How to keep Netflix downloads forever

Liked globally by many users, Netflix has become the one-stop solution for the entertainment needs of any modern family. It has everything starting from the recent movies to the top international TV shows. However, same as other video streaming services, Netflix sets many restrictions on downloads. Netflix downloads may expire, disappear, or become unavailable. In this article, we will share a powerful tool to help you download Netflix videos as MP4 files and keep the downloads forever.

Part 1 Why Does Netflix Remove Movies and Shows

Netflix licenses a lot of its content (even some of its Netflix Originals are licensed). That means that Netflix effectively rents content for a fixed period of time. When that time is up, the title then leaves.

If a TV show or movie is leaving Netflix in the next month, we display a “Last day to watch on Netflix” message in a few places to make sure you don't miss out. Titles that are no longer available on Netflix will expire when they leave the service, regardless of when they were downloaded.

2022 March is going to be a huge month when it comes to removals. We’re seeing Disney pull back even more content from Netflix (although not everything still) including the huge Marvel franchise that was built on Netflix between 2015 and 2019 in the form of The Defenders.

Part 2 Netflix downloads will expire

Downloading Netflix movies and TV shows to watch when you're not connected to the internet is simple. To download the movies for offline playback, you will need Phone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 9.0 or later, Android phone or tablet running Android 4.4.2 or later, Amazon Fire tablet running Fire OS 4.0 or later, Windows 10 (version 1709 or newer) or Windows 11 tablet or computer, Select Chromebook and Chromebox models. The downloads are perfect for plane rides, car trips, and other places that benefit from entertainment but don't necessarily have great internet connections. However, there are also some limitations.

• Downloaded TV shows and movies are available on the device that was used to download them and can be viewed from any profile in your account. Downloads will expire after a period of time , and some have a limit on how many times they can be downloaded per year. Once you’re done watching, delete downloads from your device.
• If you cancel your account, TV shows and movies you’ve downloaded will be deleted from your device.
• The quantity of devices you can download Netflix videos on is based on your subscription plan. With Basic plan, you can only download titles on one device.
