How to Download Movies and Shows on Hulu?

Hulu Premium (No Ads) subscribers can use the Hulu app to download movies and shows on their mobile devices:

1. Open the Hulu app on your mobile device and go to a movie or show.
2. Tap the Download icon of the title:
   • For a film, the Download icon is on its details page.
   • In the show, the Download icon is next to each episode.

If you don’t see the Download icon, the title may not be available for downloading.

To find Hulu downloaded content, tap “Downloads“ at the bottom. Then you can play the video offline.

Hulu limits the number of videos you can download, and watched videos expire soon. If you want to delete watched titles, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Hulu app on your mobile device and tap “Download” at the bottom.
2. Tap the “Download” icon (the green rounded checkmark icon) next to a movie or episode and select “Delete Download.”
3. To delete multiple videos, press and hold one video to show the round checkbox before the downloads. Select the titles you want to delete, then tap the Trash icon in the top-right.

How to Download Hulu Videos with Disney+

If you’ve subscribed to the Hulu and Disney+ bundle Premium, you can also use the Disney+ app to download selected Hulu titles to your mobile device. This can save you the trouble of switching apps when watching offline. However, please note that not all Hulu titles are available for streaming or downloading on the Disney+ app.

Here’s how to use the Disney+ app to download Hulu titles:

1. Open the Disney+ app on your mobile device and tap “Hulu” from the home page.
2. Find the show or movie you want to download from Hulu. You can also use the “Search” icon to find the title.
3. Tap the Download icon under a movie’s name or next to each episode of a show.

What Are Hulu Download Limits and Restrictions?

In addition to subscription plan and mobile device limits, there are other restrictions on the Hulu download feature.

1. Subscription Limit: The download feature is only available to Hulu Premium (No Ads) subscribers.
2. Device Restriction: Download is only allowed on supported mobile devices, including iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and Amazon Fire tablets.
3. Content Availability: Not all content on Hulu is downloadable due to licensing agreements. Look for the download icon to check whether a title is available offline.
4. Download Number Limit: You can have up to 25 downloads across 5 mobile devices at one time.
5. Download Expiry: Unwatched downloads last for 30 days. Once you start playing a downloaded title, you’ll have 48 hours to finish watching.
