Is It Legal To Download Videos From Crackle?

Since Crackle doesn’t facilitate offline downloads, it’s not legal to download its TV shows and movies from its website and mobile apps.

If you ever need to download a video from Crackle, don’t use it for commercial purposes. Also, consider using a free VPN to anonymize yourself.

Crackle can afford to let you stream movies and TV shows for free because it includes frequent advertisements within the content you watch.

The ads could only show up if you stream the videos from the site. Therefore, it doesn’t yet allow offline downloading of videos so you can watch those without burning internet data balance.

However, its Terms of Service document states that you can download a single copy of a video or trailer if the Crackle website or mobile apps show a Download button.

I’ve checked many programs on the video streaming site and couldn’t find any video I can download to my PC, Mac, or smartphone.

Summary

So far, you’ve learned about different web, desktop, and mobile apps that let you download videos from Crackle.

Apps like StreamFab, CleverGet, etc., function as a modified website browser that allows you to download videos from streaming sites like Crackle. The others work as Crackle downloaders indirectly by enabling you to record desktop or mobile screens.

You must responsibly use these applications to download very few videos from Crackle. Crackle relies on in-content advertisements to serve free content. So if you watch offline the streaming provider won’t be able to stay afloat for long.
