If you're reading this article, you may be frustrated by the lack of download options on OnlyFans or concerned that a creator you recently subscribed to could delete all their content without warning. Don’t worry. Here, you’ll find up-to-date information on how to manage and, where OnlyFans allows, save the content you’ve paid for so it’s easier to watch when your connection is unstable — always within the limits of your active subscription and for personal use only.
- Ask the creator. Many will send a watermark‑free zip on request.
- Keep it private. Even fair‑use backups should stay in your own vault.
- Delete on cancellation. If you unsubscribe, the license to view is gone, too.
Can You Download OnlyFans Videos?
Just like I said before, there is no official way to download purchased OnlyFans videos.
You might feel it is unfair to force you to pay without giving you access to downloads. Thus, I find the most popular and reliable methods to help you.
👇Check this comparison sheet to know the features of the best OnlyFans video savers clearly. In summary, online tools/apps are convenient but usually cap out at 480–720p and don’t support batch or auto saving; screen-recording works on most devices but can fail or show only a blank screen on some protected content; desktop tools are generally the most stable way to manage your library at up to 1080p on Win/Mac, within your valid subscription and the platform’s rules.

How to Download OnlyFans Videos on PC?
If you’re thinking about saving content from OnlyFans on your computer, the first thing that should flash in your mind is “Is this legal? Is this safe?” Seriously, be careful. There are so many so-called “OnlyFans video downloader” tools floating around online, and honestly, a lot of them give me sketchy vibes. I’ve found that using a desktop app that has its own browser can feel pretty reliable. It even lets you batch save or schedule downloads, which is pretty handy. But don’t expect to magically grab videos you haven’t paid for; that’s not how it works. Plus (this is key), always stay within OnlyFans’ official rules, don’t mess around.
Tools Required: StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader
After testing popular tools for 2 weeks, I found that StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader offers a balanced mix of safety and ease of use for managing the content you’ve paid for. Within your active subscription, it helps you create personal offline copies of videos, including message videos, that you can already watch in your account, so you can enjoy them when your connection is unstable or you’re on the move.
Organize and, where allowed, save the videos, pictures, and messages you’ve purchased on OnlyFans in high-quality files for private viewing during your valid subscription, helping you manage your library more comfortably when the network is unstable.

For users who frequently follow multiple creators and feel tired of checking each post manually, StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader can reduce repetitive work with its smart auto- and batch-saving modes. These features are designed to help you keep personal backups of newly unlocked content within your active subscription.
Steps of Using StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader
Install and Launch StreamFab
Install StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader on your computer and start the program. Make sure you get it only from the official StreamFab website (for example, via the “Win Download” or “Mac Download” buttons above). Once the main interface opens, you’re ready to configure your personal backup settings.
Find OnlyFans and Sign In
In StreamFab, locate OnlyFans under the “Adult Services” section, click the icon, and sign in to your OnlyFans account as usual. If you visit it frequently, you can pin it to the VIP Services area so that your subscribed content is easier to access.
Open the Content You Want to Watch
Browse to the creator page or post and start playing the video you’ve legitimately unlocked. StreamFab will recognize the playing stream and show the available quality options so you can choose a resolution that matches your device and storage, within the quality provided by OnlyFans.
Confirm and Save for Offline Viewing
When the prompt finally pops up, review the video, check the quality, and smash “Download Now” to save yourself a local copy (for offline viewing, obviously), while your subscription’s still active. Finished downloads, they’ll hang out in Your Library where you can manage or delete them anytime. And please, don’t resell, share, or try to sneak past any tech protections; not worth the trouble.
How to Download OnlyFans Videos on Android Devices?
Saving OnlyFans content to your Android device can be tricky because some videos are restricted by the platform or system and simply can’t be stored locally in high quality. Below, I’ll walk through commonly discussed approaches on Android, focusing on safety, limitations.
- Online tools or apps like StreamFork are often discussed for quick tests, but they usually top out at 480–720p and may fail on some protected videos; for more consistent quality, many users prefer a desktop workflow.
- Common failure modes: site or system restrictions can cause blank or low-res results; online sites may show ads or phishing; Android file-size limits can also cap the final quality. Do not use any tool that claims to deal with protection or ignore OnlyFans’ Terms of Service.
