Can I download an entire Whop course at once?

There's no single-click 'download everything' button — you work through lessons, but you can run 3 simultaneous downloads at a time (5 on Pro), which keeps things moving. Pre-loading tabs with each lesson's video playing before scanning saves dead time between batches.

How many Whop videos can I download per week for free?

3 full video+audio MP4 downloads per week, forever, no credit card needed. Audio-only and video-only downloads are completely unlimited at no cost. For large courses, use audio-only for lecture content and save your weekly MP4 cap for visual-heavy lessons.

What happens if my Whop access expires before I finish downloading?

You can only download content you can currently access and play in your browser. Once your subscription or access ends and Whop locks the content, the extension won't be able to see those streams. Start downloading before access expires, not after.

How much storage does a full Whop course take up?

Roughly 1.1 GB per hour at 720p, or 2.25 GB per hour at 1080p. A 20-lesson course with 45-minute lessons at 720p is about 16 GB. Budget accordingly before you start — downloading a 50 GB course to a nearly-full SSD will cause problems mid-download.

How to Download an Entire Whop Course for Offline Viewing

Downloading a single Whop video is straightforward. Downloading an entire course — 20, 40, or 60 lessons — takes more planning. This guide is specifically about that: how to pull down a full course efficiently, what the free tier covers, how to stay organized, and how to handle courses that are too big for a weekly cap.

Why people back up entire courses

The reasons are usually practical:

Access uncertainty. Whop communities come and go. Creators close memberships, move platforms, or take content down. If you paid for a course and need to reference it in six months, a local copy is the only guarantee.
Offline study. Flights, commutes, areas with bad Wi-Fi. A downloaded course means you can study anywhere.
Slow or paywalled internet. Streaming 1080p video repeatedly for review eats through data caps. A local file doesn't.
Course updates. Occasionally a creator updates or replaces a lesson. If you rely on a specific version of the material, having it downloaded means you have it even if it changes upstream.

The batch download workflow

There's no "download entire course" button — you work through lessons one at a time, but you can run multiple downloads in parallel. Here's the most efficient approach:

Set up for parallel downloading

The free Whop Downloader supports 3 simultaneous downloads. That means you can have three lessons downloading at the same time, which significantly cuts the total time compared to one-at-a-time.

Open three browser tabs, each on a different Whop lesson.

Press play on each tab before scanning

This is the step that trips people up in batch mode. Mux's stream URLs are generated on demand — they don't exist until the player requests them by starting playback. In each tab, press play and let the video run for a few seconds. Then open the extension and scan.

If you scan a tab where the video hasn't been played yet, the extension will find nothing. Go back to that tab, press play, wait a second, and rescan.

Queue all three, then move on

Once all three are downloading, open three more tabs in the background and press play on those videos too (they don't need to finish playing — just start). By the time your first batch finishes downloading, the streams for the next batch are already loaded and ready to scan.

This overlap — pre-loading the next batch while the current one downloads — cuts dead time significantly in a large course.

Files land automatically organized

Downloaded files are named after the video's title. If the Whop course has well-named lessons ("Module 3 – Email Sequences," "Week 2 Day 1 – Facebook Ads Setup"), your downloads folder becomes a self-organizing archive of the course. No renaming needed. If you want to go further, create a folder per module and move files there as batches complete.

Install the Free Whop DownloaderFree to start — 3 full downloads/week, audio & video-only always free.

Planning around the free tier

The free tier gives you 3 full video+audio MP4 downloads per week, forever. Audio-only and video-only downloads are completely free with no weekly limit.

For a 30-lesson course, here's the math:

3 full downloads/week = 10 weeks to download the full course at one per day
With 3 simultaneous = still 10 weeks because it's a weekly cap, not a session cap

If the weekly limit is a constraint, there are two practical strategies:

Strategy 1: Use audio-only for lecture-heavy content. A lot of course content is essentially a talking-head or voice-over presentation. The information is in the audio. Downloading these lessons as audio-only is unlimited and free — you're not burning your weekly cap. Save the full MP4 cap for lessons where the visual matters (demonstrations, screen shares, slides with diagrams).

Strategy 2: Upgrade to Pro for the duration of a big backup job. At $9.99/month, Pro removes the cap entirely and downloads at up to 5× faster speeds. Upgrade, download your course over a weekend, then decide whether to stay on Pro. A one-month Pro subscription costs less than most courses.

Storage planning

Before you start, estimate how much space you'll need. Actual file sizes vary by creator, resolution, and video length, but these are reasonable estimates:

Resolution	Typical bitrate	Storage per hour
360p	~500 Kbps	~225 MB
720p	~2.5 Mbps	~1.1 GB
1080p	~5 Mbps	~2.25 GB

A 20-lesson course with 45-minute lessons at 720p: 20 × 45min × 1.1 GB/hr ≈ 16 GB.

A 40-lesson course at 1080p with 30-minute lessons: 40 × 0.5hr × 2.25 GB/hr ≈ 45 GB.

For anything over 20 GB, consider an external drive. Downloading a 40-lesson course to a full laptop SSD is a bad time.

Quality choice for an entire course

If you're downloading everything:

Lecture-only sessions (talking head, voice-over slides): 720p is fine. The difference between 720p and 1080p for a presenter talking over a slide is invisible in practice. Go 720p and save 50% on storage.
Technical demonstrations, code, design work: 1080p. You need to be able to read text on screen without zooming in.
Audio-only for podcast-style content: Unlimited free, takes seconds per lesson, tiny files (~50 MB/hour). Use this aggressively for lecture-heavy modules.

Downloading a course before access expires

If your Whop access is time-limited (monthly subscription, a cohort with an end date), don't wait until the last week to start backing things up. Run the batch download workflow as soon as you know access is ending. The free tier's 3/week cap means a 30-lesson course takes 10 weeks on free — start early or use Pro for the download sprint.

If you're downloading to preserve access before a subscription ends, prioritize the lessons you haven't watched yet over ones you've already studied. You can always watch the finished downloads later; you can't recover content you didn't save before access closed.

Keeping your archive organized long-term

A few things that help when you're storing 30+ videos:

Create a folder per course (not per creator — courses move between platforms). ~/Whop Courses/[Course Name]/ works.
Rename files with a lesson number prefix if the creator's titles don't already include them. 01 – Introduction.mp4, 02 – Setting Up Your Account.mp4. This keeps them sorted correctly in any file browser.
Keep a text file in the folder with the course URL and your access status. If access ends and you want to revisit something, knowing where it was and whether it's still accessible saves time.
External SSD over cloud storage for video. Syncing 40 GB of video to iCloud or Google Drive costs money and time. A 1 TB Samsung T7 ($80) is faster to access and doesn't have a monthly fee.
