Netflix is a popular streaming platform that allows you to download movies and TV shows for offline viewing. While you can adjust download quality within the Netflix app (up to 1080p), downloads are limited to mobile devices and certain Chromebooks. To download Netflix content to your computer, you’ll need a dedicated video downloader. This guide will show you how to download Netflix videos in Full HD (1080P) using the Netflix app and a Netflix downloader.

Netflix Download Qualities

Netflix offers three subscription plans: Standard with ads, Standard, and Premium. Each plan allows you to download movies and TV shows for offline viewing.

Netflix offers two download video quality options to all users:

  • Standard: Shorter download times and less storage space. Videos will play in Standard Definition (SD) quality.
  • High/Higher: Longer download times and more storage space. Videos will play in up to 1080p (Full HD) or 720p (HD) quality, depending on the original source material and your device’s capabilities.

To check whether a Netflix title is available in Full HD or higher quality, check the Netflix video quality labels. HD means either Full HD (1080p) or HD (720p), and 4K Indicates 4K Ultra HD quality. Please note that even if a title is labeled as 4K, it may play in a lower resolution on devices that don’t support 4K.

How to Download Netflix in Full HD on Mobile

Netflix allows users to download shows and movies for offline playback on devices including Android phones or tablets, iPhones or iPads, Windows 10 or 11 computers (only on ad-free Netflix plans), Amazon Fire tablets, and Google Chromebooks (with Google Play Store installed). To download a title in 1080p, you need to change the download video quality settings within the Netflix app.
