How to Download Videos from Hulu to Watch Offline [Any Device]

Imagine you are on a long flight or commuting underground with no signal. You may want to kill time with your favorite Hulu series without draining your mobile data. Hulu is famous for its seamless streaming experience, but in situations like these, users still want to download Hulu videos for offline viewing.

Hulu does support downloads, but with certain limitations, such as expiration and only on mobile devices. So, in this article, I clearly explain Hulu's download restrictions and how to download from Hulu to more flexible and permanent formats like MP4 using third-party tools like StreamByte for Video. Let's start!

Part 1. Can I Download Content on Hulu with Ads?

The short answer is NO. Only Hulu (No Ads) and Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV plans support offline downloads through the Hulu app. If you only have the Hulu (With Ads) plan, downloading content is not supported.

If you are looking for a way to save Hulu videos on your PC or Mac, a third-party Hulu video downloader can help you. Move on to the next part.

Part 2. Download Shows from Hulu to Laptop/Mac

StreamByte for Video is a perfect solution, specially designed to download Hulu content to Windows or Mac computers. With it, you can easily save films in MP4, MKV, or MOV format, which means downloads never have expiration or device limits. You can use them forever and transfer them to any device.

Part 3. Download Movies from Hulu to iOS/Android

Some of you may be Hulu (No Ads) subscribers and prefer downloading from Hulu to iOS or Android devices. Therefore, I will also provide you with a detailed guide to Hulu's official download feature. (Remind you again of the supported mobile devices: iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, Android 7.1 or higher.)

Here is the official method of saving movies from Hulu to iOS/Android.

Step 1. Search for the targeted titles.
Open the Hulu app on your device. At the bottom menu bar, tap Downloads > See What's Downloadable.

Scroll through the various collections to browse.

Step 2. Select & Download Hulu titles
Select the movie or show you want to download by tapping the 'Download' button. Be patient and wait until the check mark appears. Then, the downloading is finished, and you can find your downloads by clicking 'Downloads'

Now you can enjoy Hulu content offline anywhere and anytime! Please watch your downloads before they expire, otherwise you'll have to download them again.

Part 4. FAQs on How to Download Videos from Hulu

Why can't I download some episodes on Hulu?

If you fail to download some Hulu episodes, you can consider the following reasons individually.

• Not all titles are available for download due to licensing restrictions.

• You may not use a supported plan (Hulu No Ads or Hulu No Ads + Live TV).

• The device you use might not support downloads.

• Your Hulu app may need an update.

Why does Hulu say I have too many downloads?

Hulu limits users to 25 downloads across five devices. You can check if your download volume has reached its maximum. If so, delete old or watched downloads to free up space. Alternatively, use StreamByte for Video to save MP4 videos on your computer to eliminate these limits.
