How to install (2 minutes)

1
Download & unzip

Click the download button above, then unzip the file. You'll get a folder called vidsnag-extension. Keep this folder somewhere permanent (don't delete it — the browser reads the extension from here).

2
Open the Extensions page

Copy this into your browser's address bar and press Enter:

chrome://extensions

On Edge use edge://extensions, on Brave brave://extensions.

3
Turn on Developer mode

Flip the Developer mode toggle in the top-right corner of that page.

4
Load the extension

Click Load unpacked, then select the vidsnag-extension folder you unzipped in step 1.

5
Pin it & go

Click the puzzle-piece icon in your toolbar and pin VidSnag. Now on any supported page, click the icon → pick a format → Download.

Good to know
  • The extension only reads the URL of the active tab when you click its icon — the narrowest permission Chrome offers. It doesn't track browsing or run in the background.
  • Because it's installed directly (not via a store), your browser may show a "Disable developer-mode extensions" reminder on startup — that's normal for self-installed extensions. Just dismiss it.
  • No auto-update: when we ship a new version, come back here and re-download.
  • Prefer no install at all? Everything works on vidsnag.com directly — just paste a link.
