Thinkific Video Downloader

Overview

Thinkific courses have no built-in download button. When a creator pulls content down, switches platforms, or restructures the curriculum, the lessons you paid for disappear.

This extension puts you back in control. Log into any Thinkific course you are enrolled in, navigate to a lesson, and it automatically finds the video regardless of which hosting provider the creator chose. Pick your quality and it saves as a clean MP4 file. Batch mode queues every lesson at once and organizes the downloads into chapter and lesson folders that mirror the original course layout, so offline study matches the online structure.

Subtitles download alongside the video when available, and a progress tracker keeps you updated on every file in the queue. Everything runs locally in your browser with nothing uploaded to outside servers.

Reviews

• Essential for offline course access (5/5): I travel frequently and need offline access to courses I've paid for. This extension downloads entire Thinkific courses with the folder structure intact so I can study on flights without hunting for files. - David Park
• Handles Wistia embeds perfectly (4.9/5): The Wistia detection works flawlessly. Most Thinkific courses I take use Wistia hosting and this extension picks up every video without any manual steps. Subtitles download too. - Natalie Grant
• Batch downloads save serious time (4.8/5): Batch mode is the real selling point. I queued a 40-lesson course and walked away. Came back to a perfectly organized folder with every video in MP4 format. - Marcus Rivera
