Frequently asked questions
What websites does SnagV work on?
SnagV works on any website that plays video. It detects MP4, WebM, FLV, MOV, and HLS/m3u8 streams automatically. This includes most video hosting platforms, news sites, educational sites, and more.
Can SnagV download HLS/m3u8 streams?
Yes! SnagV is one of the few extensions that supports HLS stream downloads. It downloads all segments in parallel using multiple threads, then automatically converts them to a standard MP4 file.
Does SnagV send my data to any server?
No. SnagV is fully self-contained. Video detection, downloading, and format conversion all happen locally in your browser. We collect zero data.
Is SnagV free?
Yes, completely free with no premium tier, no ads, and no usage limits.
What languages does SnagV support?
English, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and French. The extension automatically matches your browser language.
Does SnagV work on Firefox, Safari, or Edge?
Currently Chrome only. Edge support (Chromium-based) is planned for a future release.
Can I extract just the audio from a video?
Yes! Click the audio extraction button to save the audio track as an M4A file. SnagV tries to copy the audio stream directly without re-encoding for maximum quality and speed.