1. Download via Online OnlyFans Downloaders
As discussed in our detailed guide on how people try to rip OnlyFans videos, some users experiment with online tools that temporarily cache videos they’ve already paid for in the browser. In practice, these sites simply convert the playable stream into an MP4 file and often come with limits on quality, stability, and privacy. They should never be used to access content you haven’t legitimately unlocked, nor to fool OnlyFans’ technical protection or Terms of Service.
However, it does not fully support downloading all OnlyFans videos as we tested. Due to this defect, it can download OnlyFans videos only up to 480p/720p resolution. Some of them contain lots of phishing links and annoying ads while downloading.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
The general steps below are for understanding how such tools usually work. They are not an endorsement, and you should carefully review OnlyFans’ Terms of Service and local laws before using any third-party site.
Find an Online Downloader
Search for online OnlyFans video downloaders that are trustworthy and do not ask for extra personal info. Open it for the next steps.
Copy the OnlyFans Video Link
Log in to your OnlyFans account on your browser, and find the video you want. Copy its URL. That’s it.
Paste the Link
Now, paste that copied link into the online downloader. The tool will try to sniff out your video. Sometimes it does this fast, sometimes it drags; it depends on whether the site likes OnlyFans today.
Select Quality and Download
Choose your preferred video resolution (Some online tools can't adjust options) and start to download OnlyFans videos. Click the download button and the video will be saved to your device's local storage for offline viewing.
2. Download via StreamFork
StreamFork is an application that some users mention when talking about saving OnlyFans clips on Android. It started as a browser extension and now runs more like an app via Expo.
According to its own description, it can work with certain protected videos once you’ve paid for access, but in my tests, the results were inconsistent and often low-quality. For many titles, mobile apps in general only allow relatively small file sizes (around 200–500 MB), which means that even when a clip is saved, you may end up with roughly 240p–720p and visible compression. You should never rely on such tools to handle site restrictions or technical protection mechanisms.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
Install Expo
You can get Expo from Google Play. It functions as the pre-requirements to make Streamfork run like an app rather than an extension so that it can download OnlyFans videos more easily.
Get and Start StreamFork (If You Still Decide to Try It)
If you decide to experiment with StreamFork, make sure you only obtain it from its official release channels and carefully review user feedback first. With Expo installed, you can open the StreamFork app and check how it handles the OnlyFans content you’ve already paid for.
Download Videos and Images
Log in to your OnlyFans account to locate the desired video or image and select the download button adjacent to it.
Access Your Downloads
Downloaded OnlyFans videos will automatically be saved in your phone’s gallery, where you can view and organize them.
How to Download OnlyFans Videos on iOS Devices?
Compared with Android, it's much more complex to do the same things on iOS due to its highly restricted system. But we still find the 2 most available ways for you.
1. Saving with iOS Official Recording Function
Another option is to use the built-in screen-recording function on your iOS device to screen record OnlyFans for a personal offline copy. This doesn’t require any extra apps. However, because OnlyFans and iOS may apply various technical protection measures, the recording can be unstable: in some cases, you may see only a black screen or noticeably lower resolution. Any recordings should be treated as temporary, personal notes, must not be shared or reposted, and you should never try to circumvent those protection mechanisms.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
Enable Screen Recording in the Control Center
Open the Control Center and tap the "+" button next to Screen Recording to add it to your Control Center.
Log in to OnlyFans
Open Safari and go to the OnlyFans website. Log in with your account and find the video you want to save.
Start Screen Recording
Open the Control Center and tap the Screen Recording button, then play OnlyFans videos you want.
Stop Recording and Save
When the video finishes, return to the Control Center and tap the Screen Recording button again to stop.
2. Downloading via Documents
Documents by Readdle is a file management app for iOS devices. It lets you organize, view, and manage various file types, and its built-in browser can be used to open and save OnlyFans to MP4 files, including some content from subscription platforms.
It’s free to use, but its behavior on OnlyFans is inconsistent: for some titles, site or system restrictions mean that videos can only be stored in very low resolutions, if at all.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
Install Documents on Your iOS
Download and install this app from the App Store on your iOS device.
