How to Download Patreon Videos with VideoProc Converter AI

The easiest way to download videos from Patreon is to use VideoProc Converter AI. It is a 5-in-1 video tool that allows you to download, convert, edit, compress, and record videos.

In terms of downloading, it supports mainstream video sites, videos hosted on YTB, Vimeo, and social media, as well as embedded videos on 1000+ sites. VideoProc Converter AI is the overall best choice if you want to archive videos from your favorite creators.

Download Patreon Video in 3 Easy Steps:

Step 1. After installing VideoProc Converter AI, launch it and go to the Downloader.

Step 2. Copy the Patreon video link.

You can click the Share button to copy the link of a specific Patreon video that you have subscribed to.

Alternatively, you can also right-click on the player, and hit Copy video URL.

Note: If the Patreon video is hosted using the Vimeo player, you can follow this tutorial to download it.

Step 3. Paste the link into the Downloader in VideoProc Converter AI.

• Click the Add Video button to call out the link analyzing window.
• Paste the video link into the box, and hit Analyze.
• Select a resolution/format you prefer, and hit Download.

You can repeat the steps to add multiple videos to the downloading queue. Once you are happy with the queuing list, click Download Now to batch save videos to your local storage.

Note:

1. Make sure you have logged in and subscribed to the creator and that you have the permission from the copyright holder to save the video offline.

2. Videos on Patreon can be hosted via the YouTube player, Vimeo player, embedded in the Patreon post, or embedded using the default media player on the website. Due to the complexity of various video hosting methods, there are occasions when certain links cannot be parsed or successfully analyzed by the downloader. Although the videos I tested were successfully saved offline, it is a case-by-case scenario, so there is no 100% guarantee that the methods here will work in every instance.

Bonus Tips:

1. You can also directly paste the link of a post from Patreon, and paste it into VideoProc Converter AI.

For instance, the post link may look like this: https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-xxx-85501816

2. If that link doesn't work, you can try to open the video in a new tab in the browser, and copy and paste that link to see if it works. Please make sure that you are using the "link of the video", instead of the "link of a Patreon page" – which may or may not work depending on the specific link.

3. You can also check detailed steps to download embedded videos from a webpage.

For instance, the post link may look like this: https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-xxx-85501816
