About Rutube Video & Audio Downloader
Save any Rutube video in the quality you want — as a real MP4 — or grab just the soundtrack as an M4A, without leaving the page.
Rutube Video & Audio Downloader adds a Download button right below every video player, plus a full-featured popup, so saving a video is never more than one click away.
⬇️ DOWNLOAD BUTTON UNDER EVERY VIDEO
• A red Download button appears directly below the player on every Rutube video
• Click it for a menu with every available quality — one click assembles and saves the MP4
• Works on rutube.ru, including embedded players and shorts
🎬 QUALITY YOUR WAY
• Every rendition Rutube streams: 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p
• Your preferred quality is remembered and pre-selected next time
• Optional “[720p]” quality tag appended to the file name
🎞️ REAL MP4 — HLS DONE FOR YOU
• Rutube streams over HLS (segmented). The extension fetches the segments and rebuilds a single, standalone MP4 right in your browser — the video and audio are copied, never re-encoded (no quality loss, no ffmpeg, no servers)
• Prefer the raw stream? “Original stream · TS” saves the untouched HLS bytes so you can remux them yourself
🎵 AUDIO ONLY — M4A
• Save just the sound of any video: music, podcasts, lectures, interviews
• The AAC audio track is pulled straight from the stream, on your device — nothing uploaded
• Live progress on the Download button and in the popup; the M4A lands in your normal downloads
📝 NAMED RIGHT, SAVED RIGHT
• Name files by the video title (Cyrillic handled correctly) or by the video id
• “Ask where to save” toggle for full control
• Downloads go through Chrome’s normal download manager
⚡ FAST & EFFORTLESS
• No account, no setup, no watermarks, no limits
• Your format, quality and naming choices sync with your Chrome profile
🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device, using your own Rutube session. The extension collects no data at all — no analytics, no trackers. It never sends video, audio or browsing information anywhere; the file is built from Rutube’s own stream and saved to your Downloads folder.
Note: Rutube region-locks a large share of its catalogue to Russia. Videos that are blocked in your region can’t be read or downloaded — the extension will tell you when that happens.
Please only download videos you have the right to save — your own content, content with the author’s permission, or content in the public domain — and respect Rutube’s terms of service.
