories / Download sites / downloadhelper
Thirty seconds after the downloadhelper homepage loaded on our test machine, one of us had already spotted the install button, and the other two were arguing over whether Chrome or Firefox deserved the honor. That tells you most of the story. This isn't a tube, and it doesn't host a single clip. It's a free browser extension with one job: turning the porn you stream into porn you keep.

10Who is it for? Anyone who has watched a favorite scene vanish in a takedown and quietly sworn revenge at the screen. You don't sign up on every tube or paste links into random converter pages full of mystery buttons. You get one download tool that sits in your toolbar and works across the sites you already visit. Our data tags it as best for free browsing, and that fits, because you surf wherever you like while the extension rides shotgun without asking for a cent.
The heads-ups are small. The Chrome build won't touch YouTube, which our crew mourned for roughly four seconds, and a few pages on the site look like nobody has dusted them in a while. Neither slowed down our spank bank expansion one bit.
Since downloadhelper has no library of its own, its 'content' is the list of sites it can pull from, and that list is fat. Our notes put it at well over 400 adult sites, more tubes than any of us could rub one out to in a year of dedicated weekends. The big names are all there: Pornhub, xHamster, RedTube and PornHD. Tumblr made the cut too, for those of you whose taste lives in the stranger corners of the reblog machine.
So if you came here wondering how to download porn from tube sites without juggling five logins, this is the honest answer. Niches don't matter to the extension at all. Amateur, MILF, 18+ teen or lesbian, if a supported site plays it in your browser, the icon treats it the same way. Our tester who hoards vintage compilations was thrilled, and the one who watches the same three clips on loop was happy too, just faster.
Calling it a way to download any video from any porn website is a slight stretch, since 'supported' is the operative word. Still, the list is long enough that we stopped checking after a while and just assumed yes.
Here's the part that trips people up. The site has a Video Sites tab listing everything the extension supports, but the porn is hidden on your first visit, presumably so nobody's coworker gets a surprise over their shoulder. Switch the filter from Show all sites to Show adult sites and the whole naughty roster appears.
Judging by searches like 'whee is the downloader herlper that used to give adult web site links' and 'porn vido downloader extension', plenty of you are hunting for this exact list with one hand on the keyboard, and good news, it's still there behind that toggle. Sorting is generous for what is basically a directory page. You can order the list by default, popularity, recency, rating, name or interest, and our crew argued for a solid ten minutes about what 'interest' was supposed to mean.
Popularity is the move if you want to see where everyone else is grabbing from. Recency surfaces newer additions. That's handy for spotting tubes you didn't even know existed.
The extension can't make a grainy upload look better, and it doesn't pretend to. What it does is show the resolutions a page offers right in its drop-down. If a tube serves an HD version, you grab that instead of the potato cut.
We can't promise 4K or VR everywhere, because that depends on the source, not the tool. On the clips we cared about, picking the biggest file was the obvious call. One of us learned the hard way that a drive full of top resolution wank material fills up a lot faster than expected.
This section works differently, because downloadhelper has no player to speak of. You watch on the tube itself, ads and all, and the extension just hangs out in your toolbar until you click it. We don't have measured ad or popup numbers for it from our test, so we're not inventing any.
What matters is how the icon behaves. Hit it on a page with a video playing and a drop-down lists what it found, sometimes including extra clips on the page you scrolled past while the main event had your full attention. That bonus catch is weirdly addictive. One of us went in for a single scene and came out with three.
Because it lets you skip third-party converter pages, you also skip the redirect roulette those pages love. Our desktops felt noticeably calmer for it.
Installing takes one button press, and our notes show no account wall between you and your first download. That's the big win over tubes that only let you save after you register or pay up. No passwords to forget, no confirmation emails landing in the wrong inbox.
Wondering how to download porn video files with it? The routine is three steps. Open the clip, click the downloadhelper icon, then tap the little download arrow next to the version you want. The file lands on your computer and stays there, whatever happens to the upload later.
That last bit is the real pitch. Videos disappear from tubes all the time, and a local copy is the only spank bank insurance that never lapses.
It isn't stuffed with gimmicks, and we liked that. Beyond the core grab-and-save trick, there's a settings panel you can fiddle with until the extension behaves exactly how you want. Our tidiest tester spent longer in there than in actual porn, which says more about him than about the tool.
