Prime Video, Amazon’s video streaming platform, continues to deliver high-quality originals such as The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Reacher, etc. To better enjoy these fantastic shows without interruption, you may need to download an entire season. However, this can consume significant storage space, especially with high-quality downloads. In such cases, downloading videos to the SD card on your phone or tablet becomes a practical solution.

Prime Video allows you to download titles directly to the SD card with its app. Furthermore, there’s another way to download Prime Video movies and shows to your SD card without the app. The latter is more recommended as it enables you to watch the downloaded videos on any other supported devices and you can keep the download forever.

Option 1. Download to SD Card with the Prime Video App

With the Prime Video app, subscribers can conveniently download movies and shows to an SD card on their Android phone or tablet. Simply activate the “Download videos to SD card” feature, and all your downloads will be automatically stored on your SD card. Follow the steps below to enable this feature:

  1. Open the Prime Video app on your Android device. Tap your profile icon and go to Settings (the gear icon).
  2. Select Stream & download.
  3. Scroll down and turn on “Download videos to SD card.”

FAQs About Downloading with the Prime Video App

1. Why can’t I move downloaded movies from Prime Video to an SD card?

Titles downloaded using the Prime Video app cannot be directly transferred to the SD card. To move a downloaded video from the internal storage to your SD card, you need to delete the download from the device and then re-download it directly to the SD card.

2. Can I play the downloads on other devices?

Unfortunately, videos downloaded are only playable on the same device and account you originally downloaded. If you insert an SD card with Amazon Prime Video downloads into another device, the videos will not play.

3. How many mobile devices can I download a Prime Video title to?

Prime Video allows subscribers to download available titles to a single mobile device at one time. If you have already downloaded the title to a mobile device, you’ll need to delete it before downloading it to another device.

4. How long does a downloaded title last?

Downloaded videos generally last for 30 days. However, once start watching, you’ll typically have 48 hours to finish.

In addition, after your Prime Video subscription expires or is canceled, you won’t be able to access any videos through your Prime Video app unless you’ve rented or purchased that title or re-subscribed.

Option 2. Download Prime Video Titles to SD Card Without the App

With the Prime Video app on your Android device, you can conveniently download movies and shows to an SD card.
