The Free Trial gives you 7 days to test all features with a limit of 3 downloads per day and 1 simultaneous download. Pro removes all limits - unlimited downloads, unlimited simultaneous downloads, and lifetime free updates.
Chrome Web Store policy forbids extensions that wrap video-download tools like yt-dlp, even though those tools are legal and widely used. Rather than cripple SVD's capabilities, we distribute the extension directly from our website so it keeps full power over m3u8/HLS streams. The zip is code-signed, the source is open to inspect, and the app itself is Apple-notarized — installing via "Load unpacked" takes 30 seconds and is standard procedure for power-user tools.
SVD supports 1,800+ sites including YouTube, Twitter/X, Vimeo, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and many more. However, DRM-protected sites like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video are not supported.
Yes! Each Pro license allows you to use SVD on up to 2 devices. This means you can install it on both your desktop and laptop, or on a Mac and a Windows PC.
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If SVD doesn't meet your expectations for any reason, just contact us at byjw.studio@gmail.com and we'll process your refund promptly.
