Download Video from Naver Using Free Tools

#1 Downvideo.stream (Online Service)

Downvideo.stream is a Naver video download site that has a simple and compact home page. It has the ability to download video from Naver, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and YouTube (limited websites supported).

This Naver TV video downloader online will grab your Naver video to MP4 and M3U8 (a short video and can't be opened in QuickTime). There are no more output formats for you to pick.

#2 Universal Video Downloader (Extension for Chrome)

Universal Video Downloader, powered by athopinnt, is a Naver video downloader for Chrome. It currently attracts 8000+ people to install.

The extension can capture various resolution levels of the video, like 1920*1080, 1280*720, 640*360, 480*270, etc.

However, the problem is that when clicking the "start" button, it may stay in the "stop" state forever and do nothing. Only some adult websites (such as xnxx.com and pornhub.com) can download videos quickly. I am not sure if it's a virus.

How to download Naver video HD on Chrome:

1. In the Chrome Web Store, go to the page of Universal Video Downloader.
2. Hit "Add to Chrome". From the pop-up dialog, click "Add extension".

5. Play a Naver TV video and the Chrome downloader will detect the video.
6. Click its icon to open the video download panel.
7. Choose your favorite resolution, and click "Start".

#3 Flash Video Downloader (Add-on for Firefox)

Firefox plugins are not as useful as Chrome ones. Most plugins on Firefox can only download advertisements for Naver videos. Thus before you download videos, be sure to take a closer look at the time of them.

Video DownloadHelper used to be a very powerful Naver video downloader on Firefox. However, it now can hardly download any videos unless you install its companion app - net.downloadhelper.coapp (not good).

You can try Flash Video Downloader (FVD supported by fvdmedia.com) for Firefox, but I can’t guarantee 100% success.

How to download Naver video on Firefox:

1. Find Flash Video Downloader on addons.mozilla.org.
2. Click "Add to Firefox" > "Add". The add-on will be installed and showed up in the toolbar.
3. Play a Naver video. Once Flash Video Downloader detects the Nave video, its icon gets blue.
4. Click the icon to pop up the panel.
5. Choose an option you wish to download and click "Convert".

#4 YouTube-DL (Command-line Program)

youtube-dl is a command-line utility for advanced and technical users. It's compatible with thousands of websites, such as Naver and YouTube. It can also support batch Naver video downloads, subtitles download, and playlist downloads.

youtube-dl is not recommended for non-technical personnel due to the complexity.

2. After installation, launch Terminal app and drag youtube-dl into Terminal.
3. Copy a link of Naver video you intend to download.
4. Paste the link into Terminal app, and press “Enter”. The download process will begin.

Can I Download Naver Now Video?

No, you can’t!

Naver NOW (called 네이버 NOW) is a streaming music and audio content service. Each channel has a specific music/genre theme.

You can easily visit the official website (https://now.naver.com/), and listen to songs for free without logging in.

However, all of Naver Now's music streams are powered by the Vibe service (https://vibe.naver.com/), from which information about Naver Now's performers is also sourced. Plus, many interactions with the Naver Now service are redirected to the Vibe page. Vibe DRM-protected or blocked tracks can't be downloaded unless you become a Vibe membership.

Similarly, it's impossible to download Naver now video free through a Naver video downloader.

Conclusion

The best way to bulk download Naver videos in high quality is to use the dedicated desktop software on Mac and Windows. If you don't mind sacrificing quality, wasting time, or not having the option of choosing an output format, you can use a free tool.
