Free Netflix Download is an app that allows Netflix subscribers to capture streaming videos on the service and save to their computers.

FlixGrab is the official name of this app made by FreeGrabApp, a software company that markets several video downloader apps. FlixGrab is able to capture a Netflix data stream received by your device over the internet and create a video file that can be saved and watched at your leisure. This makes is ideal for Netflix subscribers who don't always have an internet connection to watch their favorite TV show or movie. The catch is that you'll need to have an active subscription to Netflix and only use the downloads for your own personal convenience.

To download a Netflix video using the Windows 10 version of FlixGrab, you simply need to copy the video link from Netflix's website, paste it into the app interface, and then click the download button. The only other requirement is to be logged into your Netflix account.

FlixGrab isn't a large, complex application, but it does manage to provide a collection of useful features in a simple package. The user interface is refined after several iterations, making it uncomplicated to find the settings you need. You have full control of downloads with a feature that allows you to pause, resume, or cancel each individually. It can handle the encoding needed to save digital surround sound and HD quality videos. You can download multiple videos at the same time, and you'll be happy in some cases to find that the subtitles have been preserved.

FlixGrab is a handy tool to have if you want to watch videos from Netflix's selection of TV shows and movies while traveling or out and about without internet connectivity.
