How to use Movix

If you can click a mouse, you can use Movix. No additional software or technical knowledge required.

Getting started

1

Install from Chrome Web Store

Click the button below (or visit the Chrome Web Store) and click "Add to Chrome." Confirm the installation when prompted.

Add to Chrome
2

Pin the extension icon

Click the puzzle piece icon (๐Ÿงฉ) in Chrome's toolbar, find Movix in the list, and click the pin icon to keep it visible. This makes it easy to access Movix on any page.

3

Visit any page with public content

Navigate to a website with publicly accessible video content. Movix automatically detects available media in the background. When content is found, a number appears on the Movix icon.

Tip: Some pages require you to play the video first before Movix can detect it. If you don't see a number on the icon, try pressing play.

Saving content

4

Click the Movix icon

Click the Movix extension icon in your toolbar. A popup appears showing all detected media files on the current page, with format, size, and quality information.

5

Choose your file and download

Find the file you want and click the download button. The file saves directly to your browser's default download location.

  • Multiple quality options may appear โ€” choose 1080p, 720p, or 540p as available
  • File size is shown next to each option to help you decide
  • Audio-only options (MP3) may also appear when available
6

For streaming content (HLS/M3U8)

Some websites use streaming technology (HLS). Movix handles this automatically โ€” it downloads all segments and merges them into a single MP4 file. A progress page opens in a new tab showing the download status.

Important: Keep the download tab open until the process completes. You can close the original video page.

Using Clip Save

7

What is Clip Save?

Clip Save lets you extract a specific segment from a longer video. Instead of downloading a 2-hour lecture, save just the 10-minute section you need.

8

How to use it

In the Movix popup, toggle the Clip Save switch. Set your start time and end time, then click save. Only the selected segment downloads.

  • Use for exam review clips, language practice phrases, or highlight reels
  • Saves bandwidth and storage by only keeping what you need

Activating a paid plan

9

Purchase a plan

Visit the pricing page and choose Basic or Pro. After payment, you receive a license key by email within minutes โ€” automatically, no manual approval needed.

10

Enter your license key

Open the Movix popup, click the settings/license area, and paste your license key. Your plan activates immediately โ€” full speed, no popups, expanded daily limits.

Troubleshooting

?

No number on the Movix icon

Try refreshing the page, or play the video for a few seconds. Some sites require playback to start before media is detectable. If it still doesn't work, the site may use DRM protection โ€” Movix cannot access DRM-protected content by design.

?

Download speed is slow

Download speed depends on your internet connection and the source server. During Phase 2 or Phase 3 of the free tier, speed is intentionally reduced โ€” upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited speed.
