Download M3U8/HLS Streams Instantly

M3U8 is a playlist format for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), a popular streaming protocol. It contains a list of video segments that FlowPick can merge into a single MP4 file — no FFmpeg needed.

The extension automatically detects M3U8/HLS streams on webpages, saving you from manually finding and copying stream URLs. It also provides batch download, smart filtering, and in-browser fragment merging.

Some websites use DRM protection, encrypted streams, or custom protocols that are not publicly accessible. FlowPick works best with standard HLS/DASH streams and direct video files.

Yes. FlowPick's smart filtering lets you filter segments by size, type, or duration. Short ad segments are automatically identified and can be excluded from the download.
