How to Download Movies from Amazon - Make Your Choice

Amazon Prime is a video on demand platform operated by Amazon which offers users a wide range of TV shows, videos, and plenty of other media content. The service is based on a subscription and users have the option to rent or purchase various videos that are not included in the standard subscription. Right now, the Prime Video only is available in the US, the UK, Sweden, Germany, and Austria. This means you don’t need to have an Amazon Prime subscription to enjoy the video platform.

Just like other video streaming platforms out there, Prime Video offers the most popular creations as well as some productions that are unique for the platform. The Tour, a car TV-show that is hosted by the ex-protagonists of Top Gear is perhaps the most popular exclusive video content offered by Amazon Prime Video right now. However, new shows are always put in production and the competition between Amazon, Netflix, HBO, Zulu, and other platforms are great for the users that get top-quality content.

The first operating system we’re focusing on for top software is macOS. So, if you want to download Amazon video to Mac, you’ll find a list of 5 top applications that will perform this task for you in a professional and simple manner. Not only that we checked these apps to make sure each one delivers a high-quality experience, but we also took compatibility and a smooth user interface into consideration. Of course, one of the most important parts of downloading Amazon video Mac users look for is a feature-rich app, so that was an attribute when doing the selection as well.

Wondershare AllMyTube for Mac is the next Mac app that we’re taking into consideration as a reliable software to download videos from Amazon Prime Video. Besides Amazon, you can use it to download videos from YouTube, Facebook, Metacafe, Vimeo, and many more. Also, when you decide on which video to download, you can choose from formats like MP4, FLV, WebM to make sure you have the best experience possible. It can also download audio only in case you have a documentary or TV show on Amazon that you want to save as MP3. It also offers Wireless Transfer so you can see the videos on other devices after downloading them on your Mac.

Pros of AllMyTube for Mac:

One of the main advantages of AllMyTube is its flexibility when it comes to adapting the videos for various devices. The wide range of formats and the Wireless Transfer work perfectly together.

Cons of AllMyTube for Mac:

On the other hand, since the free version of AllMyTube only offers a few features, it’s disappointing not to be able to see the full power of the app before you pay for it.

Cost: $19,00 for 1 year and 1 device / $39,00 for a lifetime license

Definitely a capable app that could easily become more popular if they would include more features in the free version so that users can see everything this app can do. Even so, it deserves the number three position in our list of Amazon downloader Mac-dedicated apps.

Don’t let the name of this app fool you. Even though it contains YouTube in the title, MacX can handle Amazon Prime Videos with ease. Of course, you need to have access to the Amazon Prime service before being able to use it to download the videos. Choose from the most popular formats and quality settings of up to 4K to build the perfect offline library. MacX shines through a very good download speed with no quality loss. The maximum resolution is tightly connected with the quality of the video you’re downloading.

Pros of MacX:

The user interface is one of the biggest advantages for MacX since it is very similar to the macOS interface, which makes it easy to use. However, the wide list of formats and the download speed are also attributed worth mentioning.

Cons of MacX:

The biggest disadvantage of MacX is the inability to download multiple videos at once. You will have to download your TV shows one episode after another.

Cost: Free

While it doesn’t offer the same top-quality services as the previous three apps, MacX does a great job for free software. That’s why it got the fourth spot and it is a well-deserved position.

After covering the list with the best Amazon downloader Mac-optimized software, it’s time to take a close look at what are the options for Windows users as well. Just like with the previous list of apps for Mac, we applied the strictest criteria to come up with this top 5. Functionality was put first, while other aspects like plenty of formats, quality settings, and ability to download from more sites than Amazon Prime Video were also among the main qualities an app needs to show to be on this list. Without further ado, let’s check out the best Amazon Prime Video downloader for Windows.

Another app that contains YouTube in its name, a thing that can confuse a lot of users. Indeed, WinX was originally designed for YouTube, however, it has been upgraded to deal with Amazon Prime videos as well. This means you should have an active subscription to be able to use WinX to download videos. However, once that is out of the way, WinX will allow you to save 8k videos in a wide range of formats with minimum effort.

Pros of WinX:

WinX is very gentle on the computer and only needs a fraction of the system resources to do a great job. The range of quality settings is very good for free software.

Cons of WinX:

The range of formats isn’t as wide as other apps on this list, however, considering that it’s a 100% free app, that’s something that can be overlooked.

Cost: Free

A lightweight, free app that allows you to download videos from Amazon Prime Video and over 500 other websites on Windows. Definitely the kind of app you can rely on for getting a few episodes of your favorite TV show before a flight.

Just like the name suggests, Freemake Video Downloader is a free tool that can be used to download videos from a long list of websites.

Top formats like MP4, AVI, 3GP, FLV, AVI, or MKV are available when using Freemake Video Downloader and while it doesn’t offer as many options as other apps, it’s still an amazing piece of free software.

Pros of Freemake Video Downloader:

Easily allows users to capture videos from Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, LiveLeak, and many other websites in resolutions of up to 4K.

Cons of Freemake Video Downloader:

Cost: Free

TubeOffline is a straightforward online downloader that works with a huge agenda of streaming websites. We appreciated the list of sites from where you can download, carefully arranged on the homepage and the very fast search function. There are dedicated sections for downloading from Reddit or from FreeSound, however, downloading movies from Amazon Prime Video is not at all slower or less efficient.

Pros:

Easy to use website that loads very quickly compared to other websites we analyzed. Everything is described so that users have an easy time navigating the sections.

Cons:

Limited quality settings ( just Low, Normal, and Best) and just 4 video formats supported.

Another awesome tool that allows you to download videos without installing any software on your computer, KeepVid is a website that can download videos from a long list of websites. As you can imagine, the features offered by KeepVid are limited when compared to a downloadable app, however, it doesn’t use any of your resources and also comes with plenty of quality settings for such a simple solution. You can save the videos in MP4 and that’s great since it’s the most popular video format.

Pros:

A very nice interface that makes everything look very professional and smooth. All the frequently asked questions are available right under the downloader on the website.

Cons:

You won’t be able to keep track of the videos you downloaded since Keep Vid doesn’t keep a download history. However, you can use the bookmarks in Chrome or any other browser you use.

CatchVideo is the last website solution we’re listing for all users out there that wish to download Amazon Prime movies to Mac or Windows. Besides delivering a website download experience, this website also comes with browser plug-ins for Chrome and Firefox. You can choose resolutions starting with 360p and all the way to 4K, while the download process is a simple copy-paste with the URL from Amazon Prime. The videos are downloaded as MP4 only, however, if you need any other formats, you can simply use a converter.

Pros:

Easy to use interface and if you want to make things even easier, you can add an extension for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers.

Cons:

The user interface isn’t the prettiest, however, it gets the job done. Also, the lack of other formats besides MP4 can be considered a downside.
