Pexels Video Downloader

Overview

You found the perfect search results page on Pexels with 40 gorgeous stock clips for your project. Now you have to click each one, pick a quality, download it, go back, and repeat 39 more times.

Pexels Video Downloader adds the bulk download feature that Pexels is missing. Select clips right from search results or collections, pick your quality (HD, Full HD, or 4K) and download them all at once. Every file gets named with the creator's info and tags built in, so your stock footage library stays organized and attribution is easy.

Built for video editors, social media managers, and content creators who need an offline collection of free footage they can rely on. Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera.

Why It Exists

• Build a curated local stock footage library for offline access during video editing
• Save hours compared to downloading Pexels clips one at a time through the website
• Maintain proper creator attribution with metadata preserved in every filename
• Keep a backup of your favorite stock clips in case they are removed from Pexels

Key Features

• Bulk download multiple Pexels stock videos from search results and collection pages
• Choose between available resolutions including HD, Full HD, and 4K for each clip
• Preserve Pexels metadata (creator name, tags, dimensions) in filenames for attribution

• Automatic file naming with resolution, creator, and category tags for organization
• Queue dozens of clips for batch processing with per-item progress tracking

• Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux

Reviews

• Bulk downloading from Pexels transformed my content workflow (5/5): I create social media content and need stock footage constantly. This extension lets me browse Pexels, select 30 clips from search results, and download them all in 4K while I work on other things. Massive time saver. - Alicia Moreau
• Metadata preservation makes organizing stock footage easy (4.9/5): The metadata in filenames is a small detail that makes a huge difference. I can search my local library by creator name or tag and find the exact clip I need. Much better than generic numbered filenames. - Grant Nakamura
• Essential for building offline stock footage libraries (4.8/5): I keep an offline stock footage library for client projects since I often work in locations without reliable internet. This tool lets me curate and download hundreds of Pexels clips organized by project theme. - Daniella Hartman
