Movie night is coming up, and you’re excited to show your friends your favorite film. You’ve searched high and low, but you can’t find a way to download it. You’re starting to panic – you only have an hour left, or you’re doomed to watch The Breakfast Club (again)!

Before you start pulling out your hair, we have the answer to your problem – a free video downloader.

It’s a simple enough software that allows you to watch your favorite movies offline in just two clicks. Following are the steps on how to install and use it:

Step #1

Download Your Free Video Downloader (Such as ElwayShare)

Visit the ElwayShare website and download the software.

Step #2

Install the Free Video Downloader

Install the software by following the instructions. In most cases, the free video downloader will only ask for a setup location. You can then start using it immediately.

Step #3

Choose Your Download Method

Whether you want to download a video from YouTube or Facebook, all you need is the video’s URL. The software will have a “Download Bar,” where you can paste the URL.

The software will either first process the URL to generate a link or give you the download option directly.

It will then offer you two options: First, for the desired format, such as MP4, AVI, FLV, 3GP, etc., and second, for the desired quality, such as Full HD, 4K, 240p, 360p, etc.

Step #4

Download Your Video

Once you have chosen your download method, simply click on the “Download” button, and your video will be saved to your preferred folder.

Some software programs work as browser extensions, while others are downloaded on the system. In both cases, ensure they are regularly updated to stay compatible with changes on websites and any new formats and to fix potential issues.
