Having the option to stream video is great, but there are times when doing so is inconvenient. This invariably involves travel. With no internet connection, you cannot stream video. So what’s the answer?
Fortunately, the Amazon Video app on Fire tablets, as well as Android and iOS devices, enables you to download movies. TV shows are also covered by this feature.
How to Download Amazon Prime Videos on Fire Tablets
If you own an Amazon Fire tablet, you won’t need to install an app to enjoy Amazon Prime videos. The library is right there in the home screen, ready to access at any time.
To download a video, browse to it. If it’s included within the Prime package, you’ll be able to stream or download immediately; otherwise, you’ll need to purchase it. Once the movie or TV show is available to you, find the Download button.
TV shows can be downloaded as seasons (storage space permitting) or individually on a per-episode basis. You’ll find the download button for this option next to each episode.
Choosing to download prompts a choice: how big do you want the download to be? This will depend on your device’s storage capacity, and what picture quality you’re happy with. The bigger the file, the better the picture quality. Once the choice is made, your download will begin. When it’s done, you’ll be ready to watch the downloaded Amazon video offline.
How to Download Amazon Prime Movies on Android
To enjoy downloaded Amazon Prime movies on your Android device, find the Amazon Prime Video app in Google Play. Once installed, sign into the app and start browsing for videos.
(Note that if you have other Amazon apps on your device, these will sign you into Amazon Prime Video automatically.)
If you have an existing account, you should be able to find your watch list. Otherwise, browse the movies and TV shows to find something you want. Once added to your library, you’ll be able to download the movie, show, or entire season to your device, just as with the Amazon Fire tablet.
How to Download Amazon Prime Movies on iOS
The process is just as simple for iOS users, who should find the Amazon Prime Video app in the App Store.
Once downloaded and installed, sign into the app with your usual credentials and start browsing. When you’ve found the television show or movie you want to download, open it, and tap the Download button. Again, with TV shows, the option to download full seasons and individual episodes is present.
By default, downloads are set to the highest quality. Should you have an iPhone or iPad struggling with low storage, the best option here is to tap the app Settings button, open Download Quality and adjust the quality between Good, Better, and Best. Obviously, the higher the quality is, the larger the downloaded file will be.
After this short and simple process, you’re then ready to enjoy the movie on the go. Don’t forget to take a good pair of earphones with you to get the best mobile movie watching experience possible.
Can You Download Amazon Prime Videos to PC?
With options for downloading Amazon Prime video to an iOS or Android mobile device, you might expect there to be options for Windows, macOS, and maybe even Linux too.
Sadly, that’s not the case.
No legal method exists for downloading Amazon Prime videos to your computer.
While you can stream videos from Amazon, there is simply no facility to download and watch them. This is due to the digital rights management (DRM) that Amazon uses to protect its media downloads. Even purchased Amazon videos cannot be downloaded to a PC.

How To Download Movies With Amazon Prime Full
Pretty shitty of Amazon to impose this limitation, out of lack of trust for its customers. There are no reliable ISPs that service our housing area, so our internet option is a horrible 3rd party provider with harsh data limits and horribly slow speed. I have to take my laptop to Starbucks to even download videos in the first place, and when trying to watch Prime videos that I paid for at home is a horribly mediocre experience with constant errors due to connection speed. Amazon needs to get with the times. Even Microsoft and Sony allow people to download games they purchase digitally and play without being online.
Thanks for sharing. For those who want to download videos or movies for free, I think you might try WonderFox Free HD Video Converter Factory. This is a very easy to use video downloader, in addition, it can also convert the video format of the video.

I downloaded video to watch while I was in the mountains. Guess what? When I opened the Amazon Prime app to watch them, I got a message that I had to be connected to WiFi! Totally bummed that I went to the effort to download, then not be able to watch.
Download icon doesn’t show up as option?.
