Frequently Asked Questions

Setup, downloads, troubleshooting, and billing.

Installation

How do I install OFDownloader from a ZIP file?

Download and extract the ZIP file, open your browser’s extensions page, enable Developer mode, and choose Load unpacked. Select the extracted folder that contains manifest.json.

Why isn’t OFDownloader available on the Chrome Web Store?

Chrome Web Store policies may restrict downloader extensions. OFDownloader is therefore distributed as an official ZIP package and installed locally through Developer mode. Only download the package from the official OFDownloader website.

Install the official ZIP package
Which browsers are supported?

OFDownloader supports Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. Other Chromium-based browsers can usually use the Chrome version, but compatibility may vary by browser and version.

How do I update the extension?

Download the current release and replace the previously extracted extension files. Then open the browser’s extensions page and reload the OFDownloader extension.

Downloading

Do I need to enter my OnlyFans password into OFDownloader?

No. OFDownloader does not ask you to enter your OnlyFans password. Sign in to OnlyFans through the normal website before using the downloader.

Where are downloads processed and saved?

Downloads are processed locally on your device. Browser downloads are saved to your browser’s default or selected download folder, while the desktop app uses its configured save location. Payment is handled separately by Stripe.

Can I use OFDownloader on a mobile phone?

OFDownloader is available on Android through the official APK. The Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge ZIP packages are designed for desktop browsers and should not be installed on a phone.

Does OFDownloader support protected videos?

OFDownloader can download many protected videos that already play in your signed-in account. Support may vary by video and platform, and it cannot download content your account cannot access.

Can I bulk download one creator’s content?

Yes. Select one creator, click Download, and choose the content filters you need. OFDownloader adds matching accessible items to Download Center and automatically filters items that have already completed.

Troubleshooting

Why is the download button missing?

Confirm that OFDownloader is enabled, then temporarily disable ad blockers, content blockers, and other downloader extensions that may conflict with it. Force-refresh the page with Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Command+Shift+R on macOS.

Why is a download stuck or failing?

A temporary network interruption can cause a protected video download to stop. Retry the download first; OFDownloader automatically filters items that already finished, so completed items will not be downloaded again. If it still fails, check that the content remains available to your account.

What should I do if a protected stream will not download?

Confirm the video still plays in the same signed-in browser session, refresh the content page, and retry once while leaving the page open. If it still fails, test one smaller accessible item. Completed files are filtered automatically and will not be downloaded again.
