SaveFrom.net Helper

The online space is heavily populated by multimedia content, especially in the form of videos. What’s more, you might want or need to download them, but there’s no easy direct way to do this. On the bright side of things, you can rely on specialized applications like SaveFrom.net Helper which literally integrate a download function in various pages.

One of the first things you need to know is that this isn’t really a stand-alone application, but rather a browser extension. More than this, it can seamlessly integrate in most popular web browsers, so there’s a high change it targets into the one you’re already using. Sadly, Microsoft Edge is not on the list of supported items.

The setup process automatically detects your installed browsers and lets you select the ones you wish to integrate the extension if you don’t want to apply it to all. Note, however, that Tampermonkey is required for deployment on Google Chrome. It’s automatically grabbed and deployed if you opt for Google Chrome browser integration. Don’t worry, Tampermonkey is merely an extension manager.

What the application actually does is to provide you with a download function for videos on multiple websites. It supports an impressive variety of sources, such as YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Dailymotion, VK, and a lot more.

It takes a neat approach on integration. In other words, the application skips you any unnecessary dialogs and menus for configuring settings or pasting links, and instead adds a download button on the page itself. The button is neatly integrated so it doesn’t interfere with the video. It offers multiple quality and format options to choose from. The save dialog shows up at the press of a button and you’re done.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that SaveFrom.net Helper is sure to come in handy if you want to enrich your offline video collection a lot easier. It neatly integrates with modern browsers to provide a direct download function on the page itself.
