Why Do You Need StreamFab ZDF Downloader?

Downloaded ZDF videos expire and not all ZDF videos can be downloaded

Downloaded ZDF videos expire and not all ZDF videos can be downloaded

ZDF Mediathek is a premier source for German entertainment, but it comes with strict limitations. Due to the "Depublizierungspflicht" (depublication duty), many popular shows and documentaries are forcibly removed from the platform after 7 to 30 days. Furthermore, official download options are often restricted to mobile apps, come with expiration dates, and cannot be transferred to PC or external drives for permanent storage.

To overcome these restrictions, StreamFab ZDF Downloader offers the perfect solution to save ZDF videos locally on your computer. It allows you to download videos in 1080p quality as generic MP4 or MKV files.

Feedbacks on StreamFab ZDF Downloader

The 7-day deletion rule on ZDF is incredibly frustrating, especially when high-quality documentaries disappear before I can show them in class. StreamFab ZDF Downloader is a lifesaver! It allows me to archive these videos on my hard drive for an extended viewing window without worrying about expiration dates.

Lucas/Photographer

I commute by train daily and prefer watching movies on my laptop rather than a small phone screen. Since the official ZDF website doesn't support PC downloads and only works on mobile apps, this tool is exactly what I needed. It saves videos as standard MP4 files, so I can watch them offline on my laptop without any playback errors.

Sophia/Editor

I wanted to save an entire season of a detective series for my vacation, but official tools make it tedious to download episodes one by one. The batch download feature here is fantastic. I selected the whole season, and it grabbed everything in 1080p with AAC 2.0 audio automatically. The picture quality is just as clear as the original stream.
