Pro Tips

Perfect for offline learning

TED talks are great educational content. Download them to watch on flights, commutes, or anywhere without reliable internet. Build your own library of talks to reference later.

Most talks are under 20 minutes

TED limits most talks to 18 minutes, so downloads are quick and files are not huge. You can grab several talks without eating up too much storage space.

Quality is consistently high

TED produces all their videos professionally, usually in 1080p or higher. You get excellent video and audio quality compared to user-generated content on other platforms.

Check for subtitles separately

This tool downloads the video file. If you need subtitles or transcripts, grab those from the TED website before downloading, as they are separate files not embedded in the video.

Download TED Talks for Offline Viewing

TED talks offer some of the best educational content online, covering everything from science to psychology to design. But streaming requires internet access. This tool lets you download any TED talk to watch offline whenever you want.

Just paste the talk URL and download. No account needed, no software required. The tool grabs the video file from TED servers and sends it to your downloads folder ready to watch.

This is useful for building a personal library of educational content, watching on flights or commutes, or keeping talks for reference in presentations and research. TED talks stay on the site long-term, but having your own copy means you can watch without buffering or internet issues.

The downloader gets you the same high quality video TED streams on their site, usually 1080p with professional audio. TED produces all their content to broadcast standards, so you get excellent quality compared to user-generated videos on other platforms.

Most talks are under 20 minutes, so downloads are quick. A typical 15-minute TED talk downloads in under a minute on decent internet. Once saved, the file is yours to watch as many times as you want, share with students or colleagues, or reference for your own learning.
