Can you download on Hulu?

Quick Answer: You can download movies and shows on Hulu using a supported device. However, not all content is downloadable, and depending on the device you are using, different methods may be required.

Let’s delve into the details.

Can you download shows and movies on Hulu?

Subscribers with Hulu (No Ads) plans can download a large number of shows and movies from the Hulu streaming library and watch them offline on supported mobile devices, though there may be geographical or device restrictions. Some eligible bundle subscribers or associated standalone Disney+ subscribers can also download specific Hulu content on the Disney+ app or website.

Downloadable content

Videos with a Download icon are downloadable. TV shows and movies from Premium Add-ons and the additional on-demand content that comes with a Live TV subscription are not downloadable and are not part of the Hulu streaming library.

Supported mobile devices

• iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch running iOS 15.3 and later
• Android phones and tablets running Android 7.1 or higher
• Amazon File Tablets running Fire OS 6 or higher

You can follow the steps below to download Hulu shows or movies via a Wi-Fi network or cellular data:

1. Go to Menu > Downloads > See What’s Downloadable.
2. Find the content you want to download.
3. For movies, go to the Details page and click the Download icon. For shows, tap the Download button next to the episode you want to download to save the video to your mobile device.

Can you download Hulu shows on a Mac?

Hulu’s official download option is unavailable on Windows or macOS, preventing official downloads of episodes and movies on computers. However, third-party downloader tools, such as MovPilot Hulu Video Downloader, StreamFab, and VidiCable, allow you to save Hulu TV shows and movies as MP4/MKV files on your Mac or PC, even with ad-supported plans. These tools may violate Hulu’s Terms of Service, risking account suspension.

In short, if you want to download Hulu content on a computer, using third-party downloader software enables this, though you may encounter issues due to licensing, DRM restrictions, or software limitations.