The other quiet feature is browser choice. It runs on both Firefox and Chrome, so the crew's long-running browser war ended in a truce. As a porn video downloader extension it covers what matters: detection, resolution choice, a clean download button and a supported list you can actually browse.
If you've been hunting for the best chrome extension for downloading videos from adult sites, this one deserves a spot on the shortlist, YouTube caveat aside. Firefox fans get the same toy, just with more smugness.
Our notes describe downloadhelper as completely free, with no cap on how much you use it. We didn't find prices or paid plans in our data, so we can't tell you about any premium tier, and we're not going to guess.
That makes it a free video downloader that lets you download from any adult site on its list, which is a pretty silly deal. One of us kept waiting for a paywall to jump out of a closet. It never showed up.
There's no app in our notes, and the extension is built for Chrome and Firefox on the desktop. We don't have data on phone browsers, so we'd treat this as a computer tool. Grab your clips on the laptop, then copy them to your phone if you want pocket-sized fap material for the road.
Honestly, that split works fine. Picking a resolution on a big screen beats squinting at tiny buttons with one hand busy.
Straight talk: we don't have security measurements for downloadhelper from this round, so this is the crew's read, not a lab report. The site looked tidy apart from those few stale pages, and the tool did what it promised every time we poked it. Our main safety argument is about what you avoid, namely pasting links into random online grabbers that may not treat your clicks kindly.
Install it through the official site so you know you're getting the real thing. Age checks happen on the tubes themselves, not in the extension, and we have no info on regional blocks for the tool. Keep your downloads for personal use and respect the terms of the sites and creators you pull from.
We don't track rivals with numbers for this one, so here's the matchup in plain terms. Online paste-a-link downloaders win on zero installation, but you pay with extra tabs, redirect nonsense and a fresh copy-paste for every clip. downloadhelper wins on convenience, because it lives where you already watch.
Native download buttons on tubes win on official support, though many want an account or a paid tier first. Standalone software for downloading porn can be powerful, yet it's one more program to babysit. For most of our crew the extension hit the sweet spot, and if you're after the most reliable porn video downloader you can get for nothing, it's a strong contender in our book.
Our Pornhub regular went further and called it the best pornhub video downloader he's tried, mostly because he never has to leave the page. The rest of us didn't argue, which is rare.
If a toolbar extension isn't your style, you've got options. Tubes with built-in download buttons are the obvious first stop, especially if you already pay for premium on one. Online link grabbers work in a pinch on a borrowed machine where you can't install anything.
Want a proper download manager for adult sites with queues and batch grabs? A standalone app might suit you better. Our downloadhelper alternatives page rounds up the options we track, so peek there before you commit. Everyone else can keep clicking that little icon and watch the collection grow.
Yes. Our notes describe it as completely free with no usage cap, and we found no prices anywhere in our data. You install it in Chrome or Firefox, open a clip on a supported site, click the icon and save. The only cost our crew noticed was hard drive space, which vanishes suspiciously fast.
Mostly, yes, by our crew's read, though we didn't run security measurements on it this time. Getting it from the official site is the smart move. The bigger win is skipping random paste-a-link converter pages, which tend to come loaded with redirects and buttons that lead who knows where.
Because the Chrome version doesn't support YouTube downloads, according to our notes. Porn sites aren't affected by that limit. If a clip on an adult site won't show up, check that the site is on the Video Sites list with the adult filter switched on, and click the icon while the video is actually playing.
No. Nothing in our data points to a mobile app, since it's a desktop extension for Chrome and Firefox. Our workaround is simple: download clips on your computer, then copy them to your phone. You get the full resolution menu on a proper screen and still carry your favorites everywhere.
No premium tier shows up in our data, so we can't confirm one exists or quote any price. What we can say is that the free extension covered everything our crew needed: spotting videos, choosing resolutions and saving files from well over 400 supported adult sites without a single payment prompt.
Three kinds. Built-in download buttons on tubes work if you have an account or premium there. Online link grabbers suit a machine where you can't install anything. Standalone desktop downloaders fit heavy hoarders who want queues and batches. Our alternatives page lists the options we track, so start there.
