June 30, 2025

it's summertime! we improved local processing, added long-awaited features, and improved a ton of other stuff.

on-device media processing

local processing is now enabled for everyone by default! it allows for faster downloading, file consistency, and best media compatibility. in this update, we optimized it to work on older browsers.

thanks to local processing, we were able to add audio covers in this update. Down.plus will automatically add covers/thumbnails from youtube or soundcloud, and it'll be cropped to a square when needed.

video subtitles

we added support for downloading videos with subtitles! full support for subtitles from: youtube, twitter, tiktok, vimeo, loom, vk video, and rutube. we'll keep adding support for more services in the future!
