How to Download Hulu Video with Ad-supported Plan

Hulu offers a variety of subscription options, including base plans and bundles. You can choose to subscribe to Hulu alone or its bundle with Disney+ and ESPN. The most popular plan is the Hulu (With Ads) plan, which allows subscribers to access exclusive series, hit movies, Originals, kids shows, and more. It only costs $7.99/month ( $1.99/month for eligible college student). Plus, it offers a one-month free trial. After that, you can cancel your membership at any time. This affordable plan is worthwhile for you if you want to try this streaming service.

But there's something you need to know before subscribing to Hulu (With Ads) plan. For example, only subscribers of Hulu (No Ads) or Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV can download Hulu videos. Be at ease, this guide will give you a solution if you want to download Hulu videos with the ad-supported plan.

What Do You Need to Download Videos on the Hulu App?

Subscribers of Hulu (With Ads) plan are not available to download videos on the Hulu app directly. To download Hulu on the Hulu app, you need to subscribe to Hulu (No Ads) plan or Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV bundle first, and use a supported device to download the content.

These are compatible devices:

Supported iPhones and iPads (running iOS 13.4 and above)
Supported Android mobile devices (running Android 5.0 and above + screen size of at least 800x480 pixels)
Supported Amazon Fire tablets (running Fire OS 5 or above)

>> Download Limits of This Method

First, you can only download 25 titles on 5 supported devices at a time. Second, you have 48 hours from the time you begin playback to finish watching before the download expires. If you haven't seen the downloaded videos for 30 days, you need to renew your downloads. In addition, you can't access your downloads if your subscription expires.

To remove the download limits, you need a tool to help you. No matter you are Hulu (No Ads) plan subscriber or Hulu (With Ads) plan subscriber, this tool can help you download Hulu videos without restrictions. To know how it works, read on.
