ClipHutch

Web Media Capture. Your browser's media shelf.

A Chrome extension that watches network requests on the pages you visit, scans image URL attributes already present in page markup, and lists the videos and still images it detects. Click the toolbar icon to see what's been detected on the current tab; click Download to save a file. The free tier never contacts a ClipHutch server.

What it does

Detects direct video files (MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV) as pages load them.
Detects larger still images without requiring you to click each image first.
Detects HLS playlists (.m3u8) and DASH manifests (.mpd).
Saves direct files via Chrome's download manager.
Converts WebM direct files and supported HLS/DASH streams locally to MP4.

What makes it different

5 API permissions, not 14.

No scripting API. Limited image-URL DOM access. No analytics or telemetry. The free tier never contacts a ClipHutch server. Licensed users contact the ClipHutch license-validation endpoint at activation and at most once every seven days afterward.
