Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about FlowPick.

Why can't FlowPick detect videos on some websites?

Some websites use DRM protection, encrypted streams, or custom protocols that are not publicly accessible. FlowPick works best with standard HLS/DASH streams and direct video files.

What should I do if the merged video won't play?

Try downloading in a different quality level. Some streams may have corrupted segments. You can also try using a video repair tool like VLC's "Always Fix" option.

Is FlowPick free to use?

Yes! FlowPick is completely free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or premium tiers. All features are available to everyone.

Does FlowPick collect any user data?

No. FlowPick processes everything locally in your browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal data or browsing history.

Which browsers are supported?

FlowPick supports all major browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Brave and other Chromium-based browsers.

Can I download videos from streaming services?

FlowPick is designed for personal use with publicly accessible content. Please respect copyright laws and terms of service of the websites you visit.