Open the Browser in Documents
Launch it and tap on the browser to open the built-in web browser.
Copy the Video URL
Log in to your OnlyFans account. Find the video you want and copy its URL.
Download the Video
Paste the copied URL into the Download Manager in this software. It will provide options to download OnlyFans videos.
3. Download via Shortcuts
This app lets you create personal shortcuts with multiple steps from your favorite apps. We find it has been frequently mentioned by those who want to download videos on iOS. This isn’t an official method, by the way; the idea comes straight from what random people share on public forums. The catch is, these user-made shortcut files, well, they might vanish whenever, with no warning. And just a heads up: while some shortcuts claim they’ll make video downloads on your iPhone a breeze, they’re super unpredictable and could just stop dead after an iOS update.
The general steps below simply illustrate how a typical shortcut-based workflow might look. Because they involve third-party files, you should be extremely cautious: only import shortcuts from sources you trust, and review the actions they perform.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
Download and Install It on Your iOS
You can find Shortcut in the App Store, download and install it on your iOS device. Start it to prepare for the downloads.
Download the Shortcut File
Go get the shortcut file. But please avoid directly searching for or installing shortcut files just because someone online says they can “download OnlyFans videos”; always evaluate the legal and security risks first.
Enable the Show in Share Sheet option
Click the 3 dots in the corner of the shortcut folder on the shortcut app. Click the blue “share sheet,” and the option to enable “show in share sheet” will pop up under the details.
Play OnlyFans Videos You Want
Whenever an OnlyFans video is playing in a browser, click on the close player icon in the top left, and keep the video page still intact.
Download the Video File
Choose to share the webpage, and you can find the "Download File" shortcut at the bottom. This will allow you to download OnlyFans videos from the URL

FAQs
1. Does OnlyFans allow downloads?
No. There is no official download button. Legal saving requires an active subscription and personal use only.
2. Can I download legally if I subscribe?
Yes, for personal offline viewing only. Do not redistribute; delete files if you cancel your subscription.
3. Can I download OnlyFans videos for free with StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader?
Yes! You can enjoy 3 full-function free downloads for a 30-day trial.
4. Is it safe to download OnlyFans videos with third-party tools?
Nothing online is ever totally safe today. There’s always that nagging risk. Maybe some sneaky malware is hitching a ride, or worse, your info is leaking into the wrong hands.
Personally, I prefer well-maintained desktop tools with built-in browsers, such as StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader, because they are easier to audit and manage. However, this still does not give you the right to access content you haven’t paid for or to redistribute what you save. Everything should remain for private viewing during your valid subscription only.
5. Is it legal to download OnlyFans videos with third-party tools?
It depends a lot on your country’s laws and, yep, on OnlyFans’ own Terms of Service. In many places, making a limited personal backup of content you’ve paid for and are allowed to view may fall within acceptable use — but this is not guaranteed, and using unapproved tools can still breach the platform’s rules.
As a baseline, you should:
- Only save content you have legitimately unlocked with an active subscription.
- Keep any copies for private viewing only.
- Delete the files if you cancel your subscription or if the creator asks you to.
- Never sell, repost, or share the videos you save, as those behaviors can seriously violate copyright laws.
Wrap Up
I’ll be honest: after weeks of tinkering with command-line scripts, browser extensions, and shiny paid apps, I’ve learned that there is no “set-and-forget” way to save OnlyFans content. Terms of Service updates, token changes, and DMCA enforcement mean that every shortcut or tool will eventually break or need to be updated — and some uses may cross legal or ethical lines.
If you truly feel you need a local copy, for example, you paid a lot for a master-class series, talk to the creator first and see whether they can offer an official download or personal access. When that’s not an option and your local rules allow limited personal backups, choose a reputable, frequently updated tool such as StreamFab OnlyFans Downloader, keep any files strictly for private viewing during your valid subscription, and delete them if you cancel. The creators you follow rely on that income; treating their work with the same respect you’d expect for your own is what keeps the whole ecosystem alive.
This software is intended solely for creating personal backups of streaming content that you have legally subscribed to and are authorized to view. Keep those copies for your eyes only. Commercial use, sharing, resale, or any other form of redistribution is strictly prohibited and that could get you in trouble with copyright or the streaming service.
