If you’re going offline—on a flight, commuting underground, or saving mobile data—the obvious question is: how do I watch Crunchyroll without a connection? Today, Crunchyroll supports offline viewing on specific devices and plans, while PC still lacks an official “download” button.
This guide explains what’s possible right now, what most users ask, and where tools like StreamGaGa fit in.
What Crunchyroll Officially Offers?
Offline downloads are supported on iOS/Android and Nintendo Switch via the Crunchyroll app. Inside the app you’ll see three quality choices—High / Medium / Low—and a Downloads section where offline episodes live.
Premium includes offline viewing (exact perks can vary by tier and region; Crunchyroll frequently promotes offline access in the Premium pitch). If you’re on a trial or switching plans, look for “offline viewing” on the Premium page.
Note: Crunchyroll’s Terms of Use restrict copying/redistributing content and expect you to use official features; always review before trying any third-party tool.
Can I Download on PC?
Officially, no. Crunchyroll’s offline help lists only mobile and Switch as “compatible devices” for downloading; desktop remains stream-only through the web player or Windows app.
That gap is why you’ll see many “Crunchyroll downloader for PC” searches. If you’re exploring third-party options, evaluate them carefully and respect both the ToS and local law.

Quick Answers to Popular Questions
1) Which devices actually download?
iOS/iPadOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch (via the official app). PC/Mac do not have an official offline mode.
2) Which plan do I need?
Crunchyroll markets Premium with offline viewing; tiers and availability can vary by country. Check the current Premium page before upgrading.
3) Why can’t I see the download button?
Common causes: app not updated, storage full, network hiccups, or regional/title restrictions. Crunchyroll’s troubleshooting suggests updating the app/OS, lowering download quality, retrying, and ensuring a stable connection.
4) What quality do downloads use?
You choose High / Medium / Low in Settings. (Crunchyroll describes these options rather than fixed resolutions; quality adapts to device/storage needs.)
5) Do downloads expire?
Crunchyroll doesn’t publish a universal timer on the main help pages; expiry can vary by title/region and license. If something disappears, reconnect the app online to refresh licenses or re-download. (This aligns with common support guidance.)
When a Third-party Tool Makes Sense
Some readers want MP4/MKV files on a laptop for editing notes, study playlists, or travel workflows. Tools like StreamGaGa exist for that use case—see the product overview and walkthrough from the official homepage.

Bottom line
Best, simplest path: use Crunchyroll’s mobile or Switch app to download, then watch offline.
