To download Hotmart video on your PC, you need to be signed in to the course, open the class in your browser, and use a method that captures the video file safely. Some courses offer a download button, but when that does not exist you can use an extension like Hotmart Downloader, which downloads the video directly from the player using credits per class.
In this guide, you will see the main ways to download Hotmart videos on a computer, the step-by-step process for each one, where they fail, and when it is worth using Hotmart Downloader.
Before you start: legal and security precautions
Before thinking about downloading any class, it is important to understand what you can and cannot do.
- Read the course terms.
- Use the download only for personal use.
- Do not share the file in groups, networks, or piracy sites.
- Avoid suspicious programs that ask for your Hotmart password.
Some creators make it very clear that content can only be viewed through the Hotmart site or app. Others are more flexible about offline use, as long as you do not distribute the material.
If in doubt, open a support ticket with the course and ask whether you can keep an offline copy for studying.
Method 1: use Hotmart's official features (when they exist)
Some courses on Hotmart offer official ways to watch offline, mostly on mobile apps. On a PC, this is less common, but it is worth checking first.
Step by step
- Sign in to your course through the browser (Chrome, Edge, or another) on your PC.
- Open the class you want to watch offline.
- Look for download icons or quality options on the video player.
- Click "Download" or similar, if the option appears.
- Choose the destination folder on your computer, if prompted.
Where this method fails
- Many courses do not have a download button in the PC player.
- Some offline features may exist only on the mobile app, not in the browser.
- Even when a download exists, the file may come in a protected format that only opens in the platform's own player.
If you find no direct download option on your computer, move on to the next methods.
Method 2: browser offline modes (and why they rarely solve it)
Many people try things like "save page", cache, or generic download extensions to get a quick fix. In practice, this almost always runs into trouble with platform video.
Trying to save the page
- Open the Hotmart class in your browser.
- Right-click anywhere empty on the page.
- Select "Save as…" or "Save page".
- Choose "Complete page" and confirm.
- Afterwards, open the saved folder and look for large video files.
In most cases you will only find HTML, images, and a few scripts. The video uses streaming (HLS or similar), which does not come through complete with this type of save.
Using generic download extensions
- Search the Chrome Web Store for "video downloader" type extensions.
- Install a well-rated extension, if you decide to test one.
- Open the class on Hotmart and try to detect the video through the extension.
Where this method fails
- Many of these plugins do not understand Hotmart's player or the type of streaming it uses.
- Several generic extensions break with Hotmart updates or browser updates.
- There is a risk of malware or data theft with extensions of dubious origin.
When none of this works reliably, it is worth using a tool built specifically for Hotmart's domains, like Hotmart Downloader.
Method 3: download Hotmart video on PC with Hotmart Downloader
Hotmart Downloader is a Google Chrome extension built to capture videos from courses hosted on Hotmart (club, player, and CDN) inside your browser. It uses a per-video credit system, focuses on private downloads, and does not ask for your Hotmart password.
What you need
- A PC or laptop with Google Chrome.
- Access to an active Hotmart course.
- The Hotmart Downloader extension installed in Chrome.
- Some available credits in your Hotmart Downloader account.
On the Free tier, you get 15 credits after signing up with Google, which usually covers about 3 complete videos (5 credits per video). Paid plans start at 100 credits a month (20 videos).
Step by step: installing Hotmart Downloader
- Open Google Chrome on your PC.
- Go to the Chrome Web Store.
- Search for "Hotmart Downloader", or use the official link listed on the product's site.
- Click "Add to Chrome".
- Confirm with "Add extension".
- Wait for installation and check that the icon appeared next to the address bar.
Step by step: downloading a Hotmart video with the extension
- Sign in to Hotmart in Chrome and open the course you want.
- Enter the exact class you want to download and wait for the player to fully load.
- Check that the address starts with one of the supported domains (like
club.hotmart.com,hotmartplayer.com, orhotmartcdn.com). - Click the Hotmart Downloader icon in the browser toolbar.
- Wait for the extension to identify the class's video.
- Check the credit cost for that video (usually 5 credits per full class).
- Click "Download" or similar to confirm the use of credits.
- Wait for the download to finish and save the file in an organized folder on your PC.
After that, you can watch the video in any player on your computer, even without internet, as long as you respect personal use.
Where this method fails
- If you are not enrolled in the class, the player will not load and the extension will not find the video.
- If the class uses some new or different kind of protection, there may be videos the extension still cannot download.
- The method depends on your account's credits; once they run out, you need to wait for your monthly plan to renew or buy more.
- Hotmart Downloader is a Chrome extension for desktop; it does not work in every browser or on phones.
Comparison table: options for downloading Hotmart video on PC
When you search for "download Hotmart video on PC", you usually land on three paths: official features, browser workarounds, or a dedicated tool. See the differences side by side.
| Method | Needs to install something? | Works on most courses? | Control over the file | Main risks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hotmart's official button / feature | No | No, only on some courses | Low to medium | File stuck to the player, few options |
| Offline modes / generic extensions | Yes (sometimes) | Unreliable | Low | Malicious extensions, download failures |
| Hotmart Downloader (Chrome extension) | Yes | High, on many Hotmart courses | High (local MP4 file) | Needs credits and only works on PC |
If you only want to test a few classes, the free version of Hotmart Downloader tends to be enough. For anyone who needs to download many classes every month, the Standard (100 credits, about 20 videos) and Pro (150 credits, about 30 videos) plans lower the cost per video.
Tips for organizing downloaded videos on your PC
Downloading is only half the job; if you do not organize your files, you will waste time looking for a class later.
- Create one folder per course.
- Inside it, create subfolders by module or week.
- Rename files with the class number plus a short title (for example,
01-intro.mp4). - Back up to an external drive or private cloud, always keeping access restricted.
- If you share the computer, use your own user account or a password-protected folder.
This organization helps a lot when you have long courses with dozens of videos.
The short version
To download Hotmart video on PC, first check whether your course offers an official download button on the player; when that does not exist, the browser's offline modes almost never solve it. In those cases, a specific extension for Hotmart's domains, like Hotmart Downloader, lets you download classes directly from the player using credits per video, so you can watch offline on your computer with more control and organization.
