Free PC downloader, same premium upgrade

The Windows version uses the same download engine approach as the Mac app: yt-dlp for site support and ffmpeg for merging, conversion, and repair. The buying method is unchanged. Buy Pro once on Gumroad, paste the license key into the app, and the PC version verifies it against the same Gumroad product as the Mac version.

Free

Download up to 5 videos per day in up to 1080p on Windows PC. No account and no subscription.

Pro

Unlock unlimited downloads, 8K quality, playlists, conversion, repair, subtitles, and SponsorBlock features.

One license

The $5 Gumroad license can be activated on up to 3 computers, including Mac and Windows PC installs.

How to install on Windows

  1. Download the Windows installer.
  2. Run Star.Video.Downloader.Setup.exe, then launch Star Video Downloader from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.
  3. Use the Tools section to install or update yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe.
  4. Paste a video URL and start downloading.

If Windows SmartScreen warns you because this is a new app build, choose the option to run it only if you trust the download from starvideoapp.com.

PC features
