Amazon Prime Video is a streaming video service from Amazon. The benefits of Amazon Prime Video are included in the Amazon Prime membership, so if Amazon Prime is not available in your country/region, you can join Prime Video to watch it. With a membership, you can watch hundreds of TV shows and movies on your favorite device.

Amazon Prime Video has Mac and Windows app and allows you to download movies/TV shows on desktop/laptop. However, the downloads can only be played within Prime Video app. Not every video is downloadable. Besides, once the video is removed from Prime Video, your downloads also become unavailable. This post introduces a very helpful third-party Amazon Prime Video Downloader that allows you to download movies and TV shows to MP4 on desktop/laptop and keep them forever.

Option 1. Download Movies and TV Shows from Amazon Prime Video app

After you download the app, log in with your Amazon Prime or Prime Video account to watch. Browse available content and tap a title to watch it. To download Prime Video titles for offline viewing, you need a Fire tablet, or the Prime Video app for iOS, Android, macOS, or Windows 10/11. In the Prime Video app for Android and Windows 10/11, you’ll be able to select where to save downloaded titles. 

  • For movies: Select the option to download the title from the detail page.
