Remove Hulu Download Limits

Hulu Download Limits

Hulu supports the ability to download videos and play them offline for users who subscribe to an ad-free plan. This allows them to play and watch Hulu videos as usual when they are disconnected from Wi-Fi or cell service.

The offline downloads are exclusive to paid subscribers of Hulu’s No Ads plan. This plan costs $12.99 per month, whereas the service’s base plan is $6.99 per month. Hulu’s business model here, clearly, is to encourage signups to its more expensive, ad-free subscription tier.

The offline downloads feature is available in the Hulu app for Android, iOS and iPadOS in the US. Hulu said “thousands” of TV shows and movies will be eligible to be downloaded, but you can’t download everything that’s on the service. You can tap the new downloads icon in the menu bar of the Hulu mobile app and pick “see what’s downloadable" to find TV shows and movies that allow offline downloading.

You can download up to 25 titles across five different devices. You will have up to 30 days to watch the downloaded content, too. For watched content, the download will expire two days after starting playback. When it expires, you can renew it, if the content is still available.

The Solution to Remove Hulu Download Limit

First, it should be clear that these download restrictions exist only for videos downloaded through the Hulu app. In other words, if you don't download the video through the Hulu app, but through a third-party Hulu video downloader, these download restrictions will no longer exist. So you just need to find a powerful and easy-to-use third-party video downloader for Hulu. Kigo Hulu Video Downloader is what you are looking for.
